Super League: Round 1 - Wigan Warriors vs Warrington Wolves

Wigan Warriors vs Warrington Wolves (+6/10pts)

The long wait is over; my first rugby league bet of 2007....let's hope it's a good one.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet...

I have to fancy Warrington with a 10pt start. Last year their strike rate of staying within a (+) handicap was exceptional (+80%) and think it will be more of the same this time round. They have recruited well (Morley, Anderson and Johnson) and seem to have a stronger depth to the squad, a factor they have previously missed.

These two sides have probably received the most hype regarding their SL chances in pre season, I just cant see either team pulling away and winning by double figures.

As I look out of my office window one thing is clear, the weather conditions this evening will prove a leveler, therefore I can't see there being many points (teams opting for the 2pts instead of the 4/6) so I'll have a dabble on the unders as well.

Let the battle commence....

Recommendations - Warrington +10pts @ paddypower 1.72 (1pt)
Recommendations - Under 44.5pts @ betfair 1.71 (1pt)
Prediction - Wigan 18 v Warringon 16
(Scale 1-5)
