Dons v Rochdale Sunday 11th June 2023 3pm : Thu Jun 08, 2023 8:17 am  

A game we should win but nothing can ever be taken for granted. The Dons have signed Josh Guzdek on loan from the Eagles - presumably to cover at full-back. https://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/1439/news-|-josh-guzdek-joins-the-dons-on-loan

Squad for Sunday: Elliot Hall and Jack Sanderson are missing. I presume Guzdek to full-back and Misi in at centre? https://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/1444/news-|-squad-announced-for-rochdale-game

You speedy Wanderer... you just beat me to it!

That's 48 points to the good for their points difference. They're 80 better than us at the moment. A nice 81 point win for us tomorrow will do no harm!

How many start will the bookies be giving Rochdale? Here's a crude way of looking at it...

Both teams have played nine games. Dons points diff is +146, Rochdale's is - 35. Adding them together gives an advantage of 181 to the Dons. Divide that by 9 and you get 20. How close will this be to the bookies' handicap? I reckon I'd go 26.

Rochdale lost 56-16 at Oldham and 36-18 at Hunslet.

It'd be nice if we could better Oldham's effort... or even match it!

If the Dons handicap is less than 20 I'd be a player. I suspect you are in the right area, probably 24 or 26.

Not able to with Skybet ... after a few decent wins a few years ago, the maximum I'm allowed to win on any bet involving the Dons is £10. So they'd allow £11 to win £10 on the handicap and £80 to win £10 on the win.

Just off to check Bet365's odds.

Good stuff... good luck!
The bookies messed me about in the 2000s and restricted me to silly amounts. I only bet on the exchanges these days but they don't have markets for our leagues, sadly.

If we can't beat Rochdale by more than 16, we're going to be underdogs when we play Oldham.
