The weather will bugger this game up for the Dons.

Squad www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk Bit concerned Brad England not included again , assuming not fit to return. Brad is in my opinion our best forward & we miss him .

I'm guessing that the omission of Ben Howe suggests an extra half would be surplus to requirements. If so I'm good with that.

Several options for the coach , not been convinced by the performance of some of our forwards.

I think Worky will be quietly confident, given the weather it will be a war of attrition in the forwards and apart from Peltier and some good back up from Horne and Douglas, what have WE got?
Still, I hope we win obviously.
COYD
PS Individually our forwards don't stand up to scrutiny apart from Peltier.
I thought Douglas was quality when he first came, but now he is merely OK.
Spiers ditto, you name them.

Skybet make us slightly bigger favourites, asking us to give up an 8 point start.

I'm feeling vaguely confident. It sounds like the pitch is in good nick and apart from a couple of, admittedly very good, back rowers we seem to be picking from real strength. Dons by 16

Good on yer Rob, but after forty years I've never felt anything resembling confidence when it comes to our games in Cumbria.

Watson Boas starts at full back ! Didn't expect that .

Boas , Rickett, Smeaton , Tali , Doherty, Chase , Beharrell, Spears Carter , Boyle, Ollett , Foster, Horne.

Reps Cross , Douglas , Peltier & Mclaughlin.


Fine day Pitch looks a bit greasy .

Impressive start 0-6 come on lads

I am hoping we were playing into the wind in the first half ...
Given that Tali has scored 2 and Beryl converted, I would guess we had the wind.
So the second half could be quite different.
Only a guess though...

Losing now ..

FT Workington Town 22 Dons 12

And now a word from our sponsor ...

just a wild guess.... poor discipline..gave away too many penalties... lack of forward power... dont know how to finish ect.. ect..and dont forget the old favourite ...we need to be smarter,,,hope im wrong.

It's a wake up call.
Our third in four games so far ...our alarm is set on 'snooze'.

We lost. Hard luck. It happens.

Hardly the end of the world .

Hope we bounce back with a win next week !

We can may be re arrange a league game on the free week end .

Are the days of someone coming on here and giving a critical, informative match report gone?
Or did they never exist in the first place?
Irrespective of whether you are an optimist, a pessimist, a moaner, a rose-tinted observer, what good are one- liners?
Like ...'We lost,so what?'
Or 'The better team won.'
Or 'We have to learn by our mistakes.'
Or 'The lads gave their all.'
Language usage and critical skills are dying!
