Scott Donald's backside which fell out whilst committing the ultimate sin of cowardice on a Rugby League field last night?

Yes I did see that and wasnt happy at the time. We got lucky as having watched it back on sky we knocked on think by Hall and our French friend played on!

He is, and I as I have said all season he is a bottler.

But he also did some very good stuff last night, and as it was a positive night I prefer on this occassion to stick to the positives.

What was this?

I did.. said that to my wife the very moment he did it. he is really scared of getting clattered.

Turned his back, winced and got his backside out of there, one of the most cringeworthy actions I have ever witnessed on a RL field.

And this NRL bottling reject gets a new contract, give me strength!!

For some nobody on southstander to make such strong statements regarding rugby players showing cowardice,and also being an NRL reject to boot


Unless this keyboard warrior has played in the NRL or the SL,then jog on terrace boy

You cock , cowardice ?? please dont confuse bottling a collision with the vile cowardice of the likes of Newton on Long or Nickle on Mears , no comparison fool .

its just about 14:50 into the game, if anyone wants to have a look at the replay. although the sky camera don't do full justice to just how much he bottled it

Yes he shows me it every morning before i go to work.

Is it me or was this (despite the bottling) probably Donalds best game on the right wing this season? Can any of the apologists point out a better one? He's gone right back to 06 form, when we were apparantly wrong to criticise because of 07 and 08.

nice to see keyboard warriors are out in force.such hard men sat pressing buttons

I agree. Like I said above, I have been a critic, but I thought the rest of his game other than the bottling was good, hence why I said to concentrate on the positives.

Shut up.

Just an opinion mate. Donald is lacking confidence big time. He did not bottle anything for the last 2 seasons, but this season he has shirked things more than once. I have bee banging the move him to the left drum all season, however, Hall is playing pretty much as well as Donald has for the last 2 seasons.

Don't steal my lines.

Do one.

Hey big boy, don't put yourself down, I'm sure you're just a powerful, tense, rippling muscle bound god even when you're not behind the keyboard

Wow, that would hurt if it was from anyone else other than you Mr No Life.

Pot and Kettle. Postman Pats Nutsack.

How dare you scold the sheeps messiah

So basically, Donald did what Mark Calderwood spent years doing (remember his failure to drop on a loose ball at Odsal in the playoffs, kicking at it instead and conceding a try?) and now all of a sudden its the most cowardly act ever witnessed on a professional rugby league field?

Welcome back to being the scapegoat Scott. Have a word with Franny at training, he'll be able to tell you what it's like if you've forgotten from your first season already.

I said on this thread I would only look at his positives from the other night.

But I think the comparison you have made is exactly why there is this sort of thread.

Everything good about Calderwood, is what is weak with Donald. i.e. puttin his body on the line to defend, and in an attacking sense chase kicks.

I still thought he played well for the most part on Tuesday though.

Let's be right here, this new improved defensive Mark Calderwood has only arisen in the last couple of years because he's had to find other ways to look good given the lack of running chances he had at Wigan and now Hull.

Hard work from marker apart, I don't recall him cutting too many people in half with his fearless tackling in a Leeds shirt.

Never said he had fearless tackling.

What he did do is chase down kicks extremely well, and on many occassions he got a drop out, or enforced other errors. At the very least he left it so that we were defending as deep into the oppossition half as possible.

That is the complete oppossite of what Donald do us for us now.

Thats all. There is of course parts of Donalds game that is better.
