Warrington 80-0 Keighley

I fancy a win, I reckon if we can't sort Keighley there is something wrong.
It's time we got back on track. And what better way.

Lets hope we play with at least 80% of the passion and determination we played with against wakefield.
Hopefully we now have the oppurtunity to field a full strength squad.
Come on Dons!

If I was a moderator ... I would point out there there already is a 'Keighley at home' thread and would merge the two...but I'm not.

Carl Hall asking for the fans support on Sunday, praising their efforts on Sunday past v Wakefield.This going to be a tough game Sunday be one we need to win . Source The Star .

We are good enough to beat Keighley ... we just have to believe it and go out and do it. It will be a bummer if we don't.

I think if that had been Keighley out there instead of Wakey we would have beaten them. Plus we are going in against them with a stronger side than last Sunday ... so we should win.

We need to believe that this is when our season kicks on.
And it should be barring injuries.

Done.

I wouldn't read too much in to the 80-0 score line if I were you.

Warrington fielded a very strong side and were absolutely fantastic. Lets be honest, they've smashed a few Super League teams this season. [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/warrington-vs-keighley-post-matchTony Smith was complimentary about the way we played.[/url

There's highlights on YouTube from our video guy (I can't post a link but there's one from him on the Keighley board), the last 2 tries are sensational.

We've a couple of guys coming back from injury including James Haythornthwaite who since moving to full back from the 2nd row has scored 5 tries in his last 2 games and looks like he could play at a far higher level.

Looking forward to it, I think we'll beat you but you'll manage a bonus point.

That's very kind of you.
Your task may be made a bit easier by the suspension of Shaun Leaf one of our centres (and captain

) for alleged betting against his own team.
However the rest of the lads might just rally round and show that they are not in the same category and Keighley might just suffer the backlash.

If that comment he allegedly said about your pack doesn't fire them up nothing will.

And Carl Hughes should have a point to prove against us.

Prop Dominic Dee on loan from Fev should make his debut v the Cougars.

Double D eh?
I think he might good up front.


He might bust a few tackles.

Beneath you mate

Nothing's beneath me ... you ought to know that.

According to the Star , Green & Morrison are not available . New signing from Sedgley Park RUFC Richard Tafa a centre is available , remember seeing against Fev away ruffled a few feathers if I remember. Chris Spurr & Craig Lawton still doubtful.

Yes i remember him playing against Fev, look very strong but also very raw positionally.
Good signing.

Well if they are not available, we need bodies who are on a regular basis.
I can't see the point in this arrangement ... better not to have them.
The Keighley game is vital ... and now it looks like we will be scratting around for players, pathetic.
It's a game there for the winning ... and yet once again we still can't field our strongest side.
Being a Dons fan is just a succession of disappointments.

We can still beat Keighley ... and I will be brassed off if we don't.

did craig play for toll bar today if so I dont understand the club strugglin for players but let him play for his amatuer club

just been told by a friend who watches tolbar that he did play full 80 and did well! so is that why hes doubtful for us?

Could maybe cover for Kyle's 40 mins on the bench!

Any predictions for todays match?

Think it's deffinatley winable. Think it maybe a big game for the forwards (prove they are not sh17e)

Yes, that Gary isn't putting the betting up on this thread.

Dons 20 v Keighley 24, a game we deserved to & should have won . Gave away a few silly penalties . I think the injury to Butterfied was crucial, we were well on top at that stage.

The two tries just after half time were the killer imo.
Both should have been avoided.
Listened to Jason Demi? on radio Leeds after the game and he gave a very honest assessment of the game, said that they stole the match from us after we out played them all game, also he said the thing that shocked him most was that we out muscled them, something that no other side has done.

Gutted, as we should have won, but well done boys.

COYD

You deserved to win that today. I thought we made a lot of errors and had poor discipline.

That said I was impressed by your supposedly s***e pack, best set of forwards we've played against in the league so far this season.

As one poster said JD admitted we stole the game, but compared to previous seasons we play bad or outplayed we got a win whilst of no comfort to Donny fans I am happy. A good win on bookies today I bet cougars to win and Whitehaven to draw and no I did not get tips from Shaun Leaficon_smile.gif To top it all off bulls got hammered again.
