Cheers me dears.
Going out now to make an afternoon/evening of it.

looking at results in this afternoon, after this weekend we could be bottom quite easily
featherstone not done us any favours now we need same result at sheffield tonite
COYD

keighley 6-0 up could do with a barrow win

Looking at results across all Leagues today, itis madness....if York can beat Fev then we can safely assume no easy games left, so Bonus points have to be minimum target for games like tonight. IMO.

Terrific effort, bonus point that, to be honest , i didn't expect, and as you say could possibly have won the game. Onto Halifax on Monday.

Without doubt our best result so far this season, especially after they turned Fev over last week. A bonus point was beyond my wildest dreams and I would have laughed at anyone saying otherwise. Well done, boys! Very proud of you. Glad to see you got your mojo back, S-O....and with a little help from the dual regs. too ( and Brooke Broughton )

Thought you played well and made it a competitive game when on paper it should have been a comfortable win,Thought the referee was shocking in general,You were trying to slow the play the ball down and got punished accordingly but in general the ref didn't have a clue and was a far too bigger game for him,Deserved the bonus point,The big prop you had was a right handful,Good luck for rest of the season,If it was a game about effort you'd have had 3 points tonight.

Tries were actually Sanderson and Cowling.

I really enjoyed myself tonight and some of the true Dons fans took the p/ss out of me , which is how it should be.
They are great fans, we had a laugh.

Absolutely delighted with the result and performance tonight. I was expecting a one sided game and was pleasantly surprised. They scored we scored kind of game and I thought the Ref had an absolute shocker. Some big performances from the lads but the two who stood out for me were Butterfield and Broughton. Wnt be at the Halifax game due to work but I am confident after todays performance we can get 3 points COYD

Yes Broughton was strangely wonderful tonight.
He has grown up.

could of won

I know I have a different view to most from my little hidey hole behind the sticks, but I thought that last night was probably our best performance of the season, and it was a good advert for the game, spoiled by some indifferent refereeing.

Several players stepped up to the plate so to speak, Mick Butterfield had his best game in a long time, and wasn't afraid to run the ball into contact. Brooke Broughton was excellent when he came on, and Shaun Leaf showed why he is one of the best tacklers in the team when he sent Yere backwards.
Thought Fawcett was quiet, but Wildie and Blackmore fitted well into a makeshift backline for us.

If we put the amount of effort into the rest of the season that we did last night, then we'll pick up a few more wins, and had the bonus point been offered to us prematch, I'm sure that every one of us will have taken it.

Great to read the positive comments even S-O.

Best game of season for me,

BuTterfield, Kes and Emmett were outstanding , but everyone played really well.

Ref was poor BUT had we helped ourselves a bit more with some panic / daft decisions we could have won that.

Just need to understand that if a ref is not going to give you certain things such a ball being reefed etc then you have to respect the ball and do the simpole things like play the ball right.

Not many teams will get a bonus point there - so got to be delighted.

Looking forward to Monday and I hope now Butts keeps his place at FB.

COYD

great result not expected at all.

how did Backmore fare?
Looking forward to seeing him Mon.
Couldn't make the mathch last night, sounds like i missed a good game.

I must admit to not knowing our new additions apart from Adam Scott.
You're's a million miles from the pitch at Don Valley so it's not that easy to spot who's who.
So looking forward to seeing these new players closer up.

The team certainly had better balance and was busier in midfield.

I slagged the ref, but really he was good for us at times chalking off a couple of their tries.

I also couldn't understand why Sheffield turned down two kickable penalties at 12 points in front.
That would have put us out of the bonus range late in the game.
Too confident or not bothered, but strangely non-killer instinct.
Good old Eagles, Mark loves us deep down.

I'll only say this once.

I feel sorry for Aston and co. They've lived a nomadic existence throughout the last 29 years and although DVS is the pits for playing and watching RL, at least it was somewhere they could rely on and of course, they are the other, less well-known, South Yorkshire team ( ok, so they did win the Challenge Cup once

), so we should be concerned for their welfare. Yes, I know they have Bramall Lane, but how permanent is that?


They have consistently over-achieved, as evidenced by our being happy with a narrow defeat to them. Aston has done a great job.

Still hate them though.

Big effort last night. Excellent Bonus Point.

I don't think I could be considered Mick Butterfield's biggest fan but I thought he was the best player on the pitch last night.
