I usually look forward to and enjoy our matches against Lids but I'm not expecting this Sunday to be a pleasant experience and quite frankly anything less than a drubbing will surprise me. The dross we've been subjected to recently is unacceptable and the dramatic decline in the teams performance shows no sign of improving. At the moment it looks like we're a rudderless ship sinking fast and nobody has a clue how to fix it. As a result the players confidence is rock bottom and from the stands it looks as though they're resigned to that fact and if nobody else is apparently bothered then why should they be






I go to the match on Sunday desperately hoping that

a) Anderson stands up and shows who's captain of the "good ship Fartown". He coaches,selects and inspires a side capable of turning up, putting in the effort and turning our form around. A team that is capable of performing not only as individuals but as a "team" and one that can get back to winning ways and playing like we did during the early season ?
b) The players selected turn up, pull on the shirt, get out on the field, stand up and be counted, do themselves justice and restore some of the pride back into the team, which has been sadly lacking in some of our recent performances.
c) We can actually stop dropping the ball, giving silly penalties away and start tackling again instead of some of the "touch rugby" defence we've seen recently
d) We can be competitive in a game for the full 80 mins

Time for action on the field now, not "throw away" articles in the Examiner

I will attend in hope that even if we lose our performance shows a marked improvement, and a little bit of pride is restored in the famous "claret and gold" shirt

Roll on next season

Broughy. LOD, Fooey and Jerry ? back. That is quality AND players who really make an effort!

If we can have a really competitive effort + no injuries then we can go to Hull with at least a chance of progressing.

Agreed.

cant believe it i agree with you cripes, nice to see some positivity on these boards for once.

erm............not sure really, cant decide if i am or not - i dont think i am but come friday night i probably will as i look forward to my rugby greatly, if not the idea of a massive hammering then the social side of it !

worth going just to see ed clancy and his gold medals, lets hope he inspires our players to perform.

I'm looking forward to Sunday - I've ripped my last season ticket up and I'm going out for a meal with my family instead. It'll probably cost me the price of next seasons season ticket but WTF, I deserve a good time on a Sunday after all the crap I've had to endure over the last 3 months.

I'll be back at the KC for the play offs next week filled with new optimism.

Cant say i am to be honest as SG says though a decent perfomance regardless or result might,just might give us a bit of confidence to take to hull,and may entice some of the stayways to go over. Although i fear another horror show and yet again we show how not to play basic rugby league.

i am looking forward to sunday but only cos its rugby! dont think we will win, partner asked abt following week at Hull and i said no way, She is Hudds girl i am Doncaster, she can do what she wants but i will be at the Doncaster Barrow play off game to watch some passion.

I thought donny were already up as champions? Why the play off game then?

Top 4 are up, the other 2 teams in the play offs are basically just trying to get the 20k the winners get.

There,s a deal on this Sunday 2 adults 2 kids and a free shirt £20
recruted my 4

Got to say not really looking forward right much to this game now following recent performances.Hope springs eternal though.

Maybe our lads should start a brawl,get themselves and the crowd fired up.Nowt much to lose,it would just go on report,and the season is as good as over barring a miracle swing in form.

I'm sure also that the likes of Peacock,Delaney & Bailey would also be well up for a bit of biff.

bailey and crantree got tasty last season if i remember!

mason? oh dear his spells red cards!

im looking forward to this one...local derby v leeds, should be a decent gate too

giants welcoming back the likes of mcgillvary, george, faiumu, brough, hopefull o'donnell...should give us a boost

who knows a win and it will give us some hope for the playoffs!

but then again it is the giants



lunt cant play for leeds



leeds can make the top 4 if bradford beat catalans...lets hope catalans win so leeds dont have that extra incentive.

wonder what our completion rate will be this time?
can we hold onto the ball?
can mason keep his head?

we shall see.

im really considering if to go or not just dont fancy sitting there watching half the players thinking about there holidays

Come on Harry,you can't give up on them now.

YO

Last home game, good weather forecast, local derby what's not to look forward to.

Come 3.40 or so we might wish we were elsewhere if it goes tits up but better that way than the opposite of being somewhere else and finding out we are giving Leeds a thrashing.

I feel the same way.

Have sent my ticket for my sister to take a friend in.

I wil be there for our last game of the season against Hull though

Good call

but where not gonna give leeds a thrasing if we was losing and trying fair enough but half of them players aint trying just a slow painfull death to end of the season like last year

if your sis dont use it ill take it off her hands

Not met since the infamous Headingley Hetherington Hissyfit but if LOD goes out and knocks seven bells of Sh*te out of Bailey it will be worth the admission fee alone!!!

Go on PA let em off the tight leash and lets have some pride, passion and lots of BIFF from our forwards!!!

On the last game of the regular season , there is a rumour that a big yellow burning mass of hot gases that lives in the sky may finally make his home debut.

Have you not said to your lass yet, " if you really love me you should buy a season ticket". You need to get her trained up mate before it gets too serious!
