The cost to travel to Whitehaven has been announced. It will be £10 for adults and £5 for kids.

It'd be great if we could get a decent following up there.

Think we have to win this one to give ourselves a better chance of play offs especially
as they play Bradford tomorrow and Bradford should win you would think.
would put us in a lot healthier position.

Update Monday 13th August:

There are 16 seats still available on the 50 seater coach booked for Sunday's game. The bus company will be confirming the departure time on Wednesday.

Anyone wanting to go needs to contact Tracy Armstrong on 07500788043.

Don't stay at home and watch the Twitter feeds, have a day out instead!

If we don't win this game it will mean we can't afford to slip up in the games against Keighley and Workington, assuming we beat Newcastle and N Wales.

If we beat Whitehaven we might already be guaranteed a play-off place before we play Workington at home in the last match. That would take some of the stress out of watching it!

From the point of view of momentum and confidence, a win at Whitehaven would certainly do a lot of good.

We actually beat Whitehaven quite easily in the home game so that should hopefully set us up nicely for this weekend.

Squads for Sunday:

Abram 1 Owen
Aiye 2 Tali
Burns 3 Doherty
Coward 4 Howden
Eaves 5 Spiers
Forster 6 Kesik
Gillam 7 Boyle
Green 8 England
Howarth 9 Muranka
McAvoy 10 Hedges
Mossop 11 C. Scott
Nandye 12 Bower
Phillips 13 Miloudi
Roper 14 Litten
Shackley 15 Osborne
Taylor 16 Sanderson
D. Thompson 17 Mariano
J. Thompson 18 Beharrell
Tilley 19 Logan

Difficult to say. Thought Tali might be struggling. If so that's one choice made. Still two very good centres if so. Props seem sorted. HBs same. Outside backs and back row are only point of discussion. I hope they take full advantage of going up early. If so I can only see one outcome.

That Jessie Joe Parker and Aiye used to duff us up ...
but I don't see Parker's name there ... which is good.

Changed his name mate. Google it

You mean he isn't a Jessie anymore?

Nandye?

So he will continue to duff us up then?

Wonder if Doherty has been included because Tali is a doubt.

That would be my thought. That said Bower is also included.

I feel jason is fit tbh and same 2 that missed last week will be same. I really feel Hakim should start from bench. Benefits from that are obvious. Sando fb. Doherty and Owen on wing. Surely the benefits there are obvious?

I think Boyle will play this week .

Good move going up today i think.
At least they're trying everything possible to get the best performance.
COYDs

He was the one who ended Shaun Leaf's career when he tipped him up at Castle Park. He's always caused us problems. Hope we can keep him quiet tomorrow.

With Richard Horne's policy not to play anyone unless they're fully fit, it would be strange to include Jason Tali if he wasn't fit, unless he doesn't want Whitehaven to know he won't be playing so he's keeping them guessing.

I reckon he'll be okay to play. I think he went over on his ankle - nothing too serious.

Weather forecast for Whitehaven (Sunday) is for it to tip it down until about midday then hopefully dry. Typical Cumbria.

I was just going to check the forecast...

We don't want a 'wet game'. Dry from midday is good.

Dons -2 @ 10/11 with Bet365.

I nearly opted to go on the coach ... but decided against going.
Whitehaven is not like Barrow where you can get off the coach and you are a few hundred yards from a Wetherspoon and civilisation.
If you're dropped at the ground then that's where you stop ... unless you know what you're doing and have time.
Still, the coach trips up there are always good fun ... always something going on.
So good luck to you that are travelling on the coach and a win would make the journey back so much nicer.
