The Co-Operative Championship 1


Just one more this weekend from the lower leagues, although I must admit I was slightly tempted with Whitehaven to cover the start at Batley and Featherstone receiving the start at Barrow. In the end though I talked myself out of both as they were just not far enough from my tissue
 
Hunslet v Rochdale

 

24th May 15:00 BST

Hunslet are the division's big improvers this season and I expect them to comfortably get the better of this Rochdale side. Last week they gave a very creditable performance in defeat at Oldham and if they can keep up to that level they are a shoe-in for a play-off berth. Rochdale, themselves, are steadily improving. They performed with credit against Huddersfield in the cup and had a fine win last weekend at home to York. That said, I don't have them at Hunslet's standard especially for a road trip and I think the layers have to a degree over-rated last weekend's performance. Or are they under-rating Hunslet? Either way, I don't agree. My idea of the handicap was 14-16pts and that's for enough away from 10pts for me to be a player.
