Sorry, Ian. The idea of adding the above GIF made me laugh. I’ve now moved twelve points ahead with just four rounds left. There’s still a chance that Ian could claw his way back into the fight, but the likelihood of me going back-to-back in this contest increases with each week! There’s an extra match this week, as a result of the rescheduling of the Round Two match between Hull KR and Warrington.

We’re getting straight to the rescheduled game, now, and this is the game I feel the least confident in calling. I’ve gone for a Rovers victory, in part because they’re my team, I can’t lie, but also because I think the home advantage will make all the difference. Couple this with a return for Mikey Lewis, who should have a point to prove after letting his teammates down (again), so you would hope he’ll be itching to be the difference maker. However, I do acknowledge that this factor can indeed go in the opposite direction, and Warrington could well target him. Either way, I can’t see there being more than a try between the two sides.

Sorry Rovers fans, I just can’t see beyond the Wolves for this one. Two evenly matched teams, who had very similar wins to each other last time out, but look back at the last time these two locked horns when Rovers were systematically dismantled by the Wire, and back then, they didn’t have George Williams in their ranks. I think much will depend on the opening quarter, if Warrington make a similar start to the last time they tangled with the Robins, this match like then could be over and done with by half time, however, if Rovers make a strong start they could really test the in-form Wolves, especially on home territory which is part of the reason why I’m predicting a fairly comfortable win for the visitors, as opposed to a blowout which either side are capable of.

Leigh will be riding high on the back of toppling the table-topping Leeds Rhinos last week, and I can’t see their momentum being stopped this weekend by the Bradford Bulls. The Bulls are starting to welcome a few players back into the fold, but the fact remains that Leigh are still a much stronger side, and coupled with the fact that the LSV is a difficult place to visit even at the best of times, I fear it’ll be another hard day at the office for Kurt Haggerty’s men.

Leigh will obviously be bouncing from their gritty win at AMT Headingley, and I can only see this game going one way against the bottom-of-the-table Bulls, although I do believe Kurt Haggerty’s side will make it feel awkward for the home side at some point. Bradford have actually got some bodies back who were able to turn out against Wigan, but inevitably they are chronically short on match fitness, and I expect the explosive pace that the Leopards have at their disposal to cause far too much damage for the Bulls to be able to cope with, particularly after the break.

Next we come to what is arguably the tie of the round in Wigan v Wakefield. If you’d have asked me a few weeks ago how this game would go, I would have told you it would be a toss-up between two evenly-matched sides. Now, however, I fear that the wheels are starting to come off the Wakefield bus, and a visit to Wigan is the very last thing that Daryl Powell’s side needs. I’ve been generous in predicting an 18-point victory for the Warriors, who are capable of much more.

Wigan are looking very ominous at the moment as the season approaches that period when they usually specialise in doing what they need to do. Wakey on the other hand have faltered in recent weeks and potentially hit arguably their lowest point as they were demolished at home by the basket case that is St. Helens, add to that the fact that Wigan have already beaten them twice this season, including a thumping win for the Warriors just after they had been to Wembley and Paris, and you start to get an idea of the size of the task facing the trin.

Following Wakey and Wigan, we have a clash between two clubs with a fair amount of off-field disarray between them; Saints and Castleford. Both teams are coming into this weekend on the back of wins, against all odds, and thus will be hoping to carry on the momentum that they built in their surprise victories last weekend. While it’s been tough to predict which version of either side we’re getting from week-to-week, I think Saints offered the strongest performance in the previous round, and still have a sliver of hope of a top-six berth to play for, so I’m giving the edge to them.

Two very Jekyll and Hyde teams who can be wonderful one week, then dreadful the following week, and both coming into this on the back of seemingly unlikely victories last time out. It has to be said that the Tigers certainly did a job on Saints at the OneBore Stadium, but I hope after their hero’s victory away to Wakefield Trinity, the BrewDog Stadium will feel much more upbeat compared to when I witnessed them getting taken apart the last time they played at home. I just think Saints will have too much for the Tigers this time as long as they stick mostly to what worked so effectively for them at Belle Vue, but given recent history for both teams, don’t be surprised by absolutely anything.

