Leigh Centurions • Re: Weekly Prediction League?
ROUND TWELVE ROUND UP
All assembled. Glad you made it Atomic. Bongser mistakenly thought he was the last in when he hastily posted a Saturday prediction, so apologies for the lack of PM prompt.
Leeds was interesting! It was only around 9pm on Friday that Bongser saw two very burly doormen outside a certain establishment on Briggate as he finally started to find his bearings on the way home. “So what?” singeth ye in chorus. Well, the only reason for which Bongser found it notable was that the said establishment was a branch of McDonalds!!
Sorry, Sir, I can’t serve you as I think you’ve already 'ad too many mango milk shakes. Now eff orff and bovver KFC!
Polite but “Firm”.
"Wimpy" Bongser returned to Leeds the next day in a “Teflon” vest and didn’t “stick” around for long.
To the summary. Unusual unanimity from The Walkers this week with all nine going for the same seven winners. What’s more Charlie Iscariotoli led us in.
You all know what happened with both The Eagles & Vikings letting us down even before the late KO. So your correspondent will summarize differently by concentrating on the BBQ.
An early McFlurry of tries saw Batley, ‘Fax, HFC (not KFC), Rhinos, Wire & Cats touch down in the first five minutes. Extrapolated that would break the ton. Furthermore, alarm bells ringing for a good few universally punted winners. Rochdale up by two tries in the first ten!!!
Come half time all but The Bulls were following the script. The try count stood at 44 (which projected roundly to 99 for the ten games).
By 57 minutes, The Bulls had gone ahead but Sheffield had fallen behind and The Chemics had been clawed back to parity. Your host had started to gnaw at his singular fingular nail!
Full time in the decent kick-offs and 85 tries on the clock. EVVO was hoping for a no try late game, Wanderer hoping for at least one try (but preferably two and no more), Chayders was set fair and chaysey grinnin’ ‘is fizzog off.
Correct margins in the early matches were collected by Pubbers (in the most important game), Chayders & Vanners (in the Fev victory) and all of Atomic, Chayders (again) and EVVO (in the Bratfud win). Well played to all!!
The (surprisingly) long time leader was, by then, already mathematically doomed to relinquish top spot. This bared Bongser’s battered, bruised, bloodied, black & blue (B&B&B&B&B&B&B) flanges “urbi et orbi”. Speaking of “urbi”, The City has since issued a Prophets warning!
The evening result saw Chazzer playing his first (legitimate) Joker for an extra 5 points amidst a predictable clean sweep for The Nine. Predictable? Nothing is reliably predictable in the WPL! By HT, a further five tries had been scored and Chayders was was home and hosed on the BBQ maximum and with two exact margins already in the bag looked set fair for his second WWB on the bounce.
NEVER let the ball bounce!!
Both Pubbers & Vanners nailed the correct margin for an extra 10 points apiece. Three Leythe forum posters with two correct margins each in the same round. Huzzay! Leythers know
But, in the words of Jimmy Cricket, “Come ‘ere, there’s more.” Both the lattermost posters also presaged the exact scoreline of the late game. Yet another FIFTY points to the brace. Thereby the twain outscored Chayders for the week and the BBQ seemed to take on less significance.
.....Nothing is reliably predictable in the WPL! ....
Both superior posters plumped for a Sunday aggregate of 76 tries (rubbish, miles out the pair of you! ) The point is that first in was Pubbers. Therefore VL (as per the rules on page 61) had to be relegated to the first available number further from actuality. A trifling extra two for Pubbers but that was the straw that broke the ex-pat’s back and, on 101 to Vanners’ 99, Pubbers gets the 25 extra for the WWB. Bravo to him.
SCORES ON DOORS:
The Burger King is dead, short live The Clown!
Chazzer 730 JJj
Bongser 723 j
Pubbers 659 Jj
Donners 641 JJJj (Ashes ruling)
EVVO 641 JJj
Vanners 630 Jj
Zools 593 JJj
Chayders 571 Jj
Tommers 524 Jj
That reminds Bongser. He has naked phalanges rather than flanges! Dashed auto-correct. Sorry if that got any of you hot under the waistband
