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

[Locked Out]

Fax of life v Old Farmers: Think there's enough fight in the Fax dog to protect their home territory. It's not going to be a pretty sight, but could give Fax the points they need and of course North desperate to avoid the drop too. Fax -7

Hooligans v Bad Apples: Probably both teams clear of the drop zone but maybe a bit of pride at stake, so maybe Vandals chance to move up a place. HV -7

Launders v B&B: A right proper slug-fest this one and victory goes to last man standing. Can't see much mercurial rugby on show here but think home advantage may upset the pecking order in the top four. HLH -7

OOs v Fishermen's Friends: Can the speedsters get back in contention, well maybe. A close run thing and noting Brid's away form Old Ots -7

Wakey Wind ups v Rugrats: Ossett down but not out and Rugrats not so mature now as to not let the prospect of a bus trip into Wakey distract them from what comes first. Assuming Ripon focus on getting back into the top half of the table... Ripon +7

Bai£don v Snoozers: Regardless of snow, wind, ice, flooding, or any other acts of God on mini-Mount Doom, can't see past Hegians scoring tries for fun. Hegians +7

[Retired youngster]

Halifax v Northallerton – Halifax -7

Halifax V v Bramley P – Halifax V +7

Hudd L H v B&B – HLH + 7

Old O v Bridlington – Old O +7

Ossett v Ripon – Ripon +7

Baildon v Hegians – Hegians +7

[Crowding the bar]

Fax v Northallerton- really tricky to predict this one, don't think north will travel well enough to defeat the fax pack so gonna go for a fax -7

HV v BP- will be a close contest and likely the same case as the other game in Halifax, home advantage will get Vandals over the line. -7

HLH v B&B- Laund hill will be too strong at home for the travelling bees mob. HLH +7

OOs v Brid- game of the week by a country mile. Otley really need to do a number on Brid to pile on the pressure and Brid will have to be right on form, having said that Brid seem to like the big occasions so gonna go Brid -7

Ossett v Ripon- Ripon should run up a few tries here. Ripon +7

Baildon v hegians- with it probably being a close lower scoring contest in otley a hegians 5 pointer will see them sit at the summit of the league and after recent performances they should be expecting nothing less despite the fact baildon is a tough place to go. Hegians +7

[HandsInTheRuck]

Halifax v Northallerton -  Northallerton -7

Halifax Vandals v Bramley Phoenix     Bramley -7

Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bradford & Bingley    Bees -7

Old Otliensians v Bridlington    OO -7

[Caravanboys]

Halifax v Northallerton close came to call travel might be the difference. But will go for home win -7
Vandals v Bramley Phoenix always close but Bramley should nail it +7.
HLH v Bees- home win -7
Ensians v Brid- think Brid will try to monster otliensians who will try to use the wings to good effect home win -7
Ossett v Ripon Ripon +7
Baildon v Roundheigns- heigians +7

[Slug of a 6]

Halifax v Northallerton Difficult to assess but I guess home advantage wins out. Halifax -7
Halifax Vandals v Bramley Phoenix. As above. Vandals +7
Huddersfield Laund Hill v Bradford & Bingley. Forward slug fest. HLH +7
Old Otliensians v Bridlington. Difficult again, but gotta go with Ensians on their own turf.OO +7
Ossett v Ripon. Ripon +7
Baildon v Roundhegians. The kids to punish Baildon and by quite a bit. Hegians +7

[The Tank]

Halifax v Northallerton – NA +7   Slugfest

Halifax V v Bramley P – Halifax V +7   It will be uphill

Hudd L H v B&B – B&B +7     Bees continue buzzing

Old O v Bridlington – Old O +7   Time for payback

Ossett v Ripon – Ripon +7     Ossett have given up

Baildon v Hegians – Hegians +7    Too fast for the fighting Baildonians (Last weeks red card didn't help)
