Seriously ?? Well in that case if this is the 2nd time this has happened then Carl needs to grow and pair and cancel this whole arrangement... and while he’s at it send Horne on his way too

| It’s shocking losing at home to a team with one win all season, as for the dual reg deal well once again that’s a joke

| Enough is enough. Today’s defeat is embarrassing and a disgrace... Horne and Hull fc need getting rid of now. He’s had long enough and has shown to not have a clue.

I agree I was honestly thinking for a while about seeing out this season as I already have my season ticket and then packing in as I am fed up of the false promises of promotion charges and naff recruitment.
But now I'm not even sure I will last that long

| The Scarlet Pimpernel from Hull ... nobody has ever seen him, yet we put our faith in him.
He couldn't organise a fish supper in Grimsby or Hull or Doncaster.
We are only better than West Wales and Coventry (maybe) and the bull stops NOW!

| Crusaders deserved the win today. We were dreadful.
Totally incapable of completing 6 tackles and consequently unable to build any kind of pressure on their line. Ok the ref didn’t have the best of games but we still don’t help ourselves with the penalties we give away.
Beryl tried his best without any support or back up but can’t do it on his own. Even Kes didn’t look his usual self.
Hope Richard Owen’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked.
I dread to think what the attendance will be next week for the 1895 cup match v West Wales, given that it’s not covered by the season ticket.

Yes, a coaching masterstroke leaving him kicking his heels for 35 minutes!

| Well that was terrible today. All this constant chopping and changing, how can players start to build effective understanding.I
Too many players were not at the races today. I won't disagree with the MoM nomination, but for me Connor Scott was another who put in a good shift.
Our kicking game didn't put them under any pressure, our completion rate must have only just made double figures, and we don't have the biggest pack but we persisted in going down the middle with one off carries.
Agree with other posters about our penalty count, again, the ref didn't have the best of games but we can't look to blame him for our inability to hold onto the ball.
One final moan, does anyone else think we look very lethargic out there?
Final point, hope Richard Owens is ok and it's not too serious.

We shouldn't be losing these games and all the other games went our way and we can't take advantage

| Club Doncaster have to decide once and for all if the Dons are a 'plaything' or a serious business interest.
If it's the latter and I had hoped it was, then it's time to accept that the business is failing and changes need to be made to reinvigorate the asset. Over to you Mr Baldwin ...

| I wasn't there, and haven't been this season, the writing was on the wall before a ball was kicked/passed etc, but I have held my tongue for fear of being shouted down by the "important club sponsor" and others and receiving more direct unprofessional tweets from the CEO, but this is not what we were promised preseason.
The "enhanced" dual reg is a joke, we should ask Hull for a refund, I am not sure the coach is 100% Doncaster (well he's not) but He's not doing anything on the pitch with the team that makes me think cor we've got a good un here. The signings are good but all very "short term" and why do we sign a PNG halfback and play him at full back?
We were sold a pup once more by someone within the Club Doncaster set up, and I echo what Gary says its time for them to put up or clear out. I am sad to say this it unless drastic and I mean drastic (root and branch) steps are taking I will be winning my wager with said "important club sponsor) and we don't hear his words of wisdom again.
Time for the club to sever its unhealthy ties to Hull FC, get back to being Donny, sign players who are ours (or at least proper loans) and get a coach is is 100% ours, not a someone whos main wage payer is another RL club.
We have underestimated the strength of this division and recruited poorly tho this has improved lately, but we seem to not be able to field a settled side as others have quoted we've used 33 different players so far this season, even with injuries that's a stupid number. Things need to change before the club can go forwards.
As the bard once said "There's something rotten in the state of Denmark"....... its time to weed it out.

Furious would be nice ...
This is the second time a Hull player has gone AWOL.

| NWC were very well drilled defensively and had the better opportunities to seal the game well befoe the end. When he had the scrum near the end we even said it would have been emabarrasing to have won at that point. The strange thing is, I don't think the last two games have been lack of effort, just seems like we don;t know what the other player is doing any more. Also we seem to be picking the starting 13 out of a bag every week.

I've had to suffer the 'bingo machine' team selection at Bolton this season and now it appears I have it again with the Dons.
It doesn't end well.

| Crusaders looked far better in terms of their structure and we have no beef with their win.
I even found myself saying after one flowing movement down the left followed by a grubber to touch ...'now that's how you play rugby!'
We were a shambles ...

| The two ‘lesser teams’ that we’ve played this season (Coventry and N Wales) have certainly upped their game from last season. There’s no doubt about it. For starters, their fitness levels are better than last year and they’re not falling off tackles like they used to. Skolars seem to be much better too but we’ve not seen them yet. Their 42-26 win at Hunslet shows they’re a team to be reckoned with.
York and Bradford were clearly best in the league last season with the Dons and Workington some way off the pace, probably third and fourth best. It’s ironic that both sides are struggling this season.
Last season, when we had the likes of Miloudi, Litten, Osbourne, Cameron Scott, Jack Logan and Jack Sanderson in the team we looked half-decent. Those players added some spark to what we did and provided a little bit of class.
For whatever reason, the ‘enhanced DR arrangement’ hasn’t improved on the quality of players we’re getting from Hull. This is incredibly disappointing. Whether Richard Horne is choosing not to use DR to its full extent, we don’t know.
Overall, things have gone backwards this season and with it the Dons ability to stamp any authority on matches. We now look vulnerable against anyone. The only defence to our position is that we’re missing Brad England and Frankie Mariano but that cannot be used as an excuse for only winning three out of seven league games.
I don’t honestly think we lost against N Wales due to any lack of effort. The commitment of the players seemed fine. We were beaten by the better side. Basically, Richard Horne hasn’t brought in enough players of the required quality either through signings or through DR. For this he must take full responsibility.
Where do we go from here? We can’t write off this season yet. There are too many games left. As all teams in this league seem to be able to beat each other on the day, no one can feel comfortable about their position. There’s still plenty to play for.
Unless we start to utilise the DR agreement to the full, I don’t see our fortunes changing very much. Also, if we don’t bring in the right Hull lads soon, they might not be qualified for the play-offs, should we make them. The current DR arrangement ought to be an asset but it seems more like a hindrance at the moment.

Yes, I agree they were excellent signings Paul but we needed 10 new players of this quality, not two.
Some of the other players we've signed have got potential but they're not the finished articles by any means yet.

You didn't mention Crossy missing who i think is a key player for us as well.Does anyone know of his injury. Not heard a thing like a mystery or has he vanished of the face of the earth.

It looked like quite a bad injury he got, didn't it? It is frustrating not getting injury updates from the club. We're not really giving other clubs an advantage if we make a statement to say someone is expected to be back in three weeks time, for example.
We have missed him.
