I was wrong about Waterman, he was brilliant at fullback.

He certainly was, I thought the Dons completely controlled the game apart from a 10 minute spell at the end. Deserved motm for Waterman, but all played really well, brilliant

Very well done guys, you all deserved the MOTM. How sweet does this look news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 487547.stm

Cooke got MoM on the TV. Noble was loving Robbo in the first half

Fantastic game and don't think the ref was onsided, what I will say is some of workington's vocal support was over the top, I was wacked round the head by some drung erk with a stuffed toy sheep from behind, which made me spill mu beer, and threatened in the bar by some youth with glasses on young enough to be almost my grandson, having said that if he was my Grandson he would have got a clip but because he was a visiting supporter I told him to watch his mouth and walked off.

Well done boys , we out bullied there big pack . Never seen Cookie do as many tackles. Waterman deserved MoM , but Castle & Robbo both had big games. Sanderson deserves a mention also , well they were all outstanding .

Their gameplan for a lot of the game was just to run at Cooke..

A fairly ineffective tactic then - in fairness to him I've never seen him do a 'Holroyd' and shirk his defensive duties. Whenever the big lads come at him he fronts up and takes it.

He impressed me again tonight, constantly pulling the defensive line around.

And he had a 'quiet' word with Waterman when started getting lippy with one of the Town guys.

Top performance all round. Well done to all.

Glad to see a bit of humble pie being eaten on here tonight, particularly by Stand Offish with reference to Waterman at full back. Nowt wrong with that we all get stuff wrong occassionally, but he didn't put a foot wrong all night and was easily the best player on the park, although Sanderson, Castle and even moreso Robinson were standout tonight. Defensively the entire squad was superb and I personally was disappointed (as I hope the players are) when they scored as I don't think they deserved it and nilling them would have sent out an even stronger message to the Championship next season.
Paul Cooke had his worst game to date, and I say that based on only one part of his usual performances-his kicking in open play today was crap compared to his usual near perfection. Their gameplan of running at Cooke (as mentioned earlier) is strange as despite being the best half back in the division by a country mile he's also 6' 5" and about 18 & 1/2 st so hardly an easy target!
Our only attacking flaw was not constantly attacking the woeful Mark Calderwood who even at his peak?? was a poor player when it came to defence. He couldn't tackle the Sunday dinner or catch pox in a Thai brothel!

Happy days when all we have to grumble about is not nilling the 2nd placed team in the league!

The Dons tackling won them the game tonight and I think it showed in the last quarter. I mean big lads running against you all game, it has got to have an effect and I think we were very tired at the end and Worky got on top.
Luckily they didn't get a bonus point. That would not have been a fair reflection of the game.
But only desperate tackling prevented it.

The ref was a jobsworth. I am sorry, I try not to criticise refs, but he heaped some pressure on us that was totally unwarranted.
Yet Worky were laying on all game relatively unpunished.

Yet I wish them well, particularly in their game against Barrow.

best performance of the season so far in the biggest game of the season so far, 1-17 outstanding but I must admit when I saw that Waterman was full back I said not good, he soon proved me wrong did not drop a thing, always in the right position and deserved his try, disapointed when they scored as we had defended superbly, One more point and we are goin up ONE HAPPY DONS FAN
