Crusaders v Salford (+8)

This is a tough one as Crusaders must win if they want to make the play-offs while Salford seem to lack ideas when they get in the opposition half although their form has been quite good.

I think that we should go with the home team and the team who have the stakes a hit higher at the moment - take Crusaders to win and cover the start.

Bradford v Catalans (+6)

Bradford have been diabolical and you just wonder where their next win is coming from at the moment.

Catalans beat Warrington last week and are starting to come into some form but I am just not sure which way to go here.

On form, Bradford will concede a lot of points but at home they will surely try to get some pride and determined not to concede as many tries.

So I am going to go for Catalans having an off day travelling away after a big win and Bradford to perhaps play a bit better.

But anyone going with the Bulls is brave!

Huddersfield v Wakefield (+12)

Huddersfield were pretty impressive last week while Wakefield are a Jekyll and Hyde team.

John Kear has come out and said that Wakefield have to put in a performance this week and I think they can rise to the challenge when it is required.

They get a decent start away from home and their season will be finished if they can't win this week.

I will take the Wildcats then as the Giants can struggle to put performances together consistently.

Hull KR v Castleford (+12)

Hull KR are good at home while Cas have been one of the form teams over the last month.

I think the home side will hit back here again and are probably one of the better teams in Super League on their own patch.

Cas can score points but can also concede and Michael Dobson's kicking game will make them work a lot from their own end of the field.

Hull KR to win and cover the start.
