Looking forward to this!

Would be good to get one over the Rams (one of only 2 teams to do the league double over us this season).

Hope we have Butts & Kes back from injury , in RL Express we are hoping Trout, Cowling & Kay. However Wakefield seem in turmoil again , so who knows.

See no reason why we shouldn't be pretty confident going into this game, as im sure are dewsbury, should be a very good game. Looking forward to it.

Would love to see Kay play. He might give us the edge. However, if we play to our undoubted ability, we will win in any case. Now should I attend or not? Am very tempted despite my recent track record.

Cowling out of tie , 2 match ban .

Not sure if reduced to 1 due to early guilty plea or 3 matches reduced to 2.

NO Donny it says accepted 2 match ban .

I was confused as it could mean 2 match ban reduced to 1.
Still not sure !

Early Guilty plea offered and accepted. 2 Match ban as a result.

Ok mate .

So is that Waterman or Leaf at centre?

2 Dewsbury players, Tom Lillycrop (Grade B - punching v Leigh Centurions) and James Craven (Grade B - punching v Doncaster) both handed One-match suspensions.

I vote Leaf - Cowlings defensive effort is always immense - and we need someone who can keep Pryce quiet.

Leave Waterman at Fullback

What if Butts is fit , he was playing well also !

bench -wouldn't want to throw him in deep end first game back.

Butts at full back , Lee in centre .

With regards to Sunday's game being an 'all pay' gate - the club would like to advise their fans to purchase their tickets early to avoid the chance of lengthy delays whilst purchasing a ticket on the day of the game.

We're expecting Dewsbury to bring quite a few fans with them and they will all have to queue at the ticket office to purchase a ticket which will no doubt add time to this process.

Contact the ticket office for more details on (01302) 762576.

Since Dewsbury won last time, they will I presume adopt the same tactics.
These tactics are ....
Pie munching forward play with a triple sub after twenty minutes.
Short high lob kicking against Dennis, if he plays, and indeed Dave Scott because he is diddy.
They will have nothing else to offer ... nothing!
But that is a serious threat if executed well as we saw at Dewsbury.
However the Dons were abyssmal that day and that will be the major difference.
We had to almost deliberately cock everything up to avoid the bonus point.
Dewsbury will have a more determined foe this time.
The weather could be ropey , that might not suit us.
England and France expects.

Dennis has a shoulder injury & faces a fitness test according the Free Press.

Weather forecast is for decent weather.
Bring it Don!

Both teams were pretty awful, the last time we played. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are a lot better than that! But if not, all you say is true

Trout included in Wakefield 19 joining Kay .

Thats a double kick in the knickers

One of our best performances of the season was achieved without our DR players (Widnes away).. Lets see what happens then.

Suppose Walshaw also been recalled from Dewsbury?

BIG Match Preview

Doncaster Rugby League Club play their biggest game of the season on Sunday when they take on Dewsbury Rams in the elimination play-offs at the Keepmoat Stadium (3:00pm kick-off).

The Dons secured sixth place in the Kingstone Press Championship table thanks to a superb 34-20 victory over South Yorkshire neighbours Sheffield Eagles last weekend which was Tony Miller's last regular league game in charge of the club. Sunday's game will be his last as head coach at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Dewsbury is one of two teams who have completed the double over the hosts this season and come into this game in good form after beating Leigh on their travels last weekend. The West Yorkshire club have picked up seven points from their last three games and have made the play-offs for the first time in 13 years.

Miller's men will take on the Rams without the help of their dual registration players from Wakefield. Danny Cowling is suspended and both Liam Kay and Kyle Trout have been named in the Wildcats squad.

Chris Spurr also misses out (finger), but skipper Kyle Kesik could come back into contention after being rested against the Eagles. Mick Butterfield is included in Miller's squad after illness forced him out last week whilst Dennis Tuffour is expected to be fit and Russ Spiers is eligible to play against his former club.

Miller said: "I thought we were fantastic from one to seventeen last week and thoroughly deserved our win in the South Yorkshire derby - it was a great day for the club.

"We will need another similar performance to beat a strong Dewsbury side who will be full of confidence with their impressive win at Leigh.

"They've beaten us a couple of times this year so we're the ones who will have to prove ourselves this weekend if we want to progress to the next stage.

"Whatever happens we've had a tremendous season and to finish in sixth place was beyond our wildest dreams but we want to do well in the play-offs and we'll give it our best shot."

Rams' head coach Glenn Morrison is without Tom Lillycrop and James Craven after the pair were given one-match bans by the RFL's disciplinary committee this week. But Morrison remains in upbeat mood ahead of Sunday's do-or-die play-off.

Morrison said: "We had to start our finals series three weeks ago. We needed to win each week just to stay alive, and we've had a really good buzz about the place. Everybody's relaxed and ripping in.

"It's hard to get that finals football mentality, but we've had it there for a few weeks now and we want to keep that momentum going.

"We're going to be at the bare bones, but we've shown in the last few weeks that people playing out of position have done a job for us."

As stated above this will be Tony Miller's last game at the Keepmoat Stadium as the head coach of the club. Please do your best to attend the game to give Tony the send-off that he truly deserves.
