Just watched it and good to hear about the Club Doncaster aspect and the backing they gave in regarding getting the Visa sorted. Well done to all concerned.

I agree with Moonlight. This is the type of thing that could have got away from us had we not got Club Doncaster.

Baz,

Could you please forward these questions to Carl and see if we can get Gary Thornton's views In The Dugout please:

I think we need Gary Thornton to appear on In The Dugout. Here are seven questions for him:

Q1) Having seen the pack beaten in the last two matches, do you feel we have the strength and power to compete up-front with the better sides in the league?

Q2) Why is the discipline so poor? Yellow cards for backchat and late tackles are very unprofessional. Do we discipline players for such behaviour?

Q3) In the York game, did it not cross the mind of any of the coaches to suggest that in the second half we kick off into the sun? It was a nightmare seeing the ball coming out of the sinking sun, as Matty Welham knows all too well from what happened to him in the first half.

Q4) Chopping and changing the side on a weekly basis cannot be a good thing. Should we be aiming to get three Hull players on long-term loan deals to help with selection consistency?

Q5) I believe part of the reason why we give away so many penalties is because we're constantly on the back foot due to being over-powered by the opposition. We have to resort to non-legal means to slow them down. We could help ourselves by making sure the third man in the tackle takes the legs instead of also going high. Will we be working on this? At times, the York players were still able to keep moving forwards even when we had three men in the tackle.

Q6) Having conceded 94 points in the last two matches, supporters don't just have alarms bells ringing, their heads are exploding. Having seen four competitive matches, where do you think we will finish in the league?

Q7) What would you say to supporters who are thinking of giving up on the team after what has happened in the last 15 months?

Baz

Can you kindly ask why the club posts all its news on Total RL fans forum - which is not used by Dons fans to make posts when this site is seemingly overlooked by the club including Carl himself.

Thanks.

Tut tut DM ... Carl didn't like that one!

Oh heck, I shall go and sit in the corner with the dunce's cap on!

I'm no coaching expert and would never claim to be but I've been watching rugby for a fair few years and know a little bit about the basics. I thought the question was a very valid one. The objective is to make life as difficult for the opposition as possible, kicking into the shade seemed like a poor choice.

The issue this raises for me is that if we can't seemingly get the very basics right, how can we, as supporters, have confidence that the more difficult things (the things supporters like me don't understand) are being done right?

If Carl had replied by saying that they'd identified weaknesses in York's right side to deal with the high ball, so they thought it was still the better of the two options, I could respect and accept that decision.

I've always had a lot of respect for Carl and sent him personal emails of support in the past. I'm not the sort to take my ball home. Differences of opinions are what makes the world go round but I think Carl was wrong to dismiss my question and treat me the way he did.

I sympathise.
He threw a strop because you pointed out how unobservant the Dons can be.
