Sun 10th Sept: The Betfred League One Play-Offs Thread

[John Drake]

Discuss this weekend's Betfred League One Play-offs here.

SUNDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER

Betfred League One Qualifying semi-final
Hunslet v Doncaster KO 18:00

Betfred League One Elimination semi-final
Oldham v North Wales Crusaders KO 15:00 at Boundary Park

[Dovster]

Dons and Oldham to win.

[Rene_Artois]

After last week I feel as long as the Dons play it simply. Control position, kick well etc. We'll be very hard to beat. The TV commentary was all about our go forward from the middles and the wingers. Greg Burns and Connor Robinson were the best 2 players on that pitch.

[gogledd]

Dons played really well last weekend and will continue in good form to beat Hunslet.

North Wales Crusaders had a fantastic second half last weekend. Can we do it again? I'm putting us down to win by 4 points.

[Yorks Tim]

I think Crusaders will beat Oldham, going by last week's performances.

Not sure about Hunslet but think Doncaster might just be going all the way this year.

Doncaster and Crusaders

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Yeds at home, will have something to prove. There is no way they can play as poor as last week. Yeds by three tries and a drop 

[Barley Mow]

Hunslet v Doncaster - by 4
Oldham v North Wales Crusaders - by 12

Hunslet and Crusaders.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

It's occurred to me that the promotion playoff final could be between Hunslet and the Cru, two teams that are least likely to be able to cope with Championship rugby. At least the winner wouldn't be in League 1 when whatever the IMG plan is kicks in.

Oldham v NWC is being live streamed on the Sportsman.

 

[Yorks Tim]

Anyone know if there is video coverage of the other game?

I’ve not seen any indication anywhere Tim.

Not great on the sportsman, the camera angles are out of sync.

I don't think so, but the BBC website says that it will be covered on Radio Leeds.

For my sins I didn’t know Oldham were back at OAFC is this a permanent move? Can only be good if so

Yes, permanent from next season onwards, long term lease.

Some very poor refereeing so far, Ah Van try looked fine and that wasn't offside against Crusaders as far as I could see.

I have no problem Yedder, got it on my tablet and screening it on a 65" TV.

Missed the first 16 mins, but enjoyed it so far and I was thinking what a good game the ref was having.

Was only an issue for the first couple of minutes to be fair.

[RoughyedsFan_merged]

Not sure what the difference was between Pagas non try and the Crusaders try there, with a bizarre high tackle call in between them...

[Futtocks]

Matt Fletcher barges through to make it 12 all with Hayes' conversion.

Game totally on.

Two blatant tries ruled out for Oldham now.

[Phil]

Oldham number six needs to shut up and concentrate on playing
