Fixtures 17th

[SomecrapbackfromWestYorks]

Doncaster V Moortown = Moortown to have some fun and acore a fair few.

Old Brods V Salem = Salem to grind out a tough one on the slope.

Scarborough V Old Crocs = Routine win for Scarbados

Wetherby V Morley = Backing Morley.

Pontefract V M&N = very close match and going for a close Malton victory

Selby V Pocklington = Potential MOTD, close Pock win.

[Oldandslow]

Donny P v Moortown – Moortown win but not by many.

Old Brods v Salem – Bonus point win for Brods.

Scarborough v Old Crocs – Bonus point win for Scarborough.

Wetherby v Morley – Very close game but just a win for Morley.

Pontefract v M&N – Home advantage to give Ponte a win.

Selby v Pocklington – Pockington bonus point win

[PocknRoll]

Doncaster P v Moortown - BP win for Town here.

Old Brods v Salem - I reckon both teams will be well up for this and I think Salem will win a close, physical game.

Scarborough v Old Crocs - BP win for Scarborough.

Ponte v M&N - Don't think there will be much in this, Malton win.

Selby v Pock - Hope it's as good a game as the return fixture earlier in the season, which was the best game I've watched this year, both sides going for it with some big collisions and excellent attacking rugby, Pock to win a close  contest.

*edit  - missed a game


Wetherby v Morley - Morley bonus point win, especially if Wetherby are still suffering injuries.

Guessing you are a yet to make a decision on Wetherby vs Morley PNR.

Doncaster Phoenix vs Moortown - Bonus point win for the Moortown Men who will look to get into the play off discussions.

Old Brodleians vs Salem - a tricky game to call. Old Brodleians to win with a bonus point but expect Salem to come away with one or two points. Brods -7.

Wetherby vs Morley - I think Morley will look to kick on and make a late charge on Pocklington and Scarborough. Morley +7.

Scarborough vs Old Crossleyans - Scarborough must be due a tough run of fixtures as they seem to be bonus point favourites every week. Scarborough +7.

Pontefract vs Malton and Norton - gritty contest and Pontefract might have a few away with rugby league this week. Malton +7.

Selby vs Pocklington - don't think there can be any debate over MOTD. Selby won't need to get their talented squad up for this one and it should be a real contest of a game. I hear Pocklington are a little one dimensional but it is a hard beast to stop. Maybe Selby can de-rail the juggernaut and get a win but just think they'll fall short. Pocklington -7.

Thanks for the heads up FS 👍

Doncaster V Moortown = Presumably Donny haven't found a load of players? Therefore Moortown BP win.

Old Brods V Salem = Tough one to call here. Really it should be Brods all day long. Something tells me Salem might cause an upset but I'm going to stick to Brods to win at home.

Scarborough V Old Crocs = On paper home advantage should be enough but Scarborough never play well when they are favourites. Closer than some have predicted.

Wetherby V Morley = Wetherby will be looking to kickstart the 2nd half of their season- Morley will want to start a push for the top. I think a bit of home pride will sneak it for wetherby.

Pontefract V M&N = very close match indeed. Ponte haven't really got going this season. Malton seem to get important wins to keep them out of the relegation zone. If I'm not sure I go for the home team. So Ponte by a whisker.

Selby V Pocklington = Selby can be good at home if they get going but I think Pock probably be too strong for them up front. BP win for Pock.

[Crocadoodledo]

Donny V Moortown - Don't think it'll reach 100 this week but maybe in weeks to come. Moortown +7

Brods V $alem - Brods notoriously poor in January. Salem +7

Scarbados V Crocs - Agree with BRB that it could be closer than some suggest, however struggle to see anything more than 1 point for crocs. Scabs -7

Wetherby V Morley - Should be a good tight game. DRAW

Ponte V M&N - If Ponte have got a few lads back since we made the trip over then they should win this. Ponte +7

Selby V Pock - Pock struggled a bit before xmas and Selby never an easy place to go. Selby -7

[Pumba]

Donny V Moortown - Its been a tough road for Donny and I cannot see anything other than a Town win. Town BP Win

Brods V $alem - I'm not sure Salem have enough to beat Brods on the Hill. Brods BP Win

Scarbados V Crocs - Scabs to continue their run to promotion with a BP Win.

Wetherby V Morley - Not much to split these 2 in league stats so MOTD but I suspect a Morley win no BP.

Ponte V M&N - 1 Point splits these 2 in the league so i think it will be a tight contest I'm going for a draw.

Selby V Pock - Can Pock get back to how they started their season away from home? should be a good game but going for a selby win no BP.

Donny v Town - Easy 5 points for Town.

Brods vs Salem - Real dick swinging competition this one. I think that Brods will have too much.

Scarbs vs Crocs - Expect Crocs to put up a fight, but Scarbs to run away with it in the 2nd half.

Wetherby Vs Morley - Notoriously a close game. It may be settled by a mistake or from the tee. Wetherby, just.

Ponte vs Malton - Nice match up, but the away side take it for me.

Selby vs Pock - Tough to call, I think Pock might just sneak it.

       the "Notoriously tough" game must have been garnered in the last 12 months as six seasons ago there was six leagues between the (to be much credited Wetherby with a well deserved vertical rise and a, whist not as far, somewhat a fall from grace for the once Mighty Morley. How the leagues have given some progressive Junior clubs" the opportunity to rise up and contest with teams that were completely out of reach previously. Tomorrow we host Waterloo which is a prime example imo.

[BigBadWolf69]

Thanks Flaggy. Yes referring to the last 3 times they've played. Been a score in it. With neither team actually winning their home game.

[Forty Twenty]

Donny v Town - Town by a lot.

Brods v $alem - Brods to make full advantage of the hill and see this one through. Brods -7

Scarborough v Crocs - Scabs to kick on and put a bit of daylight at the top. Scarborough +7

Wetherby v Morley - Morley will be keen to carry on chasing after Scarborough in the new year and they will keep on the pressure this week. Too much for wetherby. Morley +7

Ponte vs Malton - Malton seem to keep pulling results out when they need against the competition in the bottom half of the table, the Orcs will want to pick something up here though. Draw

Selby v Pock - MOtd for me. Selby at home are generally a formidable outfit and the pock wobble before Christmas will have night them back down to earth. I'm going 3 points in it with a selby breakaway try at the end to snatch it for them. Selby -7

Time might be passing you by quicker than you think. 6 seasons ago Wetherby were Y2 (Level 9) and Morley were N1E (Level 6).

16 seasons ago Wetherby were Y6 (Level 13) and Morley were Nat 3 (Level 5)

Good match at Silver Royd yesterday and the score probably didn't reflect how competitive Crocs were. Despite the score, their defence and willingness to compete for the ball we're good. They just lacked a bit in attack on the day.

In regards to the other results, the Selby result was a surprise. Not so much that they won (as they are very competitive especially at home) more the size of the victory. Were Pock missing some or was it just a fair reflection.

Malton edged another close one.

More just got past wetherby.

Scarborough have Morley away and then Pock away in the next two weeks so the league could be turned upside down again. Especially as next week was a blank weekend so availability is massively disrupted, no doubt the same for all clubs.
