Managed to watch most of the game from a 'not so legal' source. A few observations;

a) Fattest Dons team I have ever seen in my lifetime. Both a weakness and a strength. Strength when it comes to games like today which was won around the ruck, will become a weakness higher up the leagues.

b) Mark Calderwood was a joke today. Worst of all the ex-super league players on show.

c) I am not neutral but I must say the ref was quite biased towards us tonight.

d) I also learned that the top 4 go up yet there is still a play-off system. Is this right? I only half caught it on the commentary? I think the RFL generally run the sport very well but they must of come up with this on the back of a fag packet.

I was wrong about Waterman, he was brilliant at fullback.

He certainly was, I thought the Dons completely controlled the game apart from a 10 minute spell at the end. Deserved motm for Waterman, but all played really well, brilliant

Very well done guys, you all deserved the MOTM. How sweet does this look news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 487547.stm

Cooke got MoM on the TV. Noble was loving Robbo in the first half

Fantastic game and don't think the ref was onsided, what I will say is some of workington's vocal support was over the top, I was wacked round the head by some drung erk with a stuffed toy sheep from behind, which made me spill mu beer, and threatened in the bar by some youth with glasses on young enough to be almost my grandson, having said that if he was my Grandson he would have got a clip but because he was a visiting supporter I told him to watch his mouth and walked off.

Well done boys , we out bullied there big pack . Never seen Cookie do as many tackles. Waterman deserved MoM , but Castle & Robbo both had big games. Sanderson deserves a mention also , well they were all outstanding .

Their gameplan for a lot of the game was just to run at Cooke..

A fairly ineffective tactic then - in fairness to him I've never seen him do a 'Holroyd' and shirk his defensive duties. Whenever the big lads come at him he fronts up and takes it.

He impressed me again tonight, constantly pulling the defensive line around.

And he had a 'quiet' word with Waterman when started getting lippy with one of the Town guys.

Top performance all round. Well done to all.
