The third of the fixtures at Featherstone's LD Nutrition Stadium and the opposition are the league leaders Whitehaven.

This has the feel of a pivotal game should the Dons harbour any hopes of automatic promotion and a defeat would also hamper the chances of finishing second or third with the benefits that brings in the play offs.

Back to back wins away at Coventry Bears and West Wales Raiders coupled with other promotion / play off rivals taking points off each other sees the Dons in 4th place in League One, currently five points behind Sunday's opponents Whitehaven.

Former Man of Steel (2011) Rangi Chase will come in to contention and with Jordan Howden and Watson Boas injured could possibly partner Matty Beharrell at half back should the Clubs top points scorer this season be passed fit after missing the West Wales game following an injury against Coventry.

Last Season: Doncaster 44 Whitehaven 6 (Sunday 11 March 201icon_cool.gif.
Dons Tries: Jordan Howden 2, Liam Harris, Jack Sanderson 2, Sam Doherty, Connor Bower 2, Jez Litten.
Dons Conversions: Liam Harris 3.

Hull's squad for their game on Thursday night:

Jamie Shaul, Bureta Faraimo, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Josh Bowden, =#0000FFDean Hadley, Mark Minichiello, Joe Westerman, Jake Connor, Chris Green, Brad Fash, Sika Manu, Mickey Paea, Ratu Naulago, Gareth Ellis, =#0000FFKeiran Buchanan.

I would take Brown, Wynne & Litten if Boas is out .

Jez Litten and Rangi could really get us buzzing if working well together. Levy Nzoungu has impressed me lately too.

Yere has been recalled to Sheffield and is in their squad for this weekend

Unless I'm missing something, we will potentially only have one loan player this weekend (Hodgson) so could in theory get more help from Hull.

I'd imagine were trying to get Wynn to the 4 game requirement for the play offs

Don't understand why its all quiet on here. Big game Sunday and Rangi playing ?

Sadly, it seems quiet on here much of the time these days.

Had the game been at the Keepmoat, non-season ticket holders may have probably been more inclined to go.

The weekend attendance may be a good one though due to Cas and Fev fans turning out.

Hadley in the Hull 17, Buchanan not.