Back to Craven Park we go now, as Hull KR will host Toulouse just four days after their game against Wire (the price a team pays for success, I’m afraid). No matter which way the game on Tuesday goes, Hull KR will need to keep winning if they hope to keep their chances of a home play-off alive. Toulouse have shown signs of fight, but that seems to have faded somewhat, and even against a likely tired Rovers side, I think the French outfit will struggle to get to grips with the game.

This is a potentially intriguing game as the home side play their third game within 10 days against a Toulouse side who can be awful in one game, then exceptionally dangerous in the next. I do expect Rovers to get over the top of the French outfit, but I think they need to make a good start and get points on the board before their visitors launch another of their famous fightbacks, as evidenced recently when they seriously challenged Wigan, before the Warriors put them to the sword. As for what Rovers are going through at the moment, just remember what it was like watching teams over the double-header Easter Weekend and that will give you an idea of what to expect.

Speaking of French teams playing sides from Hull, Saturday also brings us Catalans vs Hull FC. Both are teams who seem impossible to pin down in 2026. Both are capable of flashes of brilliance and awfulness in equal measure. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of fight in Catalans at the moment; they know their season’s over, and a few players have their eyes firmly on the exit door, but with this game being in France, I’m going to give them the edge. I also fear that Ian may cry if I predict Hull to win again.

It’s that time when, yet again, I hope that the last time out was just a blip, but this time I’m also hoping we get one over on our former boss, although I certainly also wouldn’t begrudge him a victory, and no matter what happens, I know he will deal with it as professionally as professionalism will let him. I am also looking forward to the tussle between the two number 9s who will be playing against their future employers, so all round it could be quite spicy and I expect the Black & Whites will have a point to prove after the debacle against Castleford last time out, which could make a big difference.

Warrington have an extra day’s rest before they clash with Huddersfield on Sunday (Rovers play the following Thursday, hence their even shorter turnaround). Huddersfield look to have turned a corner in their results and performances in recent weeks, and have now lifted themselves off the foot of the table at the expense of Bradford. Unfortunately for them, Warrington have more to play for in this game; like Rovers, win or lose on Tuesday, they need as many wins as possible to secure a top-four finish, and I can see them put the rejuvenated Giants to the sword on Sunday.

Same with Warrington as Rovers; just remember those Easter Weekend double headers to have some idea of what to expect. However, I do absolutely expect them to deal with their lowly opposition and get the job done, although it will inevitably be more awkward for them, especially against a resurgent Giants team. Once again, I believe the best chance for the Wolves lies in the start and getting points on the board early in a large enough amount to put the match beyond their visitors; fail to do that, and it could be another victory for the Giants in their quest to leave Bradford rooted to the bottom of the table.

Last, but certainly not least, the Leeds Rhinos travel to the York Knights in the quest for the League Leaders’ Shield. Leeds are going through a bit of a blip in the last few weeks, barely scraping a last-minute victory against Wakefield, then losing to Leigh, but fear not, Leeds fans, I think you’ll be back on track this weekend. The Knights are a tenacious and gritty side, but they also have many defensive weaknesses that a side with the quality that Leeds have should be exploiting. A good win here could calm some nerves heading into the last few weeks.

The Rhinos will have been stung by their first home defeat of the season and are no doubt, as I am writing this, glancing nervously over their shoulders at Wigan, who they only lead on points difference now, with a near cataclysmic meeting coming in a few weeks that could essentially decide the destination of the LLS. However, I do expect Leeds to remain focused and ultimately professional for their visit to the LNER Stadium; they will be scoping for a victim to take their frustrations out on, and unfortunately for the Knights, they are simply the next in their sights. I think York will certainly make them work hard for at least the first quarter, but ultimately Leeds should have too much for them and will probably run away with it towards the end.
