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

I also hope we dont waste good chances with a view to getting Lee another try, whilst we had the game won against Wales, 2 potential tries went begging for that reason.

London are the most improved side this season, but we didn't bring in the likes of Cooke etc to not win,...with the amount of players we have signed on for next season, this team not only needs to beat London but a hell of lot more clubs next season who will be far better equipped.....

PS if Worky finish 3rd who do they play in play offs? As read in papers last week they did not want to play us at our place....

PPS where is the play off final held this season?

If Workington finish 3rd they'll play whomever finished 6th at home, then the winner of 4th v 5th at home, then the loser of 1st v 2nd Away (assuming they keep winning)

Warrington again IIRC

You do recall correctly, it's at the HJ again.

well after 9 trips to donny,3 to cumbria,2 to wales,2 to lancs ,1to gateshead, (more miles than olympic torch i reckon) our league campaign comes to an end in the capitol, heres hoping for a happy ending, give it to them lads coyd
