looking forward to the game.
from comments on the Eagles match we should have a chance of
some points if we play as well plus we have got players coming back
but who would you leave out?

I didnt go to Sheffield but I would say Tony will know who needs a rest & who can handle 2 games in 4 days
I am looking forward to the match also .

Is Paul Cooke playing ?

We will probably know when we get to the ground .

very much looking forward to the game. Before the sheffield game i thought if we got anything out of the next three league games it would be a bonus, well we got a point at sheffield , so on home turf, i am hoping for at least the same. The team will probably, if some are available , be rotated. Not sure who is ready to come back, cooke was ill, hopefully he's over it, and would be nice to welcome back waterman.

Out of all the players available we have the basis of a really good side.
The players that came in against Sheffield made a big difference and deserve to come into contention for a place.
Halifax are the top side in this division at the moment and only our strongest side will compete.
So to just play a rotation side would not be the right thing in my book.
I would play my best players in their best positions end of.

Good news regarding the returning players . Interesting to see what the crowd will be hopefully the biggest crowd of the season so far.

hopefully yes

The Dons are absolute shiite, and if Halifax score first I'm walking.

Dons score.
34-6

Well I stopped, talk about Jekyll and Hyde.
That side was totally not up to speed to take on Halifax.
They showed what they could do in the second half and in a way took the p/ss out of themselves in the process.
No bonus point!!!!!!!!!!

was like watching two different sides . thought we were going to sneak the bonus point

Well, first half I think we contributed to 5 out of their 6 tries giving away stupid penalties & knocking on.
Halifax are a good side but we didnot respect the ball.

We played better in the 2nd haf & took charge when Fax were down to 12 men.

I'm sorry but something has got to change; we can't keep making excuses; we played well, , unfortunate, good effort, strong performance etc etc etc.

We are second bottom of the league and no signs that we will not drop further! There has to be changes soon or forget staying in this league.
