Good half backs seem to be at a premium , do not know enough about the young players at Hull who may be made available.

I think we have a creative play issue & outside back issues, Jemmo has also indicated we need a half back or an outside back. GT has indicated that some players have not come up to scratch in the pre season games.

Lets see how our lads go on Sunday behind what could well be a strong pack !

And IMO thats the key. We have a proper bunch of forwards (especially for this level) it will be interesting to see how the back get on. As long as we do not leave it too late like last year when we had a half back problem and there was no one left from the DR pool to be able to help out.

Good point, we had a half back problem pre season last year , it seems the halves we have are available .

All of the squad will feature in either the Keighley game or the Challenge Cup match according to GThttps://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/doncaster-dons/dons-can-hit-the-ground-running-thornton-1-8387385rl

26 that could mean Brad England is included , can you still play trialists other than in friendlies !

No disrespect to Myton Warriors I think GT should put out what he thinks is his strongest 17 for the Keighley game.

He definitely should; I don't agree with jut arbitrarily playing the rest in the challenge cup either

Very inexperienced, think both are 18/19, we have Abdul on loan at Rovers and both HTW and Dean have left, so don't think you will get a halfback. Our reserves have a game on Monday. So you might not get anyone, Steve Michaels might be an option if you need a back.

Hope we do not use Dual Reg for the League Cup & I do not think Hull will want to have players cup tied by playing them v Myton.

Give our players a chance I say .

Agreed, game time so close to the start of the season is IMO vital. These are not friendlies to 'fan a' about with.

3 ex Doncaster players.

Is it too much to ask for our 19 man squad to be put on the Official Site , the club have to submit them to the RFL 48 hours before the game ,so why not on the web site .

Elation or deflation?
