Congratulations to MancKevin who correctly tipped today`s draw between HullKR and Huddersfield, gaining 7 much needed points for himself!
For the rest of us though, that draw was a bleedin` nuisance, contributing as it did to one of the lowest-scoring rounds for a long time.
***TIPSTER of t`WEEK*** award goes to MARK RAYNOR
on 12points, thanks of course to his two correct margins on Friday night.
The Magician also scored 12 points, but since I can`t afford the postage to Dubai, he`ll have to make do with runner-up.
Biggest gainers in this week`s Ladder were Scully13, and also The Magician. Joe Average surprisingly also did quite well....and the Bookies have also found their feet, but this week`s round did nothing whatsoever to help sort out the mid-table congestion.
Maybe next week will be easier!
