Our line defence this year is probably the best i've ever seen it.

I can only support what others have already said, a fantastic performance in very difficult circumstances (illness, injuries, continual position changes etc).

The effort, enthusiasm and team spirit was outstanding, the first 40 minutes being near-perfect and the second 40 being a true test of character which was passed with flying colours.

Gutted for Aaron Dobek although speaking to Tony Miller yesterday evening he indicated that the injury may not be as bad as initially though (he was still waiting for news on Mick Butterfield at that stage).

The downside for me was an attendance of only 493 ... performances like that deserved to be witnessed by many more of the public of Doncaster.

To the players and coaching staff
(the ale tasted particularly good last night )

i missed last two games as was in the carribean but my mate kept me up to date via txt sounds like it was a great performance by tony's men young kids but play like men cant wait for rochdale to make it 4 from 4.

Stanky reckons he has got the best centre pairing in the league in Damien Reid and Wayne McHugh.
McHugh got a load of tries for Hunslet against us.
Don't let him past because you won't catch him ... he's faaaaaaaast.

Outstanding in every department!
I think a big well done needs to go out to Tony Miller. Last season he took a lot of stick from certain quarters, but i think with a full pre season behind him and a more settled team (assembled on a limited budget) he is showing what he can do.
Well done to everyone at the club!
We just need a few more clicks on the turnstile....

We were superb yesterday. Defence was top drawer and I thought our lads kept their heads well discipline wise as Dirty Worky tried everything to upset them.Also a great try from Kez which no one else has mentioned , it was a great solo effort!!

Well done lads keep it up!
Just hope we get some bodies back for next week.

interview with Nev about yesterdays game on the official site, i'd put a link on but computers hate me.

rlIt's hererl

Hope he's right about the injuries not being too serious.

www.timesandstar.co.uk/sport/wor ... r-1.823870 very good article. and oops the time keeping gets a mention. but yeh we cocked up mega style sunday. a shout was made that we were 4 out, we thought 4 minutes short so we moved it on 4 minutes, wrong way. comments have been made to have the clock turned off. what do fans feel, do they like the time on or not. i realise we cant repeat the mistake. i think that maybe we should stop rewinding it if were told its wrong, just keep it running, and at 40, just wipe the time all together, with a message, this isnt the official timekeeping clock.

I wish I'd said that a few seasons ago! Either let the clock run and don't stop it, or turn it off

I'm unsure of what you are you on about.
Are you saying that the total time the game was played was wrong?
Surely not?
I thought that what had happened was that at eighty minutes you turned the clock back the number of minutes of stoppage time, such that when eighty minutes showed again the game was over. That's what happened isn't it?
Perfectly understandable as a solution.

Turning the clock off to me is an absolute no-no.
You should be able to stop that clock and start it at the refs say so and when it says eighty minutes the game is over.
Now if you can't do that, get somebody in to enable you to stop and start that clock.

If not, why can't you announce the stoppage time and restart the clock or let it run, people can add stoppage time to 80 minutes?

Can the clock count backwards?

It would seem not as the suggestion is that a mistake was made.

Exactly, we played four minutes too much, I was trying to be tactful .. does that mean that Workington shouldn't have got a bonus point?
I can't remember how long from the end they scored.
