Week 22 Predictions (05/04/25)

[Locked Out]

Here we are at the end of a long and arduous season for some. Final predictions for anyone interested:

Burley v Halifax
Castleford v Thornensians
Leeds Corinthians v Thirsk
Old Otliensians v Rotherham Phoenix
West Park Leeds v Skipton
Wheatley Hills v Barnsley

[Locked Out]

Burley v Fax: Even though Burley is a tough place to get a result at, can't see Fax doing anything than going all out for a five pointer. Fax +7

Ca$h v Thorne: Being at home and out of the danger zone, think Ca$h will be a force to contend with. Cas +7

Leeds C v Thirsk: With or without their RL contingent, Corinthians will be too strong at home and may see Thirsk actually throwing in the towel. Leeds C +7/HWO

OOs v Phoenix: Phoenix not doing too badly for a top half finish but not enough to stop the mighty O's relentless pursuit of excellence. OOs +7

WPL v Skips: With the wide open spaces of the Sycamores, no hiding place for a lack lustre Skipton side. WPL +7

Weatos v Barnos: Shame the Weatos could string enough decent games together to be promotion contenders, but this one will be a try fest for them. Barno probably safe from the drop so may bag a few themselves. Hills +7

[AntiGas]

Burley v Halifax - Without anything to play for will the Fax lads all be off to league this weekend? Wonder if Burley can make it a closer affair. Halifax -7
Castleford v Thornensians - As Cas are at home I'll just about favour them, but Thorne better as of late. Cas -7
Leeds Corinthians v Thirsk - Agree with Locked Out's assessment, long way to come for an already relegated Thirsk so may see a HWO. They've the quality to be a better than rock bottom side, they just looked rudderless in the games I saw of them. A bit of guidance and they should be straight back up. LC +7/HWO
Old Otliensians v Rotherham Phoenix - OO's to see off a very strong season in style. OO +7
West Park Leeds v Skipton - Not sure what's changed at Skipton but they've strung it together late this season  with some impressive results. West Park a very difficult side to turn over at home however. West Park -7
Wheatley Hills v Barnsley - Wheatley Hills will have too much all over the park here. Bigger, Faster, Stronger. WH +7
