Not a bad first week with a couple of nice winners in the St Helens v Leeds game, with Dayon Sambou and Matty Ashton both crossing the whitewash at 15/8 and 13/8 respectively.

Super League: Round 6
Castleford v Hull FC (Thursday)

Innes Senior 8/5 2U
Herman Ese Ese 13/5 1U
Amir Borough 6/1 0.25U
Lewis Martin 11/10 2U

I’m keeping things relatively simple with my first selection by opting for everyone’s favourite winger, Innes Senior (8/5).

Despite Cas’ obvious problems, namely a weak pack and lack of muscle, they do execute the classic block play reasonably well, meaning the wingers get the ball in their hands often enough to make this a decent bet.

The aforementioned weak pack leads me on to my next selection, Herman Ese Ese (13/5). The Hermanator is on some run, scoring in each of his last 3 games, and the price has shortened up considerably as a result.

However, after seeing the ease in which Tevita Pangai Junior strolled through from close range for Catalans last weekend, I’m gonna back Herman to keep up his prolific form. Following the theory that Cas are susceptible to a big man barging over, I am also having a small play on Amir Borough (6/1).

Amir isn’t an overly big man himself, but he may well benefit from the additional space afforded to him as the Cas pack will surely look to get additional numbers on the likes of Ese Ese.

Finally, I’m taking Lewis Martin (11/10). Not much to say other than the price is fair enough, conditions appear to be good, and he’s playing on the outside of a seemingly effective edge.

Super League: Round 5
Wakefield v Hull FC (Friday)

Tom Briscoe (15/8) 1 unit
Aidan Sezer (4/1) 0.5 unit
Caleb Hamlin-Uele (9/1) 0.5 unit

It’s easy to make a case for all wingers playing in this game given both teams have shown some nice attacking shape in the first few weeks of the season - with both teams also not being the most resolute defensively.

We can’t just back all the wingers every game, as fun as that might, so I’m going to go with the best priced one, which is Tom Briscoe (15/8). Due to the injury to Harvey Barron, Briscoe is likely to be playing on the right wing and he still has strong finishing ability - even at 35 years old. However, I would recommend keeping an eye out for team news and looking to cash out if he is named in the centres, as this price would not be backable if this was to be the case.

The Wakefield wingers, Tom Johnstone and either Matty Russell or Lachlan Walmsley aren’t terrible bets, but with the loss of the instrumental Max Jowitt at full back, I’ll take my chances elsewhere.

For something at a slightly larger price, I am going to go with Aidan Sezer (4/1) and Caleb Hamlin-Uele (9/1). Sezer hasn’t scored yet this season but he has shown willingness to take the line on, and he runs with intensity when he does so.

Hamlin-Uele is still a relative unknown, however, he looks to be a big lump, but with a certain degree of mobility - and at 9/1 I’m happy to take my chances.
