In the Free Press, Peter Green said that Frankie Mariano would be starting on the bench.

Good

No Rob, RH has already inducted Douglas and not played him. So I wouldn't rule him out. I haven't ruled anyone out, just saying it would be unusual.

He will probably drop Bastas since he has never been on a losing side.

Or he could have by now. Am losing interest in what RH does.

Still interested in what the lads do though.

Dons -16 10/11 with Skybet.

Bet365 go -14 @ 5/6 currently.

I'm hopeful that if we can get on top of them down the middle early on, we could put a few points on them.



After so many recent defeats, London's confidence isn't going to be very high - the longer they're in the game, the more of a threat they may become.



A quick and efficient first 20 minutes from the Dons should get London on the back foot.

Bet365 now in line with Skybet ... Dons -16 @ 10/11.

Hunslet won at Keighley yesterday 32-10.



We really don't want Oldham to beat Newcastle today!

Totally agree. I'd go as far as saying 1st 10 minutes will set tone of the game

They won't. Oldham are ordinary

I agree, Rob. From what we saw of Oldham at the Keepmoat earlier in the season they are ordinary but do you know, I can't believe they're quite as bad as they looked that day. They've got a points diff of +222, ours is +218.



Newcastle have plenty to play for so there's no likelihood of them taking their foot off the gas. Surprises happen though. I just hope one doesn't happen at Oldham today. We need them to lose today, and lose against us at their place so we can jump above them!

It's nice to dream ...
