That is the best post I have ever read on this forum

Oh anyone would think you was losing money on the club the way you are complaining and this isn't the thread to be doing it on why not start 1 just for moaning gits and let everyone else talk about up and coming games that have actually been to watch games

Both the Workington and the Hunslet game threads have got side-tracked by other issues. I've been posting some replies on the sticky thread What Can The Club Do To Improve Attendances on similar issues to those that have been raised here.

I guess it'd be a nightmare for the moderators to lift all the posts and put them on a separate thread but returning back the original thread, I'm looking forward to Sunday's game. It is a big one in the context of our season. I'm sure a win would make us all feel a lot better.

I wonder how things will go with team selection and who might be coming over from Hull?

Hull seem to be a bit short on numbers in the pack as Mickey Paea is serving a one-match ban; Chris Green and Liam Watts are doubtful, along with Jordon Thompson, which leaves Josh Bowden and Feka Paleaasina as the only two fit props. Looks like they might need someone from us!



We need to get the strongest side possible out this weekend as the two points from this game could prove vital when we look at the league table at the end of the season.

So am I we need to dig deep though I think

Also depends how many dual reg/loan players Hunslet have from Leeds. Kaine hasn't played for them the last 2 outings and Grimshaw gone AWOL by the sounds.

Whilst i agree with a lot of comments made both positive and negative, for me our biggest issue is that we should have signed key players for key positions and not rely on dual reg. The dual reg should have been used to give us an extra bit of class but for us not to rely on what we get from Hull. I agree with signing some youngsters for the future but key players are needed now.
Fingers crossed for Sunday and hope we grab our first points of the season.

Well Hunslet had six Leeds players last game (two on loan) including Keinhorst who helped himself to two tries the last time I watched them up at their place.
We were 16-0 up after as many minutes and then they thrashed us.

With so many deficiencies in key positions, I don't see how we will beat them ... seriously.

Hull will have to lend something good to mitigate that.

Hunslet will be targeting this game and I expect Kain to return and haunt us again.

And I wish could predict otherwise ... but i'm calling it as I see it.

Jeez i get the feeling your the sort of chap who would moan winning the euromillions but finding out you had to share it with someone! joking aside we did get a tonking last time and currently our confidence looks very low, somebody said its not a must win but i disagree this result i feel will have a major bering on the season COYD

If you look at the games in all leagues each week it is generally the half backs that are the key men in the winning team and that's where we lose out. We don't have our own available and Hull don't seem to have any spare. Wilko will make a difference in attack if available alongside Cookie but regret after the way they beat us in the friendly we have a mountain to climb at a ground where we don't play well. Would love to be wrong though!

Your opinion about me has no bearing on how the Dons will do on Sunday and my opinion has no bearing either, and yes I have won the Euromillions ... only the other week I won £2.80
I was ecstatic!



The bookies are better judges, let's see what they say.

Any numpty can post optimistic nonsense.
The bookies don't deal in a subjective, emotional way.

Christ, I wish I could forecast a win .... I've forecasted all the losses so far.
And somehow people think that gives me pleasure ..... it doesn't, I wish I was wrong!

I think after watching the dons over the years we have every right to be glass half empty folk but while ever we have cookey as our coach we will improve, he is very important to our future plans. The standard of this league is unreal and whilst i think our recruiting has been poor were only a good win at hunslet away from kickstarting our season, remember we have been through much deeper darker times than this!
