Hunslet V Dons Sunday 10th September 2023 6pm kick-off : Tue Sep 05, 2023 8:34 am  

There appears to be no streaming of this match which is disappointing.

Maybe the 6pm kick-off pushed them towards the Oldham v N Wales game?

There's nothing on the Dons website to suggest there will be a bus running.

The winner will be at home in the play-off final. The loser will be at home to the winner of the Oldham v N Wales game. The loser of that game will be eliminated.

Any guesses on what the attendance will be at Hunslet? Will it reach 1,000?

376 if it was at the keepmoat! Any calls on the handicap? Think the bookies will react to our recent wins and have us the favourites probably -4pts

A lot of factors for the bookies to consider here ...

Hunslet won their home game against the Dons by a decent score (the Dons victory in the reverse fixture was much closer).

Hunslet have home advantage this time.

I don't think the defeat suffered by Hunslet in their last league game will count for much as they were 99.9% certain to finish second whatever the outcome.

The Dons appear to be hitting form at the right time but still conceded a good few points to a Dewsbury side who's season it could be argued was already over.

That aside, defensively the Dons would seem to have been much improved of late.

Hunslet have had a week off ... good or bad thing?

As I stated out the outset, much to consider.

It wouldn't be a big surprise to me if the bookies just call it scratch (no handicap).

Squad for Sunday: https://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/1518/news-|-21-man-squad-named-for-hunslet-play-off-clash Ross Whitmore replaces Travis Corion. Regarding the bookies, I think they'll find pricing the game up a very serious challenge. Based on our current form, we could perhaps give Hunslet 12 points start, based on the bigger picture especially considering our poor performance at Hunslet, they could be giving us a start! The bookies might well choose scratch but I'm siding towards a Dons win by 12.

I see the other game oldham are -2pts, last week we bullied them and didn't give them a look in but they will be fired up on their own patch and have josh johnson back, our game is too close to call but I'm all over oldham -2pts hopefully it will pay for my hunslet trip later.
