Some interesting results last week, looking forward to another great week of rugby.

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale
Pythons picking up some good results, and a struggling wensleydale side won't get anything on the road. HP +7

Hullensians v Doncaster Phoenix
Going to be a very long season for DP, fair play to the lad turning up each week. Hull +7

Keighley v Bridlington
Have keighley turned a corner? Surprised me with a convincing result against WL. Think they will have too much for brid at home. Keigh +7

Old Crossleyans v West Leeds
Tough loss to take last week. But Crocs haven't lost in a long time at home, and I don't expect that to change. Crocs +7

Old Otliensians v Goole
MOTD. Could go either way and both teams are solid across the park. Will sonic be able to work his magic? Or will the goolies cause an upset on the road? Goole -7

Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury
Ri$h in panic mode? Yarnbury in good form. Only one way this result goes and rish to end the week with no points. Yarn +7

[Crocadoodledo]

Pythons v Wensleydale - Looks like a routine mauling by the pythons. Dale look in a spot of bother. HP +7

Hull v Donny - Still not this week for Donny, or next week or the week after. Hull +77

Keith v Brid - Serious result for Keith last week. Has it been conditioning training or do they just cope better  not on the 4g. Can't imagine this being a pretty game to watch. Keith +7

Crocs v West Leeds - Sadly I won't be able to make this week, but I'm as confident as ever, even after a couple of losses on the road. Bold claim, I don't think Crocs will lose a game at home this season. The postage stamp ,as the RNE2 forum named it, to become the fortress it once was. Routine win. Crocs +7

Otliensians v Goole - MOTD. Goole were impressive last week in the first half, but a shadow of themselves in the second. If Otliensians can get a couple of early tries, I'm not sure the Goolies have the minerals when the going gets tough. OO -7

Ri$h v Yarnbury - What's going on at Rish, are more players going to follow our debutant last week (Impressive), up the hill to Broomfield?! Good result for Yarnbury last week. Can't see anything apart from a Ri$h collapse. Yarn +7

[HandsInTheRuck]

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale - Form vs none form -  HP +7

Hullensians v Doncaster Phoenix - another long afternoon for Donny ULL +7

Keighley v Bridlington - Keighley will edge this at home Keighley -7

Old Crossleyans v West Leeds - Crocs gonna be tough to beat at home, especially this week Crocs +7

Old Otliensians v Goole - MOTD and a true test for both teams game will be won on which time capitalise on the others mistakes   OO -7

Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury - Yarn will offer too much out the back Yarn +7

Good Luck all.

[The Lurker]

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale
Pythons having an excellent start to the season, Wensleydale aren't, which is a shame as I like Wensleydale as a club... Pythons +7

Hullensians v Doncaster Phoenix
Another heavy loss for Phoenix at the weekend, this one should be a more respectable scoreline but still think Hull +7

Keighley v Bridlington
Good win for Keef on sat away from home, I just don't think they are set up to take advantage of the 4G pitch at their place. That said, a long away day for the Seasiders who don't seem to travel. Keighley +7

Old Crossleyans v West Leeds
Could be a long afternoon for WL if they are struggling up front with some more prime Argentinian beef to contend with. Crocs play well in the secret garden. OC +7

Old Otliensians v Goole
A real test for OO here, but can Goole put in an 80 minute performance? It's going to be a great game of rugby between the only unbeaten sides. I reckon Goole will just edge it but almost impossible to predict this one! Goole -7

Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury
Sounds like there is something amiss at Rish, could it be Gabs with whatever the opposite of the Midas touch is again? The plane spotters not the same prospect off the magic carpet and injuries starting to stretch the squad allegedly, but think they'll win in a fairly high scoring game. Yarn -7

[Blessedhooker]

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale - I think Dale will win two away games at most (not this one) MAULED



Keighley v Bridlington - Mighty bus trip for the lads the notoriously get homesick. Keith to go on a bit of a run now +20

Old Crossleyans v West Leeds - Not seen WL play yet but had a few inconsistent results. Capable of scoring but I can't see them winning this one. Crocs +7

Mindset Monsters v Goole - I didn't see Shishkin on the teamsheet for OO last week (Lucky for Ri$h). I thought Goole lacked out wide at the weekend. This will be a great battle of 13's. OO match to lose.

Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury - I have a feeling Rish will bully their way to a win here if at full strength. He who shall not be named started against Dale last week - Hopefully his scrum cap still fits.

Pythons -7
Hullensians +7
Keighley +7
Old Cross +7
Goole -7
Yarnbury -7

[Slug of a 6]

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale.  HP by at least 20
Hullensians v Doncaster Phoenix. Sooner or later DP will turn in performance that will surprise all. Why not this week? DP -7
Keighley v Bridlington. Keighley heads, Brid tails .... Brid -7
Old Crossleyans v West Leeds. OC seem to be finding form, and players. OC +7
Old Otliensians v Goole. With all respect, the biggest test yet for OO this week. The rain won't affect OO pitch so reading the previous comments, a tight game decided by the ball the backs get to use. OO +7
Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury.Crap weather forecast for week will assist OR, but Yawn by +7

[Locked Out]

Harrogate Pythons v Wensleydale: Class v clout - Pythons -7
Hullensians v Doncaster Phoenix: Another tough day in the office for Donny. At least they don't have to go too far for the drubbing - 'Ull +7
Keighley v Bridlington: Magic carpet and worst travelling team in the league - Keefleh +7
Old Crossleyans v West Leeds: Don't know much about either apart from the hype on here - Crocs -7
Old Otliensians v Goole: Agreed contender for MOTD, going with home advantage only - OOs -7
Old Rishworthian v Yarnbury: If the rumours of Old Rich implosion are true, a good away win for the planespotters - Yawno +7
