Lets look at the last 3 matches;

Two late tries at Barrow add a touch of respectability to what was almost a hammering. We also scored first but in between conceded 34 points and Barrow also missed four kicks at goal.

We again score the last two tries against a poor Leigh side (probably the worst one I have ever witnessed) to grab a bonus point in a game we had thrown away either side of half time.

Again yesterday, we score the last two tries to avoid a hammering. Again as at Barrow we had scored first. At 32-6 we had been embarrassed at home by a side who as it stands today are likely to be in the bottom 3 or 4 of the Championship. Consolation if there is one, we only got knocked out of the Cup, it wasn't another league defeat.

We only started playing in the last 20 minutes against Dewsbury. Why don't we play two ten minute halves, see who comes out on top and then all go down the pub. We could all be in the bar by 6.40

How did Wayne Opie do yesterday in his first game for you?

To be honest there was only three or four players that stood out yesterday in my opinion and Wayne wasn`t one, all the others it was a bad day at the office.

Tony Millers view on the game rlfrom the Doncaster Starrl

Tony Millers report, with my little additions.

THE Dons are left to concentrate on retaining their Championship status after crashing out of the Carnegie Challenge Cup.
Tony Miller's depleted side lost 32-18 at home to Gateshead Thunder in yesterday's fourth round tie.

Head coach Miller said]Mark Castle ]and Matt Carbutt were both outstanding. Defensively Ryan Steen was very good and Ross Divorty took the ball in well all afternoon and produced a solid display."Was that in between the dropped balls and missed tackles, Miller also singled out full-back Andreas Bauer and scrum-half Paul Handforth.

He saidJosh Weedon switched to half-back it gave us a bit more shape.

"Towards the end of the game winger Gaz Carey got a bit more room and showed that he could be a threat."

, TM thinks 8 players in yesterdays game played well

In my opinion Weedon, Handforth, Carbutt and Castle played well for us,
but what is our opinion worth?

Can we start watching the game from the opposite stand. You obviously get a much better game from there.

But same result Wilf

We are the worst side in the division......we can ignore Toulouse.
Gateshead according to their coach also had a depleted side.
Something changes or we are going down.......that's after only two league games.

And here was I thinking our nadir was the Leigh game!!! Thankfully, I kept my money in my pocket yesterday and it seems it was a wise move on my part.

We look woefully out of our depth in this league unfortunately and I hate to say it. God help us when Widnes and Halifax cross our paths!
I have never coached or played the game but I'm sure performances couldn't be much worse if a complete novice like me were in charge.

I fear I'll be making the trip to the Jungle more often this season just so I can remember what running the angles, supporting the ball carrier, completing sets of six and team rugby looks like.

Sorry to hear we haven't hit rock bottom yet. We need a clearout of the dross before we are thoroughly embarrassed in the very near future.

I bought a Season Ticket as the Club were almost begging people to at one stage and I normally get one.

£120 for 15 games (excellent value at £8.00 per game).

But once purchased, it was announced that in fact you only get 13 games. Ok, still not too bad value (works out at £9.23 per game) until the Club then announce it only costs £10 per match!

Virtually no point in purchasing a Season Ticket and now you are faced with the choice of continuing to go (having paid up front) or walking away and losing money. No option to stop going and stop paying sadly.

I suppose as S-O said, at least you have the option to walk out at whatever point you wish!

You and many others it seems - only 458 paying customers.

I thought and have probably said that there was a perception that there were only about 550 to 600 die-hards now but clearly some of those have either gone or are selective as to when they attend. Performances (and results) like the last couple won't bring people back and those results certainly won't attract new supporters.

Let's hope the powers-that-be are aware of the situation and deal with it urgently, otherwise that number will diminish still further.

Have to say despite the justified negative stuff that if we can get back, fit & well - Alex Benson, Michael Hayley Craig Lawton, Shaun Leaf and China the side takes on another dimension. It may be too little too late but it could just stem us getting whitewashed this season.
