The player in question has been offered a deal by a super league club for 2012 season but wants to come to us

Welcome to the second episode of 'I'm a celebrity get me into there'.

''We're heading into camp with the results of the viewers votes.''

Paul Cooke .....................................''It's not you!''

A N Other .......................................''It might be you!''

Nothing about this on workington's site and its not exactly something you'd keep under your hat is it? besides they signed peter lupton and resigned that stack bloke of theirs so find it hard to imagine them getting them both although I admit it would be scary for us if they did.

Thanks for the extra info Chunkster ... much appreciated.

That news ticks a few more of my boxes!



I was having a spin around the Super League websites yesterday to see if I could find any possible alternatives to Paul Cooke. I was struggling to come up with anyone who might realistically want to come to the Dons. I found a couple who might [iunrealistically[/i want to come!



After Chunskster's news, the situation looks even more encouraging. If a guy is prepared to make such a sacrifice to play for the mighty Dons we really should be prepared to back him.

Round up all Doncaster residents for Tuesday's meeting!

im sorry but find it hard to believe that anybody would turn down superleague to play championship 1. unless weve offered silly money

I can only assume it is someone who has been here before or was born here and wants to represent the club before they retire? either that or they can make more money part time because of that riduculous rule about having no more than 20 players on over 20k (is that rule still in place in super league?)

The name I've had mentioned to me this morning is very interesting, would be one hell of a coup!

And he hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

Although I must stress my source isn't brilliant.

We have not offered massive money and the player says money is not the deceiding factor

We're all guessing at this stage but given what we know, maybe the player sees a future in coaching, realises that he will have to ply his trade in the lower leagues as a coach before possibly graduating to be a Super League coach, and wants to get some first hand experience of playing at this level.

We're all motivated to do things for different reasons. Thank goodness this guy seems motivated to want to play for the Dons!

Chunkster ... don't know whether you can reveal this, but will the player concerned be at the meeting?

I think Sean Long wants to get into coaching?
