Seriously think with how we will be going into the game compared with dewsbury's plus the new signings a positive result will happen, I'm already intrigued into how the bookies will mark the game up (my guess is dons +6 ish). I was on us -38pts Sunday and hoping they will give us a reasonably generous start for this Sunday.

Sunday 27th August: Cornwall v Rochdale
Sunday 27th August: N Wales v London
Sunday 27th August: Dons v Dewsbury
Sunday 27th August: Oldham v Midlands
Sunday 27th August: Workington v Hunslet
=#FF0000[uTable:[/u
1. Dewsbury 17, 31, Champions
2. Hunslet 17, 28, +300
3. Dons 17, 26, +240
4. Oldham 16, 23, +264
5. Workington 16, 20, +135
6. N Wales 17, 12, +41
7. Rochdale 16, 10, -137
=#0000FF[uDons to finish second:[/u We must beat Dewsbury & Hunslet must lose at Workington. There must also be a 61 point gain for the Dons in points difference. For example, if the Dons won by 40, Hunslet would need to lose by 21 or more. [iThis is an example, not an expectation! [/i
=#008000[uDons to finish third:[/u We will be third if we beat Dewsbury. Points difference won't matter. Oldham can't catch us.
If we lose to Dewsbury, Oldham must drop two points in their last two matches. If they draw against Workington but beat Midlands, the Dons and Oldham will have 26 points but Oldham will have the better points difference.
=#804080[uDons to finish fourth:[/u We lose to Dewsbury and Oldham get three points from their last two games.
Basically, if Oldham lose to Workington on Wednesday, they can't catch us. If they win or draw, everything roles on to Sunday.
If Worky don't beat Oldham then Worky have nothing to play for against Hunslet on Sunday. Worky will finish fifth.
[u=#00FF00Last Play-off place:[/u N Wales and Rochdale are fighting it out for the last play-off place. This might well come down to points difference. N Wales seem to have the upper hand on that front but Rochdale are playing London & Cornwall. It does seem rather silly that a team can reach the play-offs with just seven wins in 18 matches.
=#0040BF
My best guess for the Dons' finishing position: Second Place 2%, Third Place 51%, Fourth Place 47%.
I'm basing that primarily on the fact that Dewsbury might be in party spirit and give us a better chance than we might otherwise have. I don't think Oldham are a gimme against Worky as they had a tough game at Rochdale whilst Workington had the weekend off.
What does everyone else think? Are we more likely to be third than fourth?'"
We only have to make up 60 points to go above Hunslet. So GAME ON!
(Our points scored would be better than Hunslets in the event of points difference being a tie. Unless Hunslet score lose but score a boat loads. For example of we win 30 - 0 and Hunslet lose 31-61 theyd stay above us) |

I'm having trouble with the 'quote' button - it gives me a blank screen - but with reference to Geoff's post, I can't see the RFL allowing the season to be extended for this match. I reckon they'll make it 48-0 to Rochdale as seems to the precedent when teams can't fulfil a fixture.

The quote button was broke yesterday, but seems fixed now.
I think the RFL will give the points to Rochdale but it;s not as straight forward as our game with West Wales. If I were London I would be saying "we were available and could field a team when the game was originally supposed to be played but Rochdale called it off" |

Thanks for the info on the quote button, Jemmo.
Was the original game called off because of a waterlogged pitch?
In the great scheme of things, the RFL decision won't be critical as it looks like N Wales will get the last play-off place anyway when they beat London on Sunday. |

Yes it was waterlogged, I agree it won't really make a difference which makes it easier

If given the points, London could say they didn't go through a whole season without win though! 
London really seem to be going backwards, don't they? I do fear somewhat for their future. |
