If we can defend as well as we did against Swinton (played at Featherstone) we're not out of this. If Swinton can beat them, so can we. On the balance of form from the other matches, our chances don't quite look as good. For example, they lost by 10 to York, we lost by 27.
Bookmakers forecast: Dons to get 14 points start.
The bookies didn't give us the points start I anticipated against York last time out. I think they might do similar this time. Personally, I think the line should be nearer to 18 or 20. We'll see...
