Thanks, kind of makes you wonder why he would go awol

One problem with our level of the game is that some players can earn more in their day job than playing RL. Without knowing his particular personal situation it is not rare for a young man, possibly with a young family and responsibilities to get to a situation where they can earn more away from the game and so drift out. Having said that, you'd expect them to give the club notice of this.

Also sometimes a players heart just isn't in it any more, it can't be a good game to play if you're not feeling it!

True, but like you say you would have expected him to give the club a heads up

Aiden Faal & Jimmy Walker on Sky last night playing for Dewsbury at Hunslet .

Gareth Handford, Mark Castle and Andy Speake all are part of Frystons BARLA National Cup Final-bound team.

Fryston, 29-10 Semi Final winners over Wigan St. Pats will meet Sharlston Rovers in the May 28 Final at Fylde RUFC after Sharlston's 22-21 victory over Queens for whom Aaron Henry was a tryscorer.

Henry .... he could have been special.
What a shame.

Henry would have been better option at full back in Butters absence than anyone on the books at present.

Anyone notice Oulton Raiders result from the weekend?

Oulton Raiders 114 Millom 0



Tommy Griffiths (6 tries) and Scott MacDonald (4 tries) scoring half of the Raiders 20 tries.

Mark Castle has joined York City Knights for the 2011 season.

Kirk Netherton has joined Featherstone Rovers on loan from Widnes Vikings for the remainder of the 2011 season.

Richard Pell has left Gateshead Thunder .

Ash Williams scores for Gateshead

A result that puts the Dons in the bottom three incidentally.
Although with one or two games in hand, it is still unbelievable.
Expect that position to be reinforced next Sunday at Workington.


Deja Vu anyone?
This is a side that can beat anyone on its day, seriously ... but erm ... doesn't.
Mind you Oldam have Swinton away then us away, so barring upsets, they will be in the bottom three in a fortnight.

Andreas Bauer plays for Whitehaven today.

... as mentioned on todays match thread Ade Adebisi and Austin Aggrey score tries in London Skolars win over Rochdale.

Wow ... never been at Donny though despite a 5-year contract (probably the longest ever offered in RL).

I'll shut up and leave him to rub his body parts though.

At least you know where his kick offs will land...

Wayne Green agrees release from Gateshead Thunder and in training with the Dons to regain match-fitness.

Dons legend David (MARRA) Towle at the game today.

Kyle Briggs gone on loan to Harlequins.

He'll be back at Donny in no time.

Team up with Luke again could be interesting.

It needs to be because Quins are seriously shoite.
