Quote ="Stand-Offish"This is one of the reasons I thought we were crap, even a jobsworth like Bentham wasn't pulling us up for being offside which says something. Part of looking the business of a top side is to look professional. After a great start yesterday, we just looked anything but professional. Very few systems in place, little planning apparent, a bit haphazard and disorganised really. Perhaps it was just the side Thornton fielded and the side against Keighley will be better. Players on my 'dubious about' list are ... Heil Tali Kesik Miller Hedges'" It will be interesting to compare notes www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/spo ... -1-8377347

Quote ="Moonlight"It will be interesting to compare notes www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/spo ... -1-8377347'" Well I doubt Miller or Hedges would be in doubt for Thornton as that is two thirds of his creative team. And to think that I would judge Hedges on one performance is risible. I believe based on what I have seen, they don't cut the mustard, they might have done in the past. We haven't got great centres or halfbacks ... they are merely OK. We scored three out of our four tries from kicks. They weren't incisive bits of creativity. They were what keeps Geoff at home.

What keeps Geoff at home is the modern game full stop but I know what you mean . We have 1 centre who has the physical attributes to be a stand out player in this league lets hope he ups his game if selected.
We have a strong pack & some creative players in Tonks & Martin plus the speed of Cross .

COYD

We do ... I am very happy with the players you mention and the halfbacks ought to have a easier ride this season thanks to our forwards.
If our halfbacks matched our forwards, we would be the business ... but they don't.
Would make getting a class scrumhalf a priority, but it won't happen.
The bookies agree with me ....

I really don't know what it is with the Dons and halfbacks .... now't changes.

See Hedges has been given a chance tonight with Hull u23's as have 2 of our centres Heil & England .

Perhaps there is something in what I say.
Heil is more like a second rower than a centre ...he has got to do something.
He came described as a a powerful centre ....
Thus far, that is a joke.

does anyone know how our players went on last night?

Hull got well beaten .

Fonua, Thompson, Connor and Green all in the 17 this week as Hull win against Wakefield.

When we lost this game, and may I say, in the West Indian Collapso style that typifies our time under Thornton, the cliche that was plucked out of the cliche box was 'this is a wake up call'.

Well they must have pressed the snooze button, because guess what Donny, you got another at Keighley.

'But aye listen, the lads are gutted.'
'But aye listen, the fans have got to pull together.'
'But aye listen, we got a big side.'
'But aye listen, Gary has faith in these lads.'

So that's ITD done....

Play spot the crowd against Myton ...

Can we just get some half backs???.

I reckon Newcastle have more idea!
And they aren't even on the radar!

PS Worrincy slightly changes things ....
