Time for a mass sacking ....
Thornton, Howden, Hedges, Heil,Thackray, Aizue, Muranka and anyone else tossing it off should go right now.
Two decent half
Backs and two decent props bought immediately ... I don't care where from ... and the usual excuses for not signing mid season should not be accepted. Oh and a quality coach brought in , one who played as an attacker in his playing days.

York were well drilled and had obviously done their homework.
Where we were sat you could hear the players talking at the scrum. Every time it looked like Tali was going to get the ball it was called by at least four players and they moved up quickly to prevent him building up a head of steam.
After the game one of the York players was talking to a supporter and he said they knew if they could stop the bigger Doncaster forwards and Tali they were in with a chance. He also said at half time the coach had called our left edge a weakness to attack.
The worrying thing for me was that when plan A was failing for us we couldn't adapt to a plan B. York had an initial game plan that they stuck to which was then altered at half time to give them the best opportunity of succeeding. I wonder what was said at half time to the Don's players.

You've missed mason 'tampax' tonks in for one week then out for 3!

Think that's a bit unfair about Tonks , just come back from injury & had to play 80 mins v Toronto .
I would add Carr to S-O's list also another not performing .

The thing is I rate tonks highly but if your besieged with injuries at his young age it's very unlikely you will ever perform at the level you should do.

I don't mind Tonka and Carr.
I do mind players bulled up as special not being special or at least not fulfilling their primary role.
Injury problems aside our two first choice halfbacks do not when selected do their jobs anywhere near well.

The question could be easily asked but I doubt I would get the correct response.

I don't believe Carl has any input on the coaching but I would put my house on him having a major influence on the recruitment.

From what the regulars to the games describe the mega problem seems to be tactics and motivation. Is GT a RL dinosaur and has he lost the dressing room ?

Tactics?

Both I would say .

Can't be both ... we don't have any tactics do we?
Can't say I have noticed any.

Unless looking embarrassed is a tactic.

For those that enjoy a chuckle .... Gary's thoughts on the York bore-a-thon. www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk 'Hopefully' he will remember we do have a game next Friday. So 'hopefully' we may see an improvement then too.

The performance was no different from the Keighley game , poor discipline , poor set completion , no plan B .

The York coach worked us out , they also lost a couple of players injured & we could not take charge of the game , but their players wanted more than us in the 2nd half .

What is this middles thing anyway ?

Those in the middle of the muddle ...
