Managed to get to the game via train and bus but well worth it as the Dons blew Whitehaven away with not much help from Ronnie Laughton the ref . Just shows how a smaller team can beat a bigger outfit on the day if they tackle in packs. To be fair the Dons finnishing was spot on and punnished Havens mistakes every time leaving their noisy supporters shellshocked. 36 14 was a fair reflection of the game so it looks like Rochdale next week. If the Dons play like today they can go all the way.

a tremendous display today, must have been one of the best defensive/tackling displays for some time against those big Haven forwards who could make no headway and when Dons spread the ball out to the backs their forwards could not find the pace to make the cover tackles.
If we can play as well next week against Rochdale we should be in with a great chance of winning. Keep spreading the ball to the backs and tries will come

A great performance from team all 17 of them. The forwards stood upto the bullyboy Whiehaven pack. we played some good rugby and scored some cracking tries.

One or two knocks picked up.

thought the score flattered Haven .

The Dons always put on a show when I show up Paul

According to the Haven site the coach has packed in !

Awesome performance, great stucture to the side. Must go into next weeks game full of confidence.

Bring on Rochdale

I echo the same comments as above, fantastic performance guys

Fantastic 'team' effort today. Very proud of the boys.

well done lads - good luck for the next game

Another tough game but we can do it !

Well done to the coaching staff !

On Todays performance we should fear no-one in the Playoffs.

Respect them Yes,but Fear them No.

The team seemed to be doing everything I called today. Great to see them get the ball out wide. There was no way we going to match it with their massive pack. The players who had owed us big games delivered today and that made a massive difference.

Is Mike Coady now a second rower?

My only concern was how we tired for the ten minute period which allowed Whitehaven the two tries.

Lets go to Rochdale and give them the same game. However that might be hard as the pitch is narrower.

Fantastic performance, still on cloud nine. kept wanting someone to pinch me especially in the first half. just how awesome were we?

I have got to admit I thought that Whitehaven would come and steamroller us, just like Worky did ... but I was wrong.
What a great performance that was today, particularly by our wingers. Our tackling was sensational. I'd like to think we took our foot off the gas in the last ten minutes, but all that showed was what a good side we had played and totally nullified for the other seventy minutes.
They were big guys and we pulled them down, we shoved them back, we dumped them on their @rses.
That was the Dons at their finest this season.
Well done!

I was tempted to take a picture of you at half time.. The smile on your face said it all.

Donot think we tired at all , may be shut off allowing Haven into the game briefly.

Very impressed with the team, credit to them all and to the coachin staff etc. It does show however that we have to remain focussed for the full 80 as we progress through the play-offs. Neverthe less, a big thumbs up.

FANTASTIC!!!! matched them in defence and out played them in attack. Thought Sandersons try late in the first half was a class above.

I know Grant got the M.O.M but for me not one player stood out above any of the rest, it was a complete team performance.

Must have been a hard decision . Interesting to see who the fans pick as m.o.m.

And is if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared

echo every word, would like to add that spavin was back to his best,kicking game spot on,in windy conditions

anyone know why mark aston at the game with menzie yere just hope he was not cherry picking again ?

To be fair Mr Aston did applaud at the end of the game ! Maybe he was applauding himself for picking such a good match to watch .

Not to popular at Halifax at the moment but I doubt he cares.

Did anybody think the att was more than 418. Ive only seen 3 home games but thought it was more than that ?
