Yup, must have been around the same time we lost 36-0 at Sheffield.

But why wouldn't you want to make it! Remember Barrow & Fev last season....

Should be an easy win for your lot on current form, by 12 I would say.

York are in very good form. I think that it will be a very close game on what is forecast to be a wet afternoon.  This Bulldogs side is good at winning close games though, so here's hoping.

I would love to make it but will be stuck in the purgatory that is Heathrow Airport, somewhere between terminal 3 and 5!!

As easy as Dewsburys recent visit to the Midlands?

If we are full strength minus Walshaw I wouldn’t wanna pick the team… kear and McGowan to return

Agree on the difficulty of the selection. Who would MacGowan and Kear replace? Is LH up for selection?

 

[phildog]

Hooley apparently available, after the Halifax win and no disgrace in Toulouse I can't say anybody should lose a place but at an outside shot Aiden would replace JC and Kear misses out. We'll be as tight as ever, York will have to be out of their skins to beat us.

[redditchbulldog]

Hooley is available for both semi and final if needed , only injury worry that we saw from Toulouse game was Dale Morton but seemed fine after the game

[Piggy's mate]

I guess we are favorites for this one, which never sits comfortably with us, even when we sit near the top of the table and we're 80 mins from SL last season. Hopefully we can keep our heads and the crowd can gee them on

York 10 Batley 28

Dare to dream...

[Wakefield Ram]

Good luck, really can't see York beating you. Think your GF experience from last season will help.

Are we aware that at 4 o'clock TODAY there is a football match on the pitch? Today's (and for that matter tomorrow's) weather for the North Yorkshire area is regular heavy rain, which bright sparks didn't get together to discuss the scheduling of a football FRIENDLY and an important RL cup semi-final within 18 hours of each other on the same pitch, not to mention the groundwork needed to convert the pitch and obliterate markings?
