The beginning is nigh!
So we'd better get this party started.

Don't panic! there's still time to join, just make your selections and send a charity donation to KinleyCat (pm him for details)

For the regulars, it's just like last year.

As there's some newbies, some rules:

I'll post the fixtures for each round on this thread.
Just pick which team you think will win for each fixture through the course of the season.

It's easiest just to copy & paste the list from a previous poster and highlight/colour your choices
(their highlights/colours are not copied)

e.g.

[uRound 1[/u
Wigan v Huddersfield
Warrington v St Helens
Hull FC v Catalans
Bradford v Castleford
Hull KR v Leeds
Salford v Wakefield
Widnes v London

or if it's easier, just type in:
Wigan
Saints
Hull
Cas
Leeds
Wakefield
Widnes

using the same fixture order helps to minimise mistakes



You get 2 points if you're right, 0 points if you're wrong.
5 points for correctly predicting a draw
A bonus 2 points if you predict all the fixtures correctly in one round.

I'll post the points table each week.

The deadline for posting is kick-off time for the first fixture. You can post late, but games that have already started won't count.

Because the fixtures were 'organised' by the RFL (and not us), it gets off to a bit of a false start with just one fixture next Friday and the rest the following weekend (from Thursday).
There will be a lot of short turn-arounds with the Thursday fixtures, but we'll try to keep on top of it.
If you want to predict for the whole round 1 straight away, feel free.

We'll still have a maximum of 2 'bye' rounds through the season like last year, where you'll be awarded 4 points should you forget to post because you have a life of something. If you're going away, feel free to post predictions for upcoming weeks.

Any questions or obvious errors, post on here or pm me.

Best of Luck,

Coco

Well, Little Leon, fresh from winning the "predict a draw league" last season has now consulted the Oracle, but was a little bit miffed to find that it had shut down along with Ceefax. So he has adopted the Zen method of "Oh well its the first game off the season so no-one has a clue really so lets just guess" style of predicting. So with the aid of an Etch-a-Sketch, a Pocoyo DVD and some Kinder chocolate he has come up with the Following:- Round 1 Fixtures =#FF0000Wigan v Huddersfield =#FF0000Warrington v St Helens Hull FC v =#FF0000Catalans Bradford v =#FF0000Castleford Hull KR v =#FF0000Leeds Salford v =#FF0000Wakefield =#FF0000Widnes v London Cheers Coco, heading out to your neck of the woods in 3 weeks, better store up some good weather!
