Quote: Moonlight "Wow, now I know why it's not easy to post your opinions. That is harsh on Whitehaven, no blinkers, no sentiment involved we looked dead and buried at half time and I said so to a few
I don't think it's harsh.

Bearing in mind that had they not had 9 points deducted at the beginning of the season they would be
in second place on 41. I was expecting a much sterner test. Credit to Whitehaven, they are a big, handy
team: very mobile. But I thought they lacked direction in the middle. Infact, at times, I thought they looked
clueless. Lots of one man rugby. Then when they did start to throw it about nothing stuck. How many
knock-ons? How many forward passes? I thought at half time that it was anybodys game.

Then we came out and scored a quick try. "We were taking control" I thought to myself "we're gonna win this!" At this point Whitehaven were breathing through their ar*es.

Then they scored. They got a visible lift from this and at the same time you could see our heads drop.
They got a second wind and were starting to run the show. There seemed to be no openings for Donny.
We were struggling to get back into the game. But the Dons stuck with it, tackling there hearts out. And,
crickey, were they tackling! Those big lads took some dropping. Then lo and behold, in the last 20 minutes
or so, Whitehaven started to make the errors which so characterised their game today. And when they did
Doncaster were in just the right place to make them pay. And they paid!

The Dons gave us a demonstration of dogged persistance today. Something that was missing from the
previous match at Keighley.

Whitehaven, for me, had a nightmare. Nothing went right for them. They'll be back, I'm sure about that.
But today was not their day.

Quote: Donny "I think its another case of us managing to grind out whats required over 80 minutes, instead of shutting down and conceding daft tries, as we have in the past.

This seasons Donny side, whilst devoid of the major household names of Championship rugby, has been one of the most efficiently drilled, and definitely the fittest sides we have turned out in recent years.

A lot of praise has to go to Tony Miller, and his coaching staff, but we have to praise Carl, John, Steve and the other owners, for the way in which they have let Tony work. In the past, it would have been easy for us to make a kneejerk reaction and sack people, but given a chance, and the backing, Tony has produced a cracking side.

Should we not get promotion this season, I won't despair, we'll give it a bloody good crack next year.'"
agree entirely donny good post

Quote: askernlad "did we watch the same game.i think they only had 4 or 5 attacks in the game.ronnie managed to give them 2 tries.one was a blantant crossing that everyone but ronnie saw,and one from 2 forward passes 1 marginal but the 2nd nearly half a yard.there defence was good i will grant you,but the result was the right one,the dons deserved the win.then again i was wearing rose coloured specs and blinkers with a blue and gold scarf with matching hat and handbag.COYD.

Come On You Dons !!!!:5573.jpg



I thought it was one of our best performances of the season.We were well disciplined , solid defence and asked the questions going forward just what we have been lacking of late.

A big well done to all the lads and all at the club.Lets hope for a repeat against Worky next week!
