Or perhaps not .......

Crusaders deserved the win today. We were dreadful.



Totally incapable of completing 6 tackles and consequently unable to build any kind of pressure on their line. Ok the ref didn’t have the best of games but we still don’t help ourselves with the penalties we give away.



Beryl tried his best without any support or back up but can’t do it on his own. Even Kes didn’t look his usual self.



Hope Richard Owen’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked.



I dread to think what the attendance will be next week for the 1895 cup match v West Wales, given that it’s not covered by the season ticket.

Yes, a coaching masterstroke leaving him kicking his heels for 35 minutes!

Beaten by a better tem who wanted it more .

Well that was terrible today. All this constant chopping and changing, how can players start to build effective understanding.I



Too many players were not at the races today. I won't disagree with the MoM nomination, but for me Connor Scott was another who put in a good shift.



Our kicking game didn't put them under any pressure, our completion rate must have only just made double figures, and we don't have the biggest pack but we persisted in going down the middle with one off carries.



Agree with other posters about our penalty count, again, the ref didn't have the best of games but we can't look to blame him for our inability to hold onto the ball.



One final moan, does anyone else think we look very lethargic out there?



Final point, hope Richard Owens is ok and it's not too serious.

So much for the stars! Coming back and new signings.

We shouldn't be losing these games and all the other games went our way and we can't take advantage

Club Doncaster have to decide once and for all if the Dons are a 'plaything' or a serious business interest.



If it's the latter and I had hoped it was, then it's time to accept that the business is failing and changes need to be made to reinvigorate the asset. Over to you Mr Baldwin ...

I wasn't there, and haven't been this season, the writing was on the wall before a ball was kicked/passed etc, but I have held my tongue for fear of being shouted down by the "important club sponsor" and others and receiving more direct unprofessional tweets from the CEO, but this is not what we were promised preseason.



The "enhanced" dual reg is a joke, we should ask Hull for a refund, I am not sure the coach is 100% Doncaster (well he's not) but He's not doing anything on the pitch with the team that makes me think cor we've got a good un here. The signings are good but all very "short term" and why do we sign a PNG halfback and play him at full back?



We were sold a pup once more by someone within the Club Doncaster set up, and I echo what Gary says its time for them to put up or clear out. I am sad to say this it unless drastic and I mean drastic (root and branch) steps are taking I will be winning my wager with said "important club sponsor) and we don't hear his words of wisdom again.



Time for the club to sever its unhealthy ties to Hull FC, get back to being Donny, sign players who are ours (or at least proper loans) and get a coach is is 100% ours, not a someone whos main wage payer is another RL club.



We have underestimated the strength of this division and recruited poorly tho this has improved lately, but we seem to not be able to field a settled side as others have quoted we've used 33 different players so far this season, even with injuries that's a stupid number. Things need to change before the club can go forwards.



As the bard once said "There's something rotten in the state of Denmark"....... its time to weed it out.

I bet the coach is 'disappointed'

Furious would be nice ...

This is the second time a Hull player has gone AWOL.

NWC were very well drilled defensively and had the better opportunities to seal the game well befoe the end. When he had the scrum near the end we even said it would have been emabarrasing to have won at that point. The strange thing is, I don't think the last two games have been lack of effort, just seems like we don;t know what the other player is doing any more. Also we seem to be picking the starting 13 out of a bag every week.

We said much the same.

I've had to suffer the 'bingo machine' team selection at Bolton this season and now it appears I have it again with the Dons.



It doesn't end well.
