With Sunday's other 4 fixtures involving the other 8 of the bottom 9 in the Championship and that guaranteeing that some of our rivals will pick up points, it would be useful if the Dons could get something from this fixture.

We have raised our game against some of the big teams in the Championship (it'll be a long time before the memory of Featherstone away starts to fade) so lets hope for a performance and hopefully a bonus point or better.

Don't forget it's a 2.00pm kick off.

Kyle Trout in Wakefield 19 v Leeds on Friday 19th July.

Tricky looking game , as you say the Dons have performed well against the top sides , so who knows. Be happy with a bonus point, obviously hope for more.

looking forward to my first away game since London and the grand final last season, I would be delighted with a bonus point and the way we have performed against the top 5 this season 3 bonus points and 1 win is way better than I thought we would do. A shame that we won't have Trout but i would bring Leafy back into the side for his defensive qualities. Liam Kay has had 2 storming games at half back so would keep him in there. hope Waller is available as they have some big forwards. COYD

Who gives a toss about Batley.
And how the hell should they be so much better than the Dons?
A win for Batley.

Why no mention of Craig Fawcett is he injured or out of favour?

Exactly.
Out of favour I would guess.

Kicking up t' hill Half time Batley 6 v Doncaster 20.

I've never subscribed to playing down the hill being an advantage

COYD, prove me wrong ... again!

I agree Jemmo.

Yes! Batley 12 v Doncaster 26.
