We have recruited some decent players this season , BUT we had no cover for Hodges & Howden . We knew Howden wasn't available at the beginning of the season & now not available at the end of it. CH & GT thought we had cover , a lot of fans thought different, may be funds weren't available WHO knows the truth not the fans that's for sure !
The situation yesterday with Carr was a joke , clearly not fit !

The situation yesterday with Carr was a joke , clearly not fit ! I agree we have recruited some decent players but we're still a very long way off being good enough even if we put our best side out. The better teams look much bigger than us and they dominate us in the ruck. The situation with Tom Carr yesterday was extremely strange. When Barrow scored a try in Tom's corner, he never moved towards their player at all. I guess he was injured but battled on for the sake of the team. The injury news isn't very good according to The Star: http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/doncaster-dons/injuries-threaten-doncaster-rlfc-s-promotion-hopes-1-8043222

Thank goodness we had a change of heart and had a Family day at home. Obviously very well done Barrow and if they are the side that gets the second spot so be it. It certainly won't be the Dons. Listening to Noble during the semi final broadcast and it would appear that Toronto will be just as good if not better than Toulouse next year. Gawd help us.

I'd be surprised if they're not much better, given that they are signing Super League and top Championship players to play in League One.

Liam Kay, Craig Hall, Gary Wheeler and James Laithwaite all signed up so far.
