Haley to Sheffield
Divorty to Featherstone
and possibly Castle to Leigh has surfaced again.

And Doncaster v Batley possibly played at Featherstone`s ground 21.06.09, cannot play at Doncaster due to relaying of the pitch, and all other options have been looked at, to try and get the game played in Doncaster but with no joy.

What if Featherstone get drawn at home in the semi final of the cup that weekend (as long as they beat Oldham)

what about hatfield main football ground i remember playing there in alliance think it was bout 5 or 6 years ago but better than going to fev or even the training pitch at keepmoat?

Looks to me like were trying to offload ALL the contract players and just keep the ones on match terms.Does anyone know how many players we have got on contracts?

What I don't understand is why the groundstaff at the Keepmoat thought they could dig up the turf and grow a new one in under three weeks.

Ross Divorty has signed for Featherstone .

Thats why i used the term possibly.

Quote ="Moonlight"And maybe onemore www.thestar.co.uk/doncaster-spor ... 5328779.jp'" Yes Alan, Gary Hetherington was at the game at Whitehaven, he was stood behind me whilst i was eating my lunch with some other guy from the Rugby League. Rumours are that Coady will sign for Leeds but will stay with Donny this year, and maybe next year they may let him come back to Donny to help him progress, and that Leeds may offer us two loanee`s for the remainder of this season. We shall have to wait and see what comes out of the woodwork.

Thanks Baz, That is a bit of welcome light

More's the point mate, does anyone know how many players we have left ?

No, but we are clearly trying to off-load all the contracted players.

That would leave us with a group of players who can't earn a penny as we haven't got a game for a month. I wonder how loyal they feel the need to be and will the interst level be there when we resume and we've lost even more players and those that remain risk getting 70 or 80 points put through them on a regular basis. Not that appealing I would have thought.

Hopeful I'm just being a merchant of doom but who knows?

Of these Mark Castle and Mike Coady are already linked with other Clubs.
(Edit: Castle gone to Leigh).
Shaun Leaf, Craig Lawton, Kevin Eadie, Gaz Carey and Al Rounding are injured (although in all honesty I'm not sure that Eadie is still with us).

Craig Jones, Danny Richardson and Alex Palmer have each played one game (from the bench) having been promoted from the reserve squad.

Think that about covers it. If I've missed anyone I apologise.

Edit: Gaz Carey now removed.

Have to take Castle of your list. Announced on Leigh board he has signed for them.

Amended - Mark Castle removed in above list.

Divorty will go on to great things me thinks............

still all this is peeing me off......what an earth has gone on.

Gaz Carey join the Para's last Sunday.

Another one off the list then.

Rumours Gary Ellery gone or going, another local lad to another local club if the rumour is true.

This appears not to be confirmed, but we shall wait and see.

Leigh retract statement that they have signed Castle

Iwas talking to his brother today in Castleford and he did not know if he had signed for anyone.

Neil Kelly speaking on tonights BBC Radio Manchester Rugby League programme said they had agreed terms with Mark Castle but he had not yet signed for them.

It was also mentioned on the programme the Dons will be deducted 9pts for going into administration but they didn't know if the points deduction would be appled this or next season.

Depends which way the wind is blowing, with the RFL! Deducting them next season will seriously harm your chances of coming back up, providing (and hoping) that you get new backers. In some ways, that would punish new (and 'blameless') backers, for what has happened under the current regime. (I hasten to add that I am not criticising the current Board - as I do not know enough about what they have/have not done, and, we've all been there too!)

Good luck.

Suggestions are that Benson, Lawton and Leaf may be on their way soon.
