Very quiet on here ... anybody going?

Hope (on the field) we get a positive reaction to last weeks poor performance ... a repeat of that in this fixture and we could be really embarrassed ... hopefully that won't be the case.

Kyle Kesik will be a big loss, would have thought mike emmett will fill that role. Unless there is a big improvement i can only see it as a loss, how big depends on whether the players and coaching staff believe they can get a result, or play for damage limitation . I wish i could be more positive

Expect C Hughes to slot in at 13 , could do with a new no9 or someone to spell Emmett.

Im goin but dont feel positive bout gettin a result. Hopefully we cud sneak a bonus point cos looks like every single point is gonna b vital to survive in this league.

Not going, even though I do usually go to Fev.
It's only up the road.

I thought we had turned a corner with wins at York and Worky, but it seems we haven't.
To be drubbed by a side that you had beaten by 5 tries to 2 a few weeks back is a bit unforgivable to be honest and has killed my interest until the next home game.

Let's face it we were losing at Worky with a minute to go, so that could also have been a loss.
Away form is not good enough against similar level clubs and that is just psychological pressure from a hostile environment and knowing nothing but hard graft will do.

So I can't see anything but pain at Fev and no bonus point.

Match Preview

Another game on the road beckons for Doncaster RLFC as they look to get back to winning ways against a strong Featherstone Rovers side at Big Fella's Stadium, Post Office Road on Sunday (3:00pm kick-off).

The Dons were well-beaten last weekend at York who were good value for money. It was a disappointing defeat for Tony Miller's men as they had beaten the Knights just a few weeks prior in the knock out stages of the Northern Rail Cup.

The Dons are currently 11th place in the Championship table but are only two points off a top-eight position. Miller said: "The main thing for us this year was always to consolidate in this division, and then if we can sneak into the player-offs that will be a big bonus.

"A couple of wins in a row can move you four or five places up - that's how tight it is."

Club captain Kyle Kesik was a casualty of the York defeat and had to come off with a knee injury. The hooker could be out of action for six weeks but is due to see a specialist next week who will help with the prognosis.

Utility forward Grant Edwards has not been passed fit to play with a neck injury but Carl Hughes has been added to Miller's squad after recovering from a pectoral tear. Dual registrations available this weekend are once Danny Cowling, Liam Kay and Kyle Trout of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

Miller added: "Games don't come much tougher than Featherstone on their own patch.

"But we have some very good players in our squad who enjoy testing themselves against some of the best players in the Championship.

"We can't afford to be complacent and we need to bounce back from last week's disappointment and give a good account of ourselves."

Interim Featherstone coach Ryan Sheridan looks set to welcome back stand-off Andy Kain who missed last week's impressive 23-8 win at Leigh through illness.

Sheridan will also check on both Jon Hepworth and Tim Spears but will definitely be without Ben Helliwell (wrist) and Anthony England (shoulder) as he aims to plot a win that could take Rovers to the top of the league table.

Sheridan will not underestimate Doncaster who Rovers beat 28-12 at the Keepmoat Stadium two months ago and said: "It was a tough game at their place. Doncaster are a physical side and we are expecting no less this weekend.

"They have a good coach in Tony Miller and some good players.

"We know our preparation will be important this week going into the game. We are now building some momentum in our performances and parts of our game are coming together nicely.

Lets hope the lads put up a good show today a point would be a bonus .

Thats probably the best we could hope for

Does that mean Darth Vader is playing for us today? Have we got the dark side with us?

Whilst Anakin has been playing a lot for the first team this year I would have taken a half back/hooker to cover Kesik. Kyle Wood would have been ideal.

Half Time Fev Rovers 18 v Doncaster 18

3 yes 3 late tries seals 24 - 36 win for the Dons , its a funny old game !

Suprise suprise, excellent win and big congratulations to everyone.

Amazing and Ludicrous in equal measures!

Well done to everyone!

Big surprise to our friends from Fev also.(shame)

Yeah did you see some of the predictions on their forum?

60/70+ wins from some of them

well done everyone, thought workington result was great
this is the win of the season

What a great game to go to today, shame more fans were not there to see Fev get beat on there own ground.

Massive well done to the guys.

Rumours that one of our old players of last season is joining us again.

Wonder who I am hoping for a certain flying Winger, I am shell shocked with this result UNBELIEVABLE and to think that Fev only just got a bonus point out of it, MASSIVE WELL DONE TO ALL COYD

Did said winger play today ( at fullback)? It's a funny old game, isn't it? I was predicting 60-70 + points, never mind the Fev fans

I am amazed, humbled and proud of that result.
Rugby truly is a game by game sport as last week and this week shows.
Who would have seen that one coming?
COYD

Don't think anyone would have predicted that after last week. Big pat on the back to all involved , need to carry this into the remaining games. Shame there isn't a home game on the horizon , a result like this could put a few extra on the gate.

Could be a re arranged home game depending on the result Thursday.
