2024 Play-Offs

[rugbylad09]

Most of the divisions have their playoffs ready. 
prem:

Very interesting this year. I expect siddal to beat west hull at home and west hull to fall into the qualifying final. 
As for the eliminations. Hunslet look back to full strength, after a good win against siddal too and I think they’ll be tough to beat, and know how to play the big games. 
Rochdale with potentially 2 home ties to face the loser of WH and Siddal, always a tough place to go. 
prediction: Siddal win, Hunslet 2nd. 

Div1: not set yet but I’d hang my hat on dewsbury moor

div2: Oldham very hit and miss this year, think they win if they’re on it. Celtic vs Oldham final as a guess

div3: distington looked set for automatic promotion but hensingham (a very good young side) pipped them, teams going up to Cumbria is always tough, and with 2 potential home ties, distington should win imo. 
 

what are others thoughts?

Drighlington to be the surprise package in div 3

I'm told the discipline hearing for last week's dismissals are on Wednesday so I guess so players will be missing from the play offs

Think there will be plenty of appeals going in Thursday morning.

My money is on Hunslet to win the GF, they have won 8 in a row including beating Siddal, since McShane has come ban from his ban they are a different side

McShane has only been back for the playoffs, and they beat siddal without him, but can definitely see his quality and makes a huge difference. Be a great game Saturday

Well done to Hunslet, have to be up there as one of the top amateur teams to ever play the game. winning 1 NCL final is no mean feat, never mind 3 on the bounce. Know how to play the big games. 
commiserations siddal, an unbelievably consistent season and a team who will only improve. Hope the full back is okay too, looked extremely serious
 

also well done to the other play off winners from the other divisions
