[Winrew]

Huddersfield (+8) v Warrington Warrington have lost four in a row and with the talent that they have got that is a very poor performance. Last week they at least contributed to a classic game with St Helens despite losing again. That will have given them confidence, and I'll nominate them as one of the bets of the round to win the game against Huddersfield and cover the start. The Giants have been poor for quite a few weeks now. Their attack has been too deep and their defence has been too loose. Warrington can take advantage this weekend and bounce back from their losing slump as their big players can rise to the occasion in this fantastic stadium.

Castleford (+6) v Wakefield Wakefield were down 20-6 at half-time last week and they came back to win quite convincingly against Harlequins. If they play like they did in the second half they will beat Castleford, but if they don't start well the Tigers will have a real sniff. The interesting thing punters should consider is the fact Wakefield have covered the start in their last four games but it's very hard to keep covering the start like that. I'm going to go for a bit of an upset here and go with the Tigers. Wakefield started slowly at home last week, and with Ricky Bibey out this week that will put a lot of pressure on Richard Moore. Cas can start well here and if they do they can respond to the atmosphere and make the most of their handicap advantage.

Bradford (+4) v Leeds Leeds have got a few injury problems at the moment and they seem to have too many back-rowers out with Gareth Ellis, Jamie Jones-Buchanen and Ali Lauititi all missing. They lose a lot of strike there and that makes it really hard for them as Bradford are strong in that area with the likes of David Solomona. I'm going to take Bradford to cover the start and win the game. I don't think there will be a lot in the game but the injuries to Leeds will handicap them and the Bulls can capitalise and prove a point after their last loss to the Rhinos at home.

Harlequins (+4) v Catalans Harlequins completely dominated the first half against Wakefield before falling asleep. There will have been some soul-searching as to why they didn't go on and win the game. They did have a couple of tries disallowed that would have put the game to bed and wouldn't have let Wakefield back into it but that shouldn't disguise the fact they were very poor second period. I think this week they can start just as well - and see it through. Scott Hill came off the field last week when they were leading 20-6 and they conceded the points with him out of the game. With him starting and hopefully playing 80 minutes Harlequins can cause a little bit of an upset here and win the match.
