Week 16 Predictions (28/02/26)

[Locked Out]

I honestly can't recall a season when there were only seven points between the top five teams and a situation where nobody is home and dry at this point. Some tasty line ups next weekend that could create more uncertainty:

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

[Locked Out]

Big Apples v Wakey Windups: Home advantage seemed to work on stalling the OO's machine and on paper this should be a shoe in for the Warrels Massive. A chance for Ossett's finest to find their mojo? maybe not - Bramley -7

Fishermen's Friends v Launderers: Possibly the most intense match this week and noting Brid's vulnerabilities, could be a right upset. Assuming they travel well Hudds +7

Old Farmers v Not so Old Otliensians: There may be a bit of grunt and grind when to start with but OOs to run a few rings. OOs +7

Rugrats v Fax of Life: Ripon can't afford any more slips ups if aspiring to a top half finish, so will dig deep and come good back at home again. Ripon +7

Sleepwalkers v Hooligans: At home again, if they stick to their simple game plan, Hegians should create the gaps in the right places and get another five pointer. Hegians +7

Broke & Busted v Ca$h Cow$: A tough local Derby between swamp dwellers and mountain folk. Assuming the flood plain can accommodate a game, fancy the mountain folk to have a good go. Bai£don -7

[Love away games]

Bramley Phoenix v Ossett - BP - +7
Bridlington v Huddersfield Laund Hill - Brid -7
Northallerton v Old Otliensians - OO -7
Ripon v Halifax - Ripon +7
Roundhegians v Halifax Vandals - Heigan's +7
Bradford & Bingley v Baildon - Baildon -7

[HandsInTheRuck]

Bramley Phoenix v Ossett - Bramley will be full of confidence with the close game against OO -  Bramley +7

Bridlington v Huddersfield Laund Hill - Could be a decent scrap this - Brid +7

Northallerton v Old Otliensians - North are ever improving especially at home - OO -7

Ripon v Halifax-  Ripon +7

Roundhegians v Halifax Vandals  Roundhegians to put a big number here Hegians +7

Bradford & Bingley v Baildon - Bee's having way too much up front Bees +7

Good Luck all.

[The Tank]

All home wins +7 except the Mighty Otliensians who will win by +7.

[Crowding the bar]

BP v ossett- BP to get a few over the line here. BP +7

Brid v HLH- One thing that always lets HLH down is that they don't travel well and for that reason gonna go with a Brid -7

Northallerton v OOs- as previously stated by others here north have improved significantly this season especially at home however ensians should have enough out side to run up a bp win. OOS +7

Ripon v fax- impressive performance from Ripon against hegians last weekend and dare I say poor game management taking 3 points from 10 yards out whilst it was still a 7 point game cost it for them, can't see them making many mistakes against the Halifax mob. Ripon +7

Hegians v HV- hegians just need to keep winning and another strong performance necessary here as vandals are no mugs. Hegians +7

B&B v baildon- id say due to the fact it's a local derby this takes rhe GOTW spot over brid v HLH, strong affair with the wagon lane faithful pushing their boys over the line. B&B -7

[Slug of a 6]

Bramley Phoenix v Ossett. BP played an attractive game vs OO's last week and a lack of discipline cost them at crucial times.  BP +7 & a lot more
Bridlington v Huddersfield Laund Hill. If HLH travel with strength that they can cause an upset, but will they? Brid -7
Northallerton v Old Otliensians. If OO's get the ball to release thier back 3 then it's a cakewalk! But Northallerton seem a different team since Xmas. OO's by +7
Ripon v Halifax. Ripon a bit like my little dog, unpredictable, but home advantage should be enough.  Ripon +7
Roundhegians v Halifax Vandals. Hegians kids to celebrate a good win with crucial efficiency here. Hegians +7
Bradford & Bingley v Baildon. Love the swamp dwellers vs mountain folk comparison 👌 Bees +7
