any talented young player will not sign a 2 or 3 yr contract without a clause to be released to a full time SL team if they come knocking .

Doncaster who have been down played during the build up to this season , have past a big hurdle today and a big plus while doing so is they have 2 home fixtures in a row which if they win both will set them in good stead . With much fancied and many punters favourites losing today , the other 2 big boys Oldham and Workington becomes all the more vital to get that first win and 2 points on the board and get in front of Newcastle , there are only 4 teams in it for the top spot in my opinion and winning away to one of them is crucial

What a come back , Donny shock Thunder with a second half blitz . never saw thay coming at half time

Newcastle look good but Donny are poor on this showing so far

awful defending for that last try .

DR does far more harm than good

if i am not driving i will always by a few pints at a clubs bar and some chips or a pie or burger etc if i get the munchies , any revenue for clubs these days is vital

the only thing this thread proves is the sham of SL for not having reserve teams and a reserve league because they can rely on DR

I went for Oldham , they are flying in pre season and have signed another good half back in A Brook from Fax yesterday , big squad and a lot of strength in depth , runners up could be any from Donny , Thunder and Town Bottom WW Raiders , Keighley may not even start and if they do they may not finish the season

There was a cumbria select dream X11 team on Love Rugby League or somewhere a month or two ago but dont know if there is any notion to move with the idea of a county series ? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/dream-xiii-cumbria/

Abram confirmed at Rochdale today .

all 3 would be better off if consolidated in a vibrant Championship and to be honest it would be far more entertaining than the super dull league
