Warrington V Castleford.
Despite narrowly squeaking past 12 man Leeds, Warrington should have too much against a Castleford side who turned in a really poor performance against a Salford team who were tipped as potential relegation candidates.
Wigan V Leeds
Perhaps the most difficult one to call this weekend. Wigan blew past Hull K R in week1 whilst Leeds played some great rugby in a losing cause whilst a man down for an hour. If both play to their best I feel Wigan might edge it but it should be close.
Hull FC V St. Helens
Saints should be victorious in this one, they cruised past Catalans in the season opener and whilst Hull held off a spirited Wakefield, it looks doubtful that they have enough to claim the victory here.
Huddersfield V Hull KR
Huddersfield, fresh from a big win in Toulouse will be raring to go again against a KR side who came off second best to Wigan. Whilst Hull KR can always spring a surprise I think that the Giants overall game is too strong at this point in the season.
Catalans Dragons V Wakefield
Catalans are a huge force at home and whilst Wakey can hang tough in games, this should be a banker home win.
Salford V Toulouse
Toulouse as all newly promoted teams, will struggle to avoid an immediate return to the Championship whilst Salford will be looking to build on their unexpected victory at Castleford. Salford should take the spoils here.

The handicaps this week look interesting as well matched in first three or four fixtures.
The thing is by October, the only players left are those nobody else wants and this will always be a problem. when Catalans entered Superleague they were given a 3 year exemption form relegation which enabled them to develop into a strong and competitive club.
Maybe a 12 month exemption for any team promoted into Superleague would help stop the constant yo - yo effect that doesn't help the game. It would at least give the new club a slightly more even playing field.
