The Dons can afford to lose this game by up to 60 points and still retain third spot!

We'll almost certainly then be at home to Workington in the play-off semi-final. Workington can be caught if Whitehaven won at York and we beat Workington but Workington would almost certainly still have a better points difference.

I think the semi-finals will be played on Sunday 30th September but I've not seen anything to officially confirm that. The Bradford chairman mentioned this date in Rugby League Backchat last week.

If Oldham win at London in their last game, they'll be away to Bradford in the other semi-final.

Should be a hard test , hope we have a few players back . Probably be without Hedges due to suspension.

COYD

think we will need England Beharrell back along with a few hull lads Miloudi and Logan make a difference i think.
Think we missed Beharrell a bit today but good to see Crossy back.
There are a few thinks in there i think. LOL.

Bower out with a broken thumb,

Miloudi will be back.Dont know yet about Logan

Logan is on loan so should be back assuming he isn't injured.

I figured he wasn't used as he is more suited to a wider pitch.

The minimum loan period is 4 weeks which I am guessing has passed so Hull could recall him now.

If we can get past the first play off game v Workington Hulls season will have finished and we could, in theory, have access to all the eligible players

Just read on the clubs website that England and Beharrell were rested so they should be back.

Glad, there is no coincidence that the run we have been on has coincided with Beherrel joining the club (joined 10 games ago, we lost narrowly at York then put a run of 9 together) and England has been exceptional all year.

Awfully brave to leave them out though

I think the decision reflects how much more confidence the coach has now in his squad, and how the run of games has allowed the squad to grow in its self. Despite one or two comments from the Crusader fans we were never in danger (my opinion) on Sunday despite how well NWC played in parts.

My main concern for this game is the potential for injuries. I'm sure that will be the case for both sides, could well be interesting regarding selections.

Agree with the squad as a whole doing well. Personally I was watching on the app and it was one of the few times I have seen Boyle make meters in contact this season and I personally think Muranka had the best game I have ever seen him play.

My point being even the players who I would not normally consider as our stars are stepping up and showing up well. Long may it continue.

Charlie Martins games on Sunday encapsulated the squads spirit for me. Not played for a few weeks yet IMO he was not far off MOM. Its good to see.
