ShropshireBull Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I should give up predictions as unlike SL it is hard to pick winners outside top 2. But here goes: Broncos- Should have enough against Oldham to get going. Batley- Widnes look dire and Batley's pitch will suit them. York- Battle of two pointless teams. Think they will have just enough against a well drilled Lions team. Fev Toulouse Eagles- Keep up their momentum and early season playoff push. Bulls- Depends which side shows up. After this week means only Swinton will be pointless and a whole host of teams will think they are legitimate playoff contenders whilst Widnes find themselves in a fight with Thunder, Older, Swinton and Whitehaven at the foot of the table.

Wakefield Ram Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 London Broncos Batley Bulldogs - think they might be this year's surprise team York City Knights - looking to bounce back after Sheffield loss Featherstone Rovers - should be too strong for Haven Toulouse Olympique - look potential title contenders if they keep their form Sheffield Eagles - always a good side, not sure how Newcastle will fare this season Dewsbury Rams - yes its my team, but think they'll be a difficult team to beat this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Ox Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Pretty much expecting everything to go with form or quality. London to get off the mark against Oldham with a big win. Batley to have too much for Widnes. Swinton to sneak a win against York. Fev easy win against Haven. Toulouse easy win against Fax. Sheffield maybe by about 10-16 points against Newcastle. Dewsbury to beat the Bulls but in a tight one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Oldham refuse to travel to London because two other clubs have been excused the journey and it's so unfair! 4 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

wilsontown Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 York are really needing to get a league win on the board here. And if we think it'll be easy we'll not be getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this, the test will come later in the season when injuries start to pile up, some clubs will be better placed with depth, or have the finance to bring in reinforcements, others may end up doing it tough.

Toulouse are already stretched as their injury list got longer this week. Building a team of experienced players also means that they are no spring chickens !

Becomes a balancing act. If club are still in a playoff hunt and can strengthen we will see finances come into play. Its why I expect Thunder to get stronger as season goes on.
