Many thanks for this

Hunslet defended (very well) for much of the first and second half against Keighley.  If they manage to absorb pressure for long periods vs Swinton they the Lions might start to panic (like they did at Mount Pleasant!)...otherwise Swinton should win by a couple of scores

[Hopie]

Hunslet clearly think it is BS they weren't promoted already for winning the playoffs, so they have the same underdog seeking justice mentality they had last week.

[northamptoncougar]

Keighley’s attack last week was literally try go up the middle for 80 mins, to call it one dimensional would be too much credit.

If Swinton keep some semblance of discipline and pass the ball more than 15m wide I think they win by 20 points. 

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

I think Swinton tactics will involve up and unders. Making use of their floodlights.

   Excellent coverage by The Sportsman showing the warm up and supporters of both teams in the ground.Sound beats spots off SKY which seems as though it comes from a telephone box outside the ground at most games.May the best team win.

One way traffic so far this. Speed, strength, energy, all Swinton. 
Which probably means that Hunslet are about to score. Seriously, big gap in class so far.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Good try.

  Agree Swinton look much stronger and the 12 points i said they would win by looks like being a very conservative observation.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Abram blew that. His Dad would have scored it

[Fevrover]

That's better from Hunslet, good try.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Good try from the boy on loan from Oldham.

[Wakefield Ram]

Referee fails to penalise Swinton player for putting knees in on the try scorer. 

[Yorks Tim]

Hunslet very much still in it at half time

Yes, thought we had 8-point tries for things like that.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Fair play to Hunslet getting within 4 points of Swinton. Good effort. All to play for.

That was bad. He was very late. Could have really hurt the lad.

Quite obvious too, and the touch judge on the far side was in a perfect position to see it as well.

  I thought it could be a 8 pointer not dangerous but the try was scored no need to follow through.

[JohnM]

Hunslet taking  command. Winning 16 - 10 now, kick to come 49 mins.

[DoubleD]

Hunslet turning it around in 2nd half with 2 quick converted tries.

Be interesting to see if Flanagan Jr gets any game time with the Giants next year. Could be a good impact player off the bench

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Credit Hunslet. They looked out of it. Long way to go yet. Loving this.

[StandOffHalf]

Flanagan over from dummy-half!

A big turnaround.

[johnh1]

And Swinton score. Cracking game.

[Yorky]

Incredible. First 20 mins Swinton looked a level above, making yards easily and it just looked a matter of time until they increased their lead.

Hunslet just keep digging deep and now really stepping it up

 

Great game
