Another bad day at the office, watched it on the BullsTV stream, we weren't at the races and hardly looked a threat, fell away badly in the 2nd half.
We need to draft in some players and I dont mean DR we need to make some signings, we note replaced Harris (where is the money for his transfer...was there any?)
We let Zac go so he could get more time (I think he should have been our first choice
.
We've lost Cross and Wilkinson long term (likely season ending)
All we've recruited is a prop on a months loan (that's now over June).
Time for our CEO and coach to stop faffing about and strengthen whats clearly a weakened side, we lack quality in the halfbacks without Howden.
We should comfortably beat Hemel next week, but everything isn't rosey and they victory will be a hollow on as we are not competitive against the top 8 in the division.
York seem to have recruited excellently, Hunslet have kicked on with an apparent "poor coach" we have not AGAIN...3-4th season in a row.. I've said it before Cooke failed when we didn't back him, Thornton failed when he wasn't backed, now Horne is following suit...
As Wanderer says, it's about managing expectations don't tell us were going all out for promotion when the team we field clearly isn't of a high enough standard and has an over-reliance on DR (see cheap players (FREE) from Hull). Compound that with the sale of a promising halfback, the release of a strong prop and an otherwise injury prone stand off...its not a recipe for success.
As a further point after some of my posts regarding the sale of Liam Harris, Carl Harl reached out to me and emailed me and assured me that any deal would be in the best interest of the Dons, I took him at his word on this and hoped we'd get something (players or decent sum of cash) in return for the remainder of the season....but I have seen no evidence at all about how that deal has benefitted the club, without without Harris going to Hull I think they'd have farmed the prop out to us anyhow. The only benefit I can see is that Club Doncaster has one less wage to pay.....
And I managed not to make it personal or criticise a individual player.....If we get an ITD this week I would like to directly ask Mr Hall, what was the deal for Liam Harris and what tangible benefit have the supporters of DRLFC seen?..I suspect it won't get asked or answered.
