Let's hope there's no bad weather to get in the way of this one.

I was out walking the dog last Sunday afternoon when we were due to play Leigh and could just imagine how cold it would have been at the Keepmoat.

That reminds me, I need to get down to the Keepmoat sometime this week to pay the extras on my Season Ticket.

Looking forward to Sunday's games - it always a challenge getting to know what the new players look like!

Can't you just turn up early and pay off the rest of your season ticket on game day this weekend rather than making a special trip?

I only ask as that is currently my plan

Yes.

DM tempts fate again ....
He's going for 3 out of 3 cancellations.
lol

Thanks

You're probably right Adam. We could pay on Sunday. I'm usually quick out of the blocks when it comes to these things and I'd been meaning to go down on a few occasions and got side-tracked with work issues.

I'm only 5 minutes drive away so it's no hassle making a special trip really but I suppose it makes sense for most people to pay on Sunday.

Don't say that S/O.

I've been looking forward to Sunday for ages.

Hey, if the weather's bad, we could always ask Hally's Hot Air to ask Carl to talk to the pitch. If HHA is right, the pitch would be thawed in no time!

Your bang out of order! the lowest anyone can stoop is saying things behind the back of someone not present and I find what you said as hurtful, a pint of lager on sunday at the keepmoat and all that pain goes away is it a deal?

Yeah, but how would anyone know you?
You won't tell us who you are.
Will you be wearing a poppy, high heels, fishnet stockings and be parading in the restaurant bar?

You get two pints of lager if Carl works his magic on the pitch and we witness the frost rising from the ground as he speaks!

If we got Carl and his nemesis working on the frozen pitch in tandem, we could defrost it and fertilize it all at the same time.
lol

Ask me nicely and I'll think about it

All he needs to do is open the door in his office and tell us about more quality signings we've just missed out on and the pitch will be perfect!

No Howden or Bower included .

So we've got Lane on Loan from Hull and sent him to Hull under dual reg

Does Howden really exist anymore?

Yes. Travelled through it many a time on the way to Scarborough/Filey/Brid.




Weather looks a proper negative for tomorrow unfortunately.

Beautiful British weather!

16-22 final score.
Crowd 421
Half-time draw 201.

The game?
OK.
Most of what London got we gifted it to them.
Our response to their restarts was shockingly bad.
Mind you the weather was numbing.
Why weren't players wearing gloves?
Steptoe and Son.

The stand out players for us were Charlie Martin and Connor Scott.

The other imports like Richard Owen and Liam Harris who are supposed to be special were far from that, but not terrible.

The Hull imports just earned their corn without busting a gut.

I thought we looked a well organised side and we competed for the entire game.
But we tailed off a bit in the second half.

No trees were torn up today ... but given the weather I am fairly pleased.

Well that will have certainly blown the cobwebs away, and some promising signs for the season ahead but we still look quite small upfront and tacklers need to take the legs as well as locking the ball. London made far ok many yards at every tackle because their legs were free.
When you think their second try came from a blatant forward pass, the third try came from one of a number of handling errors by Harris (thought his kicking game was excellent, pity about his poor handling skills), and London's fourth try came off the back of a row of silly unnecessary penalties, we have cause for optimism.
I now not everyone's favourite, but I was pleased to see Aaron Jones-Bishop have a decent run out, he looked quite solid on the right hand side.

I said you would be pleased with Connor Scott and Ross Osbourne (didnt play today) as they both had really strong games for Hull FC against HKR.
Dont know what happened but Jordan Lane,Ross Osbourne, and Jack Downs all played for Hull today when they were originally supposed to play for Doncaster today.

Good point and in addition to this, why is Horne playing Liam Harris at scrum half when his best position is stand off? Surely you want what you think is your best team out on the park. Why doesn't Horne come on ITD and tell fans what is going on.
