A welcome return to the Keepmoat Stadium and the visit of London Skolars, who although pushing Oldham all the way at the weekend, have recently dropped out of the play off positions.



After a couple of weeks off, the Dons return with reports that both Tom Halliday and Frankie Mariano may be considered for this fixture.



Last Season: Doncaster 38 London 6 (Sunday 12 August 201icon_cool.gif.

Dons Tries: Jason Tali, Richard Owen, Hakim Miloudi, Jack Logan 2, Connor Scott, Kyle Kesik.

Dons Conversions: Matty Beharrell 5.

The Captain misses this one and a fully recharged Russ Spiers should be back.

Now if he had been playing for Toronto he would only have got 10 minutes ...

Sustained & repeated punching from young Mr Wynne . Oh & pretty hard too !

All part of the masterplan for the play-offs whereby we get no Hull players and get nowhere ...

Pessimism?

Let's see eh?

The RFL state it's a Grade E charge. The guidelines suggest a 4 to 8 game ban.

Does Buchanan qualify? Other FB options: Howden, Owen and Doherty (if Halliday's on wing)

Yes, if fit, made available and selected.

Connor Wynne has been given a five game ban.

Crikey, it must have been close to attempted murder to get a 5-match ban if the recent Warrington / Catalans punishments are anything to go by.



One rule for Challenge Cup finalists, another rule for the rest?
