What's everyone's predictions for this one?

From a betting point of view, it's hard to imagine the Dons could be backed even if we were getting 20 points start.

The bookies will no doubt be scratching their heads after last Sunday.

... I certainly am ...

Easy to say that that the odds favour the home side, will there be a reaction from the selected seventeen, Gawd knows.

Wishing the players, travelling fans a safe journey

Boas received a one match penalty for a late hit against the Midlands, I presume this rules him out of the Workington game.

Do we know what happened to Brett Ferres? I've had a look on the RFL disciplinary page but the charge isn't listed.

Jemmo has updated on the Midlands thread DM ,no case to answer.

Thanks Wilf. Does the referee have a case to answer then?

Other weekend games:

Hunslet v Dewsbury
N Wales v Cornwall
Rochdale v Midlands

Table:
Dews 15, 29, +390
Huns 14, 22, +243
Work 14, 20, +168
Dons 13, 20, +123
Oldh 14, 19, +208
N Wal 15, 10, +37
Roch 13, 8, -135

Team 1 is promoted, teams 2 to 6 are in the play-offs. Rochdale might overtake N Wales for 6th spot.

Dons can't finish below 5th.

Oldham's remaining games are: Cornwall (A), Rochdale (A), Midlands (H) plus a yet to be arranged game at home to Workington (H).

Workington: Dons (H), Dewsbury (A), Hunslet (H) and Oldham (A).
Hunslet: Dewsbury (H), Rochdale (A), London (H) and Workington (A).

Here's my best guess as to how the table might finish:

1. Dewsbury (champions)
2. Hunslet 28 (lose to Dewsbury, beat Rochdale, London and Workington)
3. Oldham 27 (win all four remaining games: Cornwall, Rochdale, Midlands and Worky)
4. Dons 26 (lose to Dewsbury and Workington, beat N Wales, Cornwall and London)
5. Workington 24 (lose to Dewsbury, Hunslet and Oldham, beat Dons)

It's quite a complicated situation really. I've got Worky to lose to Dewsbury, Hunslet and Oldham but I don't say that with any confidence. We definitely need Dewsbury to beat Hunslet this weekend. If we lose at Worky, we might need Worky to beat Oldham in order for us to finish third... but Worky might then catch us!

If we can beat Worky, things would look a whole lot better....

Finishing fourth or fifth would probably be a nightmare. I hope my assessment is wrong.

Just had a look at Workington's recent results (most recent at the top):

Cornwall 16, Worky 34
N Wales 24, Worky 32
Worky 40, Rochdale 12
Worky 60, Midlands 10
Worky 34, London 6
Worky 54, Cornwall 0
Hunslet 22, Worky 18
Worky 18, Oldham 28
Dons 46, Worky 6

The games they've been winning lately have been against the lesser lights but the 60-10 win over Midlands shows the stark contrast between their form and ours. They only lost by four at Hunslet. Worky looked awful when they play at our place. No doubt they'll want to get revenge on Sunday.

Sunday is a pivotal game for both sides. If we lose, we might be looking at fourth or fifth. If we win, a top three finish could be back on the cards.

I fear the worse (nothing new) if he cant get a reaction of some sorts then it opens up the whole debate again.

I'm sure there'll plenty of changes to the starting 13.

I wonder why Boas is listed in the squad? Does his suspension not come into effect until next weekend?

Does anyone know what's happened to Aaron Ollett? I can't understand why he's not in the squad.
