There have been some cracking games on SKY this season, Bradfords comeback win over Wigan last weekend and Wigans earlier victory over Warrington being just a couple of examples.

Rugby Union Internationals are a big social occaision , SL attendances compare favourably with Premiership matches .

Any way lets get back to the thread !

Will be interesting to see how many SL loan players the Scorpions have on duty today.

I think TM will make a few changes today !

Bet365 now giving the Dons 12 points start (10/11). The same firm now have us as 10/3 to win.

Fair point about the Scorpions squad. The score line today IMO is irrelevant the Dons have to have a structured game and play with some desire. We look like we will struggle to match most sides physically and that is not the fault of the youngsters out there, but I hope that some of the more experienced players lead by example.

They have 4 on dual registration and 3 on loan. There was some talk (unconfirmed officially) that the three loanees (Anthony Blackwood, Ben Flower and Jordan James) won't be available today.

less than 300 for a game..people of doncaster dont deserve a pro team if i was chairman i would say whats the point wasting my time..

... hope you didn't sign up merely to post that.

prat be gone. I came up on the scorps coach and was good to see some die hards willing to part with £12 for what was essentially a nothing game. We are new to the comp some might have seen this as a win for you but it's hardly going to draw in a crowd was it? We had a free bus and couldn't fill it up which is also terrible does that mean we dint deserve a team either?

Chubbs, what do you mean by a nothing game , it meant a lot to us at Doony . Or did you mean it was a poor game. May be lost in the traslation

It was lost in translation it was a terrible game the only benefit was every got game time and walked off the pitch. Oh and you guys got 2 scores Which has gotta be a boost

Bloody hell, if you thought that was terrible you are spoilt rotten. Too the gallant few hundred it was a universe away from the previous Saturday. I enjoyed it, I thought The Scorpions looked fit and well drilled, their play of the ball at times was from the University of Rush but they look to be a decent outfit who will be shoehorned into The Championship within two years.

It wasn't a great quality match but there was no lack of effort from either side, thought Jordan James had a poor game especially by his standards positionally and some of the passes, ddint think the Cru boys made a huge difference. The guy that impressed me most was our right back James?? ,think he was the one who scored a great breakaway try in the second half. Good to see some improvement from the second half of the Workington game especially given the high penalty count needlessly wasting possession. Doncaster saw plenty of the ball , they just didn't seem to know what to do with it and when they did were met with a resolute defence.

Still, must be some improvement for you guys on Siddal (though they're probably not far off Championship standard) 30 years on you still seem to be living 'Another Bloody Sunday' .Both clubs have to aclimatise to this level, as long as we see the lessons learnt both on and off the field from the past , I'd consider that success, however long it takes!
Obviously you need to get out of the Keepmoat and your fans to keep the faith with the club , but how that happens remains to be seen.
