Is this the first game that we will be missing a few players as reported previously?

Could be a tough one looking at Towns result this week. According to their forum
they played really well against Oldham, and they will be much tougher than the previous two games. I think this will give us a better idea of where we are.

Yeah we will be missing the four players on their wedding related holibobs

Not ideal


How do you think we will go?

Crawley and Paul Hughes haven't played the last couple anyway, and Carl Hughes and Robinson seem to be on and off the bench. Hopefully we can go OK without them, the biggest problem would be if we get a couple of injuries over the next 2 weeks

Looking forward to the game.

Our squad is a lot deeper than in recent years, so i hope we can cope without them
Spurr, Dobek and Edwards returns can't be that far way.
Sampson, Williams and Wilson also there if needed

Dobek could be in contention this weekend ...IIRC what it said in the League Express.
I would be surprised.

Tough games for Swinton at Oldham and Keighley at Whitehaven.
A win could leave us top.

still second after Swinton win

attendance 493

I hear we had several injured and one guy went to hospital not sure who's who though - anyone know anything?

Dobek, with a serious leg injury.

Butterfield & Spaven also injured plus China & Leal who both did manage to get come back on.

The forwards were immense today.

Looks like Aaron Dobek may have broke his leg, on his return game from injury too

What a great performance today , with all the injuries the players 1 - 17 stuck to their tasks .

Well done to the coaching team !


Enjoyed every minute & the crowd got behind the lads .

Great stuff today considering all the injuries and illness before the game and the injuries picked up during it. Professional job done! Just unlucky to give them a bonus point they didn't deserve.


Although looking briefly at the Workington forum it's only cause they played badly that we won, which takes the percentage of games we've ever won only because of an under performing opposition to 100%. were the luckiest team in history obviously!

well they may have played better if they had actually come to play rugby and not just to twist Dons players legs in the tackle but thats just my view obviously

Massive





to all the guys who wore the shirt today, they wore it with pride and passion. Shame about giving them the bonus, but we cannot have everything.

Well done to the travelling fans who made the long journey to Doncaster, and hope you have a safe journey home.

Gutted for Dobek. Hope it's not too bad.

The lads played really well today: the defence was awesome. And considering
the amount of lads who were injured that has got to be performance of the season.
China and Leafy both played thru the pain barrier and I think Nev Morrison came back
on with stitches in his head.

Anybody know how many lads went off with injuries and whether they came back on again?

Dobek - Injured
Spavin - Injured
Butterfield - Injured, Did he come back?
Morrison - Injured, Back on
Leafy - Injured, Back on
China - Injured, Back on

Any more? I think we know Dobek might be long term but hopefully the others will be OK.

I thought Worky got off lucky. If we didn't suffer those injuries and kept a more settled
side I think we might've scored fifty! They certainly were not worth a bonus point, thats
for sure.

Discipline appeared to be poor again or was the ref a bit whistle happy?

Less said about the ref the better I think!

All in all an entertaining afternoon. Well done to all the lads in what must have been a
difficult game to play in.

Looks like Swinton are the team to look out for this season.

Keep it up Donny!!

The meaning of your post is not lost on me, Jemmo, but to be fair they were pants!
Had we been at full strength and not suffered such a rate of attrition we would have
put a load past them.

My first game of the season due to other commitments but could not have picked a better match to watch. Only a couple of missed tackles in the whole match showed the defence was brilliant considering the size of the Cumbrian pack who clearly were told to rough up the young Dons. I think the scoreline was generous to Worky and like has been said if the Dons had not lost the players who were injured they would have scored a few more but I was happy with result. Not sure about the crowd given out as 400 plus though.

well done yet again lads - watch out for the nose bleeds!
