Maybe the dons could build up a bigger fan base as we had in the 80s and 90s but when it’s the same old promise about new signings and 5 year plans every season which never materialised then maybe that’s why the fan base is as it is, what happened to all the decent Aussies and Kiwis we picked up back in the day ??

You'll need to scroll down the page quite a long way before you come to the Dons game!

Having watched the "highlights" thanks To Hull FC (Seems Club Doncaster couldn't be bothered to tell its supporters).

We seem to need to learn how to tackle and put someone in a full back who can cover, it was by no means a full strength Hull side and that was almost our best 17, these loan signings that have been rumored since early December need to be quality otherwise its a long hard season of middling disappointment. I wouldnt have in any way expected us to win yesterday but I would have expected a much closer game given the number of first team players Hull didnt put out

As a Doncaster supported I have to echo the sentiment of other as to the value we gained from the friendly, surely a heavy defeat to a side two divisions above second string will do nothing to prepare the lads for a wet Sunday in Oldham. Surely we'd have been better to take on someone we have a more realistic chance against (Sheffield, Hunslet et al).

I think I am allowed to comment as I have watched the Highlights, but I am sure someone will tell me Im not allowed an opinion (maybe another personal message from the Vice President of the RFL).

Just thinking of who didn't play for Hull and came up with:

Shaul, Faraimo, Griffin, Connor, Tuimavave, Talanoa, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Paea, Green, Minichiello, Manu, Westerman, Jordan Thompson, Matty Dawson Jones, Bienek and Cameron Scott.

Happy with our depth this year - which could see us challenge. I think you may see Logan, Harris, Litten, Bienek and Naulogo (the Fijian winger who scored the long range try) quite regularly this year

This game was unusual for me.
I never said a dickybird all game.
Sure I clapped both our tries and I clapped one or two Hull ones because they deserved it ... and that was it.
I could have been anywhere ... watching two sides playing rugby and not feeling part of it.
WEIRD....
