Not on the RFL website he hasn't “On behalf of everyone at the RFL I would like to congratulate Doncaster on their fine achievement, which is reward for a lot of hard work by everyone at the club,” said Wood. “Doncaster should be justifiably proud of winning a first league title in their 61-year history and I am sure they will celebrate their success long and hard before turning their attentions to preparing for life as a Championship club.” http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/26 ... -wigan-and

Things in quotes = (supposedly) actually said.
Things not in quotes = made up by whoever put the article online.

Well done Donny. I remember the happy, for me, days when you were easy meat for Liverpool City. Winger (was his name Woolford?) who looked like a Brian Bevan clone but didn't play the same way.
