Halifax Vandals v Baildon - Not predicting my own team, but things are looking ok so far based on pre-season. Brand new coaching team has really got the lads engaged and keen again. Couple of new additions too. Hoping for a better season than the last couple.
Knottingley v Harrogate Pythons - Knottingley to continue the form from the end of last season. Knottingley by 14.
Leeds Corinthians v Ossett - Good time to play Corinthians. they'll still be missing their RL boys for a few more weeks. Ossett had a good season in getting promoted last year, so I'm going for an Ossett win by 7.
Rotherham Phoenix v Aireborough - Aire lucky to stay up last year. Glad they did though, decent set of young lads coming through who probably just need another season or two to become really competitive. Think Roth will have too much for them though. Roth Phoenix by 21. JOKER
Sheffield Medics v Hemsworth - No idea with this one! Are the students back at uni yet? Student teams usually struggle early on, so I'll guess at an away win for Hemsworth by 14.
Skipton v Old Otliensians - Otliensians will have way too much for Skipton. Think it could be Skipton and Aireborough for the drop this year. Going with Otliensians by 30.
Wibsey v Castleford - Been hearing all sorts about Wibsey throwing some serious coin around this summer! You never know whether stories like that are true or just a load of waffle, but they seem to have recruited a few from Bradford Salem and absolutely blitzed Y4 last year, so I reckon they'll be targeting going straight through 3 and upto 2 this year. Tough one to call, Cas can be very hit and miss, but I'm going with Wibsey by 10.
Good luck to everyone. Everyone says it every year, but it really does look like it could be a very competitive league this year!
