I am not a betting man - just an annual punt on the Grand National - but out of curiosity, I did take a look at Wakey's odds in the build-up to yesterday's game, purely because I was so convinced that Wakey would win. Coral were offering 9/2, which seemed very generous, and I now wish I had put a tenner on it! But anyway, what I really found interesting was that they were offering odds for combinations of try scorers, which heavily featured CTW and Alfie Johnson. It seemed obvious that the bookies had got wind of the Dufty injury and Wire's team selection before they became public knowledge. I am naive in such matters, but I guess that's just how bookies roll? Knowledge is power, and all that.

HKR 11/8
Wire 13/8
Leigh 9/2
Catalan 7/1

-2 HKR v Wigan +2
-12 Saints v Wakefield +12
-12 Wire v Hull +12
+8 Cas v Leigh -8
+10 Giants v Catalan-10

It’s not often you see Wigan +2. 
+8 on Cas.


Considering both teams have had a week off, they look tempting to me. 

Still a long season ahead. but i wonder what the odds were at the start of the season for a Hull KR - FC grand final? It’s not beyond the realms.. 

-12 Wakefield v Castleford +12
+8 Hull v HKR -8
-10 Wigan v Saints +10
-24 Leeds v Giants +24
