Not our best performance but a solid win. A good defensive display again and i dont think the win was ever in doubt. A couple of things that really annoyed me; firstly the Gateshead tactics were obviously to commit 3/4 defenders into ever tackle and slow the play of the ball down. Well that worked a treat as the ref allowed this to happen at every play of the ball, i lost count of the number of times an additional defender came into the tackle when it was complete. Secondly, what the hell has happened to Mike Coady? When he went to Leeds i was dissapointed as i thought he was going to be a big assett to the Dons. Since we've had him on loan he has been totally inaffective and his bodly language is awful, todays game was a case in point.

Anyway, another solid win. Next week we will need to have much more intensity to push Swinton.

Potts will be available, and china should be back aswell. it was potts 21st and been to the grand prix, this was booked a long time ago. credit to tony for letting players have weeks off, with how much they get paid it is right to do so

Craig Robinson is a must for the 17 next Sunday also.

I couldn't agree more, what a gem he is.

In general, what we have in the present Dons is a team of hard working individuals who can present an absolutely fantastic defence. There is little doubt about that ... Miller has created a great defensive unit. I personally like that because you are in control if you can keep the opposition restricted scorewise.
BUT and it's a big BUT, we are not that clever in attack. We have been lucky with our two centres recently, Crisper and Neverson are great, and they have been bailing us out.
But our wingers? Sanderson and China apart they are a big disappointment. They don't come in field and share the workload. If they don't get the ball on a plate, they don't want to know and more to the point they are not scoring tries.
It's like they don't want to be there.

well done again lads for the latest victory

Swinton should be a cracker of a game...

COYD !

Coady played for Leeds in the 9's comp which I think was midweek.
Have to agree that does not seem to be the player he was.
