Sun 3rd Oct : BetFred League 1 Play Off Eliminator : Keighley Cougars v Doncaster RLFC KO 15:00

[Old Frightful]

Discuss the BetFred Play Off Eliminator between Keighley Cougars and Doncaster RLFC here.

[DavidM]

Either keighley or doncaster , could go either way 

[clwydianrange]

I’ve watched both of them this season and there’s nowt between them, then again you could say that for the top five. I’ve just tossed a coin and it came down for Donny.

It sounds trite but but it really does seem as though who turns up on the day will win it.

Keighley at home is an advantage but I fancy Doncaster to shade it.

A war of attrition will help Workington next week.

 

[gogledd]

Keighley for me....just.

Home advantage and the Cougars coach will have watch how Crusaders came back at them in Colwyn Bay.

It'll be close - could even go to Golden Point.

Hopefully for an hour

Yes - see this list Rugby League on TV

I'm leaning slightly towards Doncaster based on what I saw on Sunday. Expecting both sides to have their chance of winning it though.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Depends on whether Donny can avoid the nasty attack of the wobblies that happened against us last week, either way I'll go for Keighley if only because my paternal grandmother's family came from those parts.

[Johnny Ringo]

Start of the season I predicted Keighley and Barrow to go up. It still feels a likely outcome. Doncaster let too many second half trys in last week and the Cougars won the second half at Workington.

So I'll say Cougars 34-18 Donny 

[Callum Linford 98]

Keighley by 4 then Town by 7 in the final

[snoopdog]

Doncaster by 16

[Angelic Cynic]

I think these are the squads - COUGARS: Agoro; Bailey; Coventry; Desmond-Walker; Feather; Gaylor; Graham; Kesik; P Laulu-Togaga’e; Levy; Lynam; Mika; Miller; Murrell; Parker; Prell; Santi; Slingsby; Stephenson; Webster; Wright.

DONCASTER: Beharrell; Boyle; Braham; Bravo; Cockayne; Douglas; Foster; Greensmith; Halliday; Holdstock; Johnson; Johnston; Ollett-Hobson; Peltier; Smeaton; Sweeting; Tali; Taulapapa; Tindall; Whitmore; York.

More than one change from the previous meeting - and a number of the players against their previous club.

Discipline could play a part...

Ah, you have read it in correctly, What I meant was Donny were poor second half and Cougars have been good second half which is why I based my prediction for their clash this week. I should have used a separate paragraph.

Keighley 12-0 up after 13 minutes. Bit of luck for the first try, with the referee awarding a knock-on that clearly didn't touch the hands of the Doncaster player. Sizeable crowd at Keighley.

[gogledd]

Keighley bossing the game.

[JonM]

Two short-range tries under the posts for Doncaster make it 12-12 after 25 minutes. Good game so far.

[paulwalker71]

14-12 to Keighley at half-time

Entertaining game so far

[gogledd]

Try: Cougars 20 - 12
