We need Paul Cooke to enjoy himself and throw plenty of his trademark very short and very long passes.
We need Craig Fawcett to be adventurous and brave and go for the line himself whenever it looks on. He is the kind of bloke who when he believes in himself can make all the difference to the outcome of games like this.
We need Kesik to be cheeky and try his trademark burrowing tries.
We need a tackling performance of Alamo proportions by all the team. Because London will try to batter us.

We should not forget that we have won twice as many games as the Skolars and they have lost three times as many games as us.

But they have only lost at home to Barrow and Workington and that is impressive.

It's all in the mind to be won or lost. We have the better players, they have to believe that and play for each other as a team and never stop trying.

The rewards are phenomenal if they succeed.
The traveling fans would go bananas!

Cheer the team to victory you lucky lot who can make it.
Never stop singing!

if the Dons turn up.....we win .

by giving up the booze they will turn up no need to worry about that , skolers siz could be there downfall nippy players like fawcett hodson and sanderson will be too quick for em

I think the only thing that can beat us is nerves , we are a much better team than London , concentration from the start, right attitude , the rest should fall into place.

Indeed.

But we are at least the equal of those teams ... the league table tells us that.

Also a look at our away form suggests we should be good enough ... yes we lost to the other three promoted clubs away (but against the lowest placed of those we picked up a bonus point). We have beaten all the other play-off chasers home and away.

London have improved and are dangerous opponents on their own patch but we have the players and the form to complete the job.

COYD!

Defence is key IOM, and we have made really big efforts in that area this year. Fully expect The Skolars to go at it hard in the first 20. Our penalty count has been pretty good this year and that again could be a key area, deny them yardage with easy pens, I guess frustrate them. We do have enough to unlock them and score. As been previously said it will be damned hard and they are a good side on their own pitch. Pressure is on them for that 6th spot as much as it may be on us for the title. Has the makings of a cracker.

You haven't seen the Skolars at home this season I guess!

I know exactly what Donny hkr means, and sometimes would agree with him, but Sunday, I would quite happily take a 1-0 victory for the Dons (I know it probably won't happen like that), Skolars have an excellent home record this season, and whilst I feel we should respect that, at the same time, I hope we come out to show that we aren't top on the back of our fantastic home record, but that we can also do whats required away from home.

Lets hope its a good game, but hopefully, we can do it.

I think the RFL would prefer Skolars to be promoted ahead of Oldham

Neither will be promoted .

indeed... the play-offs has nothing whatsoever to do with promotion this season.
It's time Geoff went to some games and caught up.

Though I have great respect for Skolars' achievements this season, I would be very disappointed if we don't come away with the victory on Sunday. I tend to think that our only enemy will be complacency. I'm sure, with Paul Cooke's experience, that will be guarded against. If I'm honest, I would expect us to win by at least 10. Provided we keep our shape in defence and don't try to give the scoring pass to Lee Waterman in every attack, we will win
