top of the league, nice one donny.

Full Times ...

Dons 48 Crusaders 12
Oldham 28 Workington 18
Rochdale 24 Barrow 18

Dons top of the league today and champions if we win away at London Skolars on September 2.

Didn't need to be at their best today, won at a canter. A win at London and the Dons will be worthy champions

Well done to them all out there today. Not RL weather one bit, loved the afternoon, big up to all the travelling Crusaders fans (for the noise and the banter). Deserved glass or two for the players post match

I think the alcohol intake post London could top it all though.

I bloody well hope so

I'm just gutted that I've got to stay sober until after the game (or half time at least

)

Well worth the trip from Brighton today, to be fair an average performance against a poor side! But made all the sweeter by other results

ill make the shorter journey to London in 2 weeks to finally see the dons win the league!! COYD!!!

Its great to have seen so many old faces at the game today as well. Hopefully a fair few of us will go down to London and have a cracker of a day and make it a cracking atmosphere down there. Its in our hands, and that frightens me.

I was keeping tabs on the other scored all the way through and I'm still I'm disbelief at the other results!! But as I've said to my dad and the other Sheffield donny fans WE DESERVE IT!!

I was listening to Radio Cumbrias coverage of Barrow, and they were very critical of the Barrow side today, saying on that performance, they didn't deserve anything. I'd have been happier had Barrow not got the bonus point, but I'm eager for the Skolars game to come now..

got to say what a day, went in the bar before the game thought the footy boys were playing, wats gets two pork pies to equal a record, but even better were rochdale and oldhams results, so after a lot of terrain covered over the course of the season , i guess il see you in london, coyd

a great day today, a win to get a 100% home record, Waterman equalling the record for tries in a season, other results surprisingly goin our way which means win at the Skolars and WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, Massive well done to the players and all coaching staff and those behind the scenes for a fantastic season

Good efficient job by the Dons yesterday, and over the moon with how results fell for us. Felt we handled the game without getting out of first or second gear for the most part and could have scored more but for some poor decisions (particularly when trying to force the trying scoring chances for Waterman...calm down, it will come)

Can;t be complacent going to London, it's not an easy place to go. Losing there would be no big a shock than Barrow and Workington losing at Rochdale and Oldham so we need to go meaning business.

agree jemmo , biggest banana skin of the season

At 509, only three sides have scored more points than Skolars.
Workington a good attacking side who could have won the league themselves (and still can) have scored 547 from the same number of games.
The Skolars defence is obviously their downfall.
But the Dons had better beware, the Skolars have with two games at home a decent chance of making the play-offs.

We have the chance of £50,000, surely that is enough motivation for our lads. That's far more than all the season ticket sales put together. And when you consider the problems we had scraping together a small fraction of that to get Cooke on board, along with the much better position first is than third in the play-offs, defeat is just NOT an option.


Personally, I'd offer the Skolars £10,000 of it to roll over.

London are no mugs nowadays that's for sure, however we are not currently at the top for nothing. The players need to repay the club for showing faith in them by re-signing them for next year. I'm sure that they will do just that and do everyone proud by giving us our first ever Champions title.
A potential banana skin? Yes, but i would be very surprised if we do not come up trumps.
COYD

What happened to Robinson?
He looked to have a painful injury to his left arm.

Where was O'Loughlin, was he on holiday?
We only had one proper prop.
Our centres had to act like props, we were a team of lightweights.
Only in a mass way of course.

Their number 13 was a throwback wasn't he?

Well i couldnt be prouder to be a dons fan at this moment in time! Top of the league and 80 mins away from possible champions. It wasnt our best performance of the season but we still managed to score 48 points! Amazing! And we couldnt have been luckier with the other 2 results! Well done to all the players and the staff involved you should all be proud. Any news on whether butts will be back for london? And if kesiks injury will be better, reports said calf injury but he didnt seem to be limping sunday so hopefully? Bring on london COYD!

Dean O'Loughlin has a neck injury I understand .

I think Kes was more precautionary so should be OK in two weeks

He made me think i still and a chance.

There was a period in the first half where everything he did was just comedy; followed usually with him getting on all fours to breath it out!

I particularly loved the bit in second half where he managed to tumble and take himself out requiring a stop in play with no one even near him

The St.Johns ambulance men were terrified they were going to call for the stretcher

bet a few of the fans needed the the St Johns what with topping the table !

all those nosebleeds !!!
