Horses for courses Mike. Today was a strange one. I hope Zach is fit next week. I don't think he came back on. Ross needs to step up. If they're both available I'd expect them to take it to Keighley. Aside from that the halfback situation is absolutely key. I (again) wait with baited breath the squad announcement.

The play-offs now look like this:

Week One: N Wales v Keighley & Dons v Hunslet (loser is eliminated)

Week Two: Loser of N Wales v Keighley plays Winner of Dons v Hunslet (loser is eliminated)
Week Two: Workington v Winner of N Wales v Keighley (loser gets a second chance)

Shows how big today was. I'm so sad about today. These boys need our total support next week. It's going to be tough.

It will but this current team is back on song IMO, the only thing the young touch judge saw all game was todays difference. Had we have stayed at 13 there is little doubt in my mind we would have prevailed.

I agree with Wilf. I can't imagine we'd have lost had it stayed 13 v 13. The current group of lads have got some fight in them and they'll be up for it against Hunslet.

It's disappointing we haven't got the safety net of knowing we'd have another chance if something did go amiss next Sunday. We'll either be at N Wales or Keighley the following week in another sudden death game.

As Rob says, it shows how big today's game was because we're certainly having to navigate a much tougher route now.
