| With the 2015 season tickets going on sale at this Sunday's final league game of the season, I'd be hopeful that the club might be making some announcements with regards to next season's squad.
Rumours on another thread suggest Danny Cowling has signed for us from Halifax. He's a quality player and would be a great asset to our squad. That would be welcome news.
In order to improve our chances of a top four finish next season, or to perhaps rival Leigh for top spot, what improvements to the squad would everyone like to see?

| Great news for the Dons and well done to all concerned if so. Further to that question is who should we retain from the current squad for next season? No easy choices to make when it comes down it and I don't envy anyone the task.

| Lucas Walshaw who was on Dual Reg with Cowling would be a good signing !

| I knew Danny Cowling was a sub yesterday for Halifax but never actually noticed him when he came on.
I would imagine that most of this season's squad would be retained as we'll probably be wanting to be self-sufficient and not be too reliant on any possible Dual Reg arrangement with Hull, if we continue the agreement with them. Without the Hull lads, we'd have been pretty thin on the ground at times this season.
My wish list is for four more players of the calibre of Steve Snitch and four more youngsters like Pas Dunn!
PC and the club certainly seem to have an eye for bringing in the right players. I've every confidence they'll do a good job for us.
The one thing the club and coaching staff seem able to do is get the absolute best out of players, work to their strengths, and have a team spirit that is second to none. Hopefully, the players we want to sign will recognise this and want to be part of the Dons.

I particularly remember Lucas Walshaw and Danny Cowling combining really well in our win at London which sealed winning the league when we got promoted.
I think he'd be a great signing for us. He went on Dual Reg from Wakey to Dewsbury earlier this season. He got a nasty tongue injury and returned back to Wakey. He didn't play for Dewsbury again. He last played for Wakefield in June and seems to have been out of favour lately.

| On another forum someone has suggested he has agreed terms with a club for next season but not Dewsbury.

Let's hope it could be us. I've seen him have some good games for Wakey. I didn't think he looked out of place at Super League level. He's a young lad who is likely to get better too.

Reading Bradford's forum, there is a mention on there that he could be on their wanted list.
Whoever signs him will be getting a very good quality player.

| Good news about the confirmed signings.
I wonder if there'll be any surprises with some players leaving that we'd hope would stay?

| Kyle Kesik, Craig Robinson, Mike Kelly, and Richard Wilkinson signed up is excellent news.
I'll feel particularly relieved when we get confirmation that Mark Castle, Brett Waller, and Lee Waterman have signed up. There are others I'm eager to see sign up as well.

| Wonder if Jason Crookes is being considered after his release from Hull FC?
(Currently on loan at Featherstone).

| According to the club, over 120 season tickets were sold for 2015 on Sunday beating the numbers sold in previous seasons:
[urlhttp://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/40455/season-ticket-success[/url
It's pleasing that numbers are growing but it must be equally frustrating for the club that a town the size of Donny only has 120 people wanting to sign up.
I understand a lot of people prefer to pay on the day and spread the cost over the season, so I'm not having ago at anyone who wants to do that. It just doesn't make sense to me that we can't attract at least 1,000 home fans to every game.

I'm told he's signed with us (Fev) for next year and beyond. Overjoyed if it's true, quality player.

| Every time I pick up the RL Express and read that such and such a club has signed a promising player from the other side of world it makes me annoyed that we haven't.
On the other hand we are giving employment to domestic players.
Yet the shoitehawks are awash within such incomers, like a Chelsea of RL.
Something is not right.

| I am very disappointed to read that we have re-signed a forward who never breaks a tackle, makes very little ground and defensively is very poor.

Guess it's not Waterman you're referring to so Spiers or Carbutt I guess?

Both of whom I've seen break tackles consistently and make tackles consistently.
