Doncaster fan visiting, I believe you are the 2nd best team we've played, in fact on a par with Leigh, the side we fielded yesterday haven't played together this season, and we have recruited personel in the last 2 weeks, and we looked 100% better than in any other game, I am confident we will go a winning run shortly and maybe put your performance into perspective. I believe a few of your squad were expecting an easier time of it and got caught off guard, especially when Mat Groat and Mitch Clark came off the bench.

With what you have described. You should be pleased with what's happening at Donny. Your team put 36 past us, the only team to do that in the Championship is Leigh. We will meet again in 6 weeks so should be interesting.

I hope you had brown sauce.

The last time a Bradford fan went to watch their team at Donny there was all kinds of fuss.

Y'know, I was only thinking on the way to Donny yesterday that, whilst I could remember going there a few times in the past, the last occasion was so far back in the mists of time, I really couldn't remember where the game was played. It was so far back it must have been Tattersfield but I can't remember which other grounds they've used since then.

I know people keep mentioning giving OB a rest,

but is it just me that thinks Halafihi is a waste of a bench spot ???

Everytime he comes on he looks knackered before he even does anything, pretty weak at tackling & not very quick from dummy half.

At first i thought it may be down to lack of game time but other players that come in dont look that bad

The trouble is, because of the silly rules about age limits on the reserve grade, Halafihi isn't getting any game time. Nor are any of the other players who don't make the 17 on Sunday afternoons.
It's because the RFL are trying to force clubs to spread their talent around through loans and dual reg deals rather than allow teams to run a proper reserve team.

Good point!

You have just given me (yet another) reason why I really don't like the people who "administrate" our game

Tbh didn't think halafihi looked that bad. Wasn't really sure what position he was playing as Pitts and were in centres by time he came on and obrien stayed on. Seemed like OB and Vila were alternating between hooking and loose forward.

It's not been reserve grade since 2010 it's just a purely a under 19's competition.

We need to bring back A teams.

There's one for ya

Agree totally, they should never have been abandoned imo.

BA could be a useful impact prop. We could have problems getting him on a plane to away games at Catalans tho.

Sorry to bring this topic back from the dead, but I am on a hunt for a picture taken post match.

Was anyone on here in The Railway pub (next to Doncaster rail station), after the match? You were sat near the door and enforced a photograph opportunity upon me.

If it was you and you still have it, I would really appreciate a copy of the pic.

Cheers
