Super League's second round build up.

St Helens V Warrington
Undoubtably the tie of the round. While Saints may have lost last week I doubt they will take this game as lightly and I predict a solid comfortable win for them. This is coming from a Warrington fan who witnessed a half decent performance last week against a wounded Hull team. However I don't think we will have the performance within ourselves to pull it off. If Warrington are going to win tonight it will be because Saints are going to have a slow start to the season.

Wakefield V Leeds
Wakefield's shock win last week could extend into a second if (and I cannot stress this point enough) Leeds are starting to put one eye firmly on their World Club Challenge match against Melbourne. They proved last week that they are focused on their Super League games but it is human instict to focus on bigger things. With the match only two weeks away, could the players be worried about injury or suspention?

Wigan V Castleford
Wigan will win unless Castleford can improve on their error filled performance last week. While they may have been given the shakes by Quins, Wigan showed in the scoreline they can urn it on when needed. Cas will struggle tonight because Wigan have too much to prove to their home fans.

Bradford V Huddersfield
Speaking of having something to prove to their fan base, Bradford should expect a hostile reception when they walk out tomorrow. Their loss to Wakefield was without a doubt a disappointment but they should re-group and perform their magic. Huddersfield will push them though and possibly expect a tight finish.

Catalan V Hull KR
I'm going for a Catalan win. Firstly because its in France and secondly because Hull KR will not repeat the show they put on to host Saints. In fact, if I'm honest I should be tiping a Hull KR win because that display was superb and Catalan were poor against Cas. But then again Hull KR only just fought off a Saints comeback. I will go Catalan to win, but only because of home advantage and their record at home last season.

Hull FC V Harlequins
With Gareth Carvell another player seeing Dr Fish at the Royal Squid Hospital of Kingston upon Hull, his side are dropping worse than fish is Shrek's bathtub. However the return of Gareth Raynor is a plus for Peter Sharp who should be feeling the pressure from the inpatient board of directors who fail to understand that you cannot possibly win in Super League with so many injured bodies in the ranks. I expect Sharp to go because of this in less than five weeks time.
