Gotta agree. He's nothing but average IMO.
Never rated him and always boggled as to why people did and evidently still do.

But Phil Clarke, Steve Mac and Paul Medley think he's good, so that must be gospel.

Whitehead, Olbison, Addy are all streets ahead of him.

you really are stupid arent you ?
liek osmeone said he ca back from an injurythat could have potentially ended his career.
Paul deacon from 2006 was not as he was because he nearley DIED with his cheek fracture.
it takes b*lls to play and by the sound of you you havent touched a rugby ball in your life.
average eam ye but he is a good player.
if he was so average then i wonder why saints, warrington and wigan were after him..hmmmmm
they say theres method behind the madness but your staright up crazy mate

You added a new persona, Mike?

What a ridiculous post. The truth is that everyone was chasing Donaldson's signature as a schoolboy, since he was considered by many good judges, including the scouts at Wigan and at Leeds, to be the top schoolboy talent in the country. This, I would suggest, is top out of many, many thousands of young RL players. And he showed plenty of that rich promise before his serious injury.

Only a real dullard could consider a lad named as the top schoolboy talent in the country "very average". But hey don't let the facts, much less the opinions of the country's top talent scouts etc. deflect you from your dotty convictions. I am sure you know better than any of them.

Getting rid of Crookes when he's just starting to come good is a brilliant idea. Get rid of a teenager who still doesn't have that much SL experience yet too. No idea why you're not coaching a SL side.

so we are on about how good a schoolboy he was and everyone was chasing him,they may well of done but can you see any of the top 8 rushing to sign him now, and please dont all be saying he would walk into any team cos he wont ,he is average,this is his 3rd season in the first team,yes he has had a bad injury but saw nothing before he got injured to suggest hes gonna be anything other than average and im afraid we have too many players who fit that bill

as for crookes,what do people see in him,he runs a few metres from acting half,granted bulls dont pass to wingers,but again hes been in first team squad for 3 years and seen absolutely nothing to suggest hes any good

and in answer to some numptys question, i have played for a lot of years at a very high standard in the national conference league, so i actually do know my stuff

if bulls wants to stay 9th and 10th these are the type of players we will be needing

Think we all know who the biggest numpty is on this thread.

remember donaldson got picked against catalan cos sibbitt and langley were injured

seems mick potter thinks the same as me

not like you very knowledgable numptys on here

This one is not me Adey, but I dont disagree with him on this one.
