Ex-Dons players with all of York's points ... Tries for Brett Turner, Nev Morrison, Russ Spiers and Rich Wilkinson. Danny Nicklas with 4 goals.

Some of those players could come back to haunt us as well!

Lets hope not. In truth, two or three of them may struggle to stay injury-free if history is a fair guide.

Ross Divorty leaves Halifax due to work commitments.

Lee Waterman leaves Hunslet by mutual consent.

Jacob Miller scores 3 tries for Wakefield in their 62-0 win over a weakened Wigan side today .

Jordan Abdull joins Featherstone on loan.

Liam Kay rumoured to be Toronto-bound in 2017.

Mitch Clark linked with a move to Hull KR at the end of this season.

Reece Dean rumoured to be HKR bound also.

Brad Fash signs on a month's loan for Leigh.

Chris Buttery released from his Hunslet contract by mutual consent.

Bobby tyson-Wilson playing at West hull

Ross Divorty signed for York, with our injury problems, would have been a good signing for us.

Paul Cooke back in RL with Leigh, taken up a coaching role until the end of the 2017 season .

Reece Dean not signed a new contract with Hull .

Danny Cowling ruled out for the rest of Batley Bulldog's season with a knee injury.

York sign 4 players including H T Wilson on loan from Hull & Adam Robinson on loan from Halifax.

Danny Nicklas may loose his scrum half role.

The York club look to have serious intentions of getting promotion to the Championship I wonder if the Dons management are considering strengthening there squad of players for the final run in & play off games.

Thought they had injury problems and this is possibly cover for that.
It won't affect us too much, since we aren't gonna get promotion in my view.
Too many better sides, which is a bit unforgivable.
Walton quoted in the Free Press says he knew this division was better than thought, with his time at Oxford.
So how come the Dons did not respond with some real intent after their demotion?
IF we can muscle up at London and do the business we are at least in the hunt. If we lose, we are just not good enough or smart enough.
We will see ...
We are fifth in the bottom league and other sides have a game in hand.
If London win their game in hand and beat us, they too will have 16 points.
Luckily sides will take points off each other, but we are facing losing two out of our last three games pre playoffs and points will be added to what we already have.
How many of that seven will we win ... four?
How are we gonna get a top position for knockout games?

Keighley & York both have to go Toulouse , if we can come 4th , we still have a chance .

COYD

I came very very close to winning the lottery last week.

My next door neighbour won

I would check your spelling Geoff, sarcasm does not work when you miss out a letter.

Especially if its a French one

How very true..................

Speaking of which, looking forward to the Keighley game. Hopefully they will take the game to the French and especially use the high ball to cause panic just like Howden did.

Could do with a Toulouse win & a big one to be honest !
