precisely standoff and oldham fourth from bottom and hammered this mornings 2nd placed keighley. and what did we do to oldham 30-0 was it. just think owt can happen in this division this season

thanks for the updates wanderer made for an exciting afternoon,well done the dons great result,warrington here we come again.

well played lads - thanks for the updates

For some daft reason Oldham are almost unbeatable at home, but poorish away.
So I thought that Oldham would beat Keighley.
Similarly Keighley are good at home, but nowt special away. I know I've said it before but it was criminal the way we chucked it away at the Keepmoat vs them.
And yet they are in a perfect position to do the double over us next week ... and I expect them to, barring a stonking performance by the Dons.
COYD
We will need to muscle up next week. This game at Keighley is the game that will shape our destiny.
A win going into the two hard games versus our Cumbrian cousins will see us brimful of confidence.

are you coming over for the play off final should the dons get there sanjunien.

that would be great - haven't been back to blighty since my dad passed away in 2005 so it would be nice to have a decent pint again...not to mention fish 'n chips......



would definitely consider it if the missus is well enough to travel.

Well played today dons. Played with true passion today. Think kesik had a great game to say hes still out of position, Always dictates the attack. Emmet had another brilliant game too. Only downsides imo jack ely is too lazy and really seems to be struggling. And no sanderson or dom dee yet we had coady and bovill.why?
COYDS lets continue playing so well.

so how did coady perform? any better?

A lot better. Set up a try and scored his own

And what did Mr B play like?

One day in a land far beyond the here and now ... he'll score a try.
We'll all be long gone by then......

FFS it's an athlete's game nowadays ... the days of the lard infested pie muncher is a distant memory, or at least should be.

TM picks the team using his skill and knowledge and it seems to be working.He has access to the tackle counts and ball carries etc of all the players available and if JB is selected I think it must be on merit.
However if you feel so strongly about JB I am sure he would be happy to speake to you about it after the game.

It would seem that Dom Dee wasn't available yesterday due to commitments known about when he signed.

Jamie Bovill has the best success rate at the club at the moment in terms of games won...he's the lucky mascot!

Theres a report in the Yorksire Post today claiming the Dons benefitted from a series of forunate decisions. Must have been written by a Welshie.

Great result---well done to the lads.

Said it before and I'll say it again...we must be the luckiest team in existence to get to 2nd in the league based solely on rub of the green

Similarly he will miss the Keighley game.


JB's place is booked again then.

Indeed!
But Miller himself said we got exactly that yesterday.
We didn't get it vs Keighley in the second half and so as you intimate it evens up.

Pressure creates its own luck, and credit to the Dons.
Teams who can pressure the opposition when the opposition has the ball will come out top in most even games.

He needs to come out holding a proper forward's hand then.


He played against Swinton ... we lost.

Yeah, I think Miller probably does, that's his job.
I would prefer an athlete personally, one who scores tries or creates them, not just a battering ram.
As for the last point, he'd have to catch me first and even at my age he might be struggling.



If he'd just flop over for at least one try every once in a while, he'd be fine by me.
How many has he got for us by the way ... any statos out there?

Ouch



Indeed that's the one game in which he was available for the full 80 and we lost...I should add I am not saying this as I believe he is the catalyst for all our wins, just stating a statistic

In the last eight matches, you could say that of our kicking tee.


I take your point though, a winning team is a winning team for many reasons and our man may add more than just the obvious lack of tries and offloads

... namely team spirit , determination and sheer hard work.
Anyway the lad's in the team, I will just accept it and say no more .......
<cheers in the background>

Could TM have played Liam Crawley ?

Coaches call maybe .

Just had a message from someone who was yesterday's game saying that Bovill played pretty well and made a few line breaks

Do you think he's been reading my tips?
