[Pockroach]

Bradford Salem v Pocklington
Doncaster Phoenix v Scarborough
Moortown v Morley
Old Brodleians v Wetherby
Malton and Norton v Old Crossleyans
Pontefract v Selby

[Oldandslow]

Salem v Pock – Salem are much stronger at home and Pocklington will need to be at their best to win. A Pock win but not by many.

Donny P v Scarborough – Can only see a big bonus point win for Scarborough.

Moortown v Morley – Home advantage to be the decider Moortown win.

Old Brods v Wetherby -  Home advantage and the hill of doom to give Old Brods the win.

M&N v Old Crocs – Even this early in the season it's a must win game for both sides with the looser firmly in second bottom relegation position. If Old Crocs are near full strength taking them to win a close game.

Pontefract v Selby –  Expecting a very close game which could go either way. With no confidence going for a home win.

[FlankSinatra]

Bradford Salem vs Pocklington - a routine Pocklington victory. Cant see a few big guys threatening this Pocklington rugby machine.

Doncaster Phoenix vs Scarborough - Scarborough by 30+ I would guess.

Moortown vs Morley - 5 weeks ago I would have said Morley now not so sure. First draw of the season.

Old Brodleians vs Wetherby - Wetherby have to come good at some point but Old Brodleians at home are tough to beat. Old Brodleains but not by a lot.

Malton and Norton vs Old Crossleyans - Malton to win here by 10 and gain some stability. Unsure how well Old Crossleyans will travel but saying that they did beat wetherby.

Pontefract vs Selby - would only be right to predict a Selby victory here as they are the better outfit.

[Crocadoodledo]

$alem v Pock - Pock to carry on the fairy-tale start and give $alem another expensive loss. Pock +7

Phoenix v Scarborough - I'd love to predict an upset but that would be stupid. Scarbados +7

Moortown v Morley - Yet to see Moortown this season, but never a pleasant place to go, therefore going purely off recent form. Moortown +7

Brods v Wetherby - Brods to fall down the slope as usual and sneak it. Brods -7

M&N v Crocs - Crocs still struggling with a few injuries and absentees, however that didn't seem to matter last week. Not a clue how this will go but got to back the boys. Crocs +7

Pontefract v Selby - Tight game. DRAW

[Pumba]

I said last week the league will close up and with only 14 Points between 2nd and 9th I would say its all to play for, Town were 2nd bottom 3 weeks ago and with a bit of form they find them selves 7th with a chance at 5th with a few results needed this weekend.

If Brods and Scabs win and Pock happen to have a mishap they would be within 5 points of the top spot and that's when this league gets fun.

$alem vs Pock - I think this could be a close encounter and a high scoring game from both sides but for me it will be a Pock BP Win and Salem may pick up a point.

Donny P vs Scabs - BP will be secured in the 1st half and Donny will struggle all afternoon. Scabs BP Win

Town vs Morley - Always a good game to watch for a neutral but on recent form from a new looking Town I can only see a home BP win for Town.

Brods vs Wetherby - Brods could be having a bit of a stumble as the last 2 games they were run close by Scabs and scored a last minute try to get a win and got nothing at Town last week, This week could be a turning point for them but I'm backing them to get back on track with a BP win.

M&N vs Crocs - Battle of the bottom as 1 BP splits these 2 so it is an evenly matched contest that could go either way. Either team -7 or a Draw.

Ponte vs Selby - Selby have not won away from home yet this season and I don't think that will change on Saturday. Ponte BP win.

[Blessedhooker]

$alem v Pock - Salem will be licking their wounds after what I've been told was a tonking by Crocs. Salem to break the streak  . Salem -7

Phoenix v Scarborough - ...

Moortown v Morley - Moortown to carry on with their improved defence and cement Morely into their typical mid table finish. -7

Brods v Wetherby - After a loss Brods inevitably to tighten up the defence. 80 mins of mauling - Brods -7

M&N v Crocs - This will be tasty - crucial for the league. Can Crocs put a run together. Discipline will decide this game. Im going Crocs 21-20.

Pontefract v Selby - Two average teams. DRAW

[Ruckitrory]

Salem vs Pock
Pock the standout team of this league and Salem absolutely awful last week. Can see this being a cricket score to the good guys
Pock +7
Phoenix vs Scarborough
Jeez luis if I could take Scarborough +80 I would
Scarborough +7
Moortown vs Morley
Think Morley just too much for moortown but I think it will be close
Morely - 7
Brods vs Wetherby
Brods with the hill at home will be hard to beat but could potentially see an upset brewing
Brods - 7
M&N vs Crocs
Crocs I heard got in the heads of Salem last week and played them off the park. Couple consolation tries did Salem well but I think crocs have turned a corner. Number 8 pollard I heard is out who is a big loss but none of the less I see crocs carrying the momentum from 3 wins in last 4 games
Crocs - 7
Pont vs Selby
Selby - 7
RIR
COME ON POCK

[Broomfield Barmy Army]

Bradford Salem v Pocklington - Salem offered very little last week as it seems cold weather froze their warm weather boys. Pock machine to churn out another comfortable win

Doncaster Phoenix v Scarborough - Doncaster's only hope is the Scarbs bus breaking down on the way over.

Moortown v Morley - Moortown picking up form and Morley very hit and miss. Moortown Dub

Old Brodleians v Wetherby - Stoke City thrive in the wintery conditions & Wetherby will be crumble under the long throw ins. Brods win

Malton and Norton v Old Crossleyans - Big game. Malton away a banana peel in recent years for the away team however Crocs are finding their feet despite what some score lines recently may suggest. Some fire power expected to return in the backs for Crocs. Tight Crocs win.


Pontefract v Selby - Everyone say draw but Selby more organised and offer more. Away win

I see a few of the predictions were a bit off the mark.
