| A few stats from the sheet I've got for this weekend.
Doncaster have scored in every game they have played in every competition this season. 22 Games in total.
Lee Waterman has scored 30 tries this season. He needs 2 to tie with Luke Gales record of 32, set in 2008.
Waterman, along with Kyle Kesik and Mark Castle are the only players to have appeared in every Dons League Game this season.
The Dons have scored 141 tries this season, and have converted 101 of them, a success rate of 72%.
Only 2 ‘penalty goals’ have been scored by Doncaster this season, both coming in a 5 minute period against Workington at the Keepmoat last month.
31 players have been used by Tony Miller this season, of which 13 have appeared in at least 15 games.
Doncaster have the best scoring record in the Division (621 points from 16 games, at 38.8 points per game).
Doncaster also have the second best defensive record in the Division (327 from 16 games, at 20.5 points per game)
Doncaster have met North Wales Crusaders once before, beating them 41-28 at the Glyndwr University Racecourse Stadium in May, Craig Fawcett scoring a drop goal to deny the Welsh side the bonus point (we have played them previously when they were Celtic Crusaders though).
The Dons have scored 112 tries in Championship One this season, converting 86 of them, asuccess rate of 77%.
Lucas Walshaw may make his home debut against the Crusaders. The 6’5” forward was signed on loan from Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
24 Doncaster players have crossed the whitewash for tries this season, with props Craig Lawton and Dean O’Loughlin the only current squad members not to score. Loanee Lucas Walshaw also hasn’t scored for the Dons.

| According to The Donny Star, if we win this Sunday it'll be the first time we've won every home game of the season.
Did I dream "The House of Pain" year?

| Match Preview
Doncaster Rugby League Club is just 80 minutes away from a club first - victory over North Wales Crusaders at the Keepmoat Stadium would complete an unprecedented 100% home record.
No Doncaster side has ever won every home game in a single season and Tony Miller's men will be looking to re-write the history books come 3pm this Sunday afternoon.
The blue and gold's beat Clive Griffiths' side 41-28 at the Racecourse Ground in May, and are aiming to complete the double and keep their outside title hopes alive.
The Dons currently sit second in the table one point below Barrow and two points above third placed Workington with two games left of the regular season. However, both Cumbrian teams are strong favourites to win their remaining games and Workington have a game in hand.
Head coach Miller said: "We will not be treating North Wales lightly, they caused us a few problems at their place and they'll make it difficult for us here in Doncaster.
"We've been in tremendous form at home this season; the wide Keepmoat pitch really compliments our style of play so the 100% home record will be a great achievement for us if we get the win.
"We've still got a slight chance of winning the league but we're relying on other teams to do us a favour and take points off both Barrow and Workington.
"However, we need to make sure that we perform to our potential and secure the three points on Sunday and keep the pressure on."
Team news for the Dons this week includes a possible return for centre's Danny Cowling and Liam Cunningham. Cowling impressed for Wakefield last weekend in their victory over St Helens and Cunningham has not played for the club for over four months after injuring his ankle ligaments back on Good Friday.
Chris Spurr's chances of playing are rated at 50/50 after picking up a rib injury and hooker Kyle Kesik is also a doubt with a calf injury. Wildcats' dual registration Lucas Walshaw is set to make his home debut after impressing in the club's victory over Oldham last week.
Miller added: "I'd just like to take the opportunity to thank our fans for their superb support this season - it's much appreciated by the players and coaching team and we're looking forward to the forthcoming play-off games."
Toby Adamson and Danny Hulme could both return for sixth-placed Crusaders, who go into Sunday's game knowing a place in the play-offs is in their own control. However, Clive Griffiths' men face difficult trips to Doncaster and Whitehaven in their final two league games.
Griffiths said: "It's still a big ask, because we've got two very good teams to play away from home, but there's belief in the team now. We're not discounting it, but we're only whispering it.
"It's between us, London and Oldham for that sixth spot. We probably need two points from these last fixtures to give ourselves a chance. It's still a big ask, but crikey, who'd have predicted this at the start of the year?"
Griffiths added: "I've watched Doncaster a lot this season, because they seem to be playing the teams we play the week before us.
"There are only a few teams that can boast they've got someone like Paul Cooke at six, and Craig Fawcett is a fair player too.
"They've got quality at six, seven and nine, and Lee Waterman is tearing it up at full-back. We'll go there with no pressure on us."
There's plenty going on at the Dons last home game of the season and Doncaster's star Olympian Sarah Stevenson will be at the game. The Bentley born Taekwondo champion will be at the Keepmoat Stadium cheering on the boys to hopefully another home victory to make it 100% for the season.
There will also be an end of season merchandise sale at the game so don't miss the opportunity to pick up a bargain or two. Full details of the sale can be found [url=http://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article.php?id=9092here[/url.
And don't forget to pick up your season ticket for our return to the Championship in 2013. We've slashed the prices of our season tickets for one day only so don't miss out on this superb value for money offer. Click [url=http://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article.php?id=9021here[/url for more information.
It promises to be a spectacular afternoon of top quality rugby league so make sure you're at the Keepmoat Stadium to witness the Dons make history.
'Come on you Dons!'

| Can someone else confirm whether or not the House of Pain 100% Home season actually happened, because I am beginning to think it might not have done

| Make that all three of us. IIRC we lost a home play off to Oldham, first home loss of season but it wasn't in the regular season.

| I can only see a 50 plus point canter for this one, which will include a hat-trick from Lee Waterman. The 100% home record was never in doubt.

| I'd like not to see a mass exodus for the exit at the final hooter. The lads, coaches and staff deserve it!

| Generally, the Dons are asked to give up 20 points on the Handicap at odds of 10/11 although both Bet365 & Skybet ask us to concede 22.
