Week 5 Predictions (18/10/25)

[Locked Out]

Some "do or die" fixtures this coming week and can the top three remain unbeaten? Can't see any of them losing to be honest.

Bradford & Bingley v Halifax Vandals
Bramley Phoenix v Halifax
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Old Otliensians
Ripon v Northallerton
Roundhegians v Ossett
Bridlington v Baildon

[Locked Out]

Broke & Busted v Hooligans: The wheels at Wagon Lane will keep rolling along and a formulaic home win. B&B +7

Bad Apples v Filofax: Home advantage seems to be working in a quieter than of recent years LS13, but the BPs probably got enough for a winning BP. Bramley +7

Laundromats v Ouzos: If the speedsters can keep away from the juggernauts, could be a simple day at the office for the visitors. )) +7

Rugrats v Old Farmers: The original "Old Firm" of Y2 before the Halifaxes got involved, will see a typical agricultural slug fest. Ripon to rise above the driving maul morass and bag a few more tries for a win in a while. Ripon +7

Snoozers v Wakey Wind ups: No need for Hegians to open more than one eye here. Home speed and youth will do a decent job. Hegians +7

Fishermen's Friends v Ca$h Cow$: Could be match of the day and a low scoring battle with Brid facing perhaps their stiffest opposition yet. Baildon -7

[Slug of a 6]

Bradford & Bingley v Halifax Vandals: B&B to maintain 100% record +7
Bramley Phoenix v Halifax: Home advantage here so BP +7
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Old Otliensians: tough one, but the weather looks fair for next week so pace to overwhelm physical approach.  OO +7
Ripon v Northallerton: Ripon build on the OO game to get the win +7
Roundhegians v Ossett: Hegians with home advantage +7
Bridlington v Baildon: seriously can't see Baildon getting anything here. Brid by plenty +7
