Agree with Haven's losses being respectable and they do have some decent strike players so a repeat of sunday and we're in trouble, but i do think our lads would of given their heads a wobble and see sunday as a perfect opportunity to right the wrongs, I'd have the mark at Don's-8pts and if so i will be investing in that.

Having watched the Halifax game highlights I'm struggling to raise a glimmer of hope for the Haven encounter. Happy to be wrong but I think we have been found out, a side that was allegedly in the doldrums just made us look bloody awful.

Next week's highlights will just see the ball being touched down, Wilf! The key play is often the one before the try is scored - no such luck on the highlights.
We were feeling great after the nilling of Batley, now we're wondering if we're not as good as we thought we might be. No matter which team you are, if you're not on your game, you can get beaten in this league. I hoping it was an off day on Sunday, not a 'normal day'. We'll know more after Sunday.

Yep, a good game to 'bounce back' from last Sunday. I hope Connor Robinson is fit and starts. The lads will be hurting and desperate to get back to winning ways. It should be a good game. I hope the fans turn out in numbers with the special ticket prices and don't stay away because of last Sunday.

Squad

Burns, Ferres and Wilde in for Matagi (suspended), Holdstock (injured) and Hepi (injured)

Just read that Hepi is out for the season with a ACL injury. That's a sod for him given his previous injuries. Hope he make a full recovery

Talking about handicaps we beat dewsbury by 26 and Wakefield are only being asked to cover 40 tonight, i really like the look of that

Go call K&C. Wakey won 56-0. I hope you won a few quid.

£110 to win £210 so a little bit of profit (pays towards the france trip very shortly). I think watching games in the 'lower' leagues gives you a headstart when bookies price certain games up, every now and then you find something that stands out.

Nice one!

With regards to today's Dons game, it seems really hard to call. How much will we miss Matagi and Hepi? How much will we benefit from Greg Burns coming back and the inclusion of Nathan Wilde who is a good player at Super League level?

I'm a bit worried that we've not really looked at our best in attack so far. We can't afford to miss opportunities against teams like Whitehaven. If we defend as well as we did against Batley, it'll give us a good platform to build on. If we don't, we could find ourselves under pressure.

Looking forward to this one...

Dons -12pts which for me is reasonable, we're at home and looking to put things right from last Sunday, haven are definitely no mugs but it's a handicap that doesn't entice me so just a watching brief today COYD

Dons -12 doesn't look very attractive at all. I hope they're right!
