Well, if we had a club website that worked (instead of advising us that the next match is versus Newcastle Thunder) and/or a functioning commercial department, we'd know what was happening. Is anyone at the club going to confirm when the Whitehaven game is on?. Some of us have to make plans on how to get there, you know!

Why wouldn't it be 3pm? Need to know if there's a likely change as I'm driving 200+ miles each way next weekend to watch this!

On the basis of this weekends results, we could quite realistically conclude that Hull, Huddersfield, Castleford are not really interested in competing in SL. And probably add Leeds to that list as well at the moment. Whereas London are giving everything they have just to avoid the wooden spoon and inevitable relegation. IMG have a lot to answer for.

I believe Superstud is a Dewsbury fan, so his comments are more likely to be a criticism of Batley's performance yesterday than any real criticism of Doncaster.

Exactly this. A few weeks ago 20 points looked to be enough to leave us clear of any problems- mainly because we had a far better points difference than all the clubs around us. Now Halifax have turned the points situation round, Swinton are closing in on our total and we have Bulls and Toulouse away to come. Whitehaven is now a must win- lose that and almost certainly we'll be in the knock out match versus the League 1 play off winners and whilst that should be well within our capabilities of winning, if we go into that on the back of six straight defeats- well, who knows. Looks like the club have become complacent, put the cue on the rack too early. It can't be that they value the derbies against Dewsbury that much, can it?

Sounds like a competition between Yorkshire,Lancashire, France and Wales might be a better solution? France and Wales to have home games against both counties and then a deciding week France v Wales and Yorks v Lancs. Upside- it gives France and Wales competitive fixtures (hopefully) Downside- it takes three weeks to complete. But overall should result in closely fought games and could be marketed as a NH championship?

Kevin spoke about a review of finances at the end of July and a fans Forum in early August. Haven't heard a word since.........

100% agree. Prepared to be banned for saying this but that referee was absolutely garbage

Nonsense decision to send off the Huddersfield player there. Didn't even look like a yellow to me

Whitehaven name just 14 players at Dewsbury

Only 16 players named in the squad on the RFL website. Hope they are all fit!

Whitehaven RL Vice Presidents · It’s a personal post which I’m sorry to have to write. After Jonty left I thought long and hard about continuing in my voluntary role as Team Manager. I decided I would to support the players till the end of the season. Last night I received news that a Director was telling people I was getting sacked. This was confirmed by another couple of people this morning. I have no reason to doubt these people and that is backed up by another conversation I have had. Although quick enough to tell their friends none of the Board could pick a phone up and tell me. Well guys I’ll save you the bother. It’s with a heavy heart I’m sad to say I’m stepping away from the role. Its’s a role I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the years. I’ve met some great players and coaches, had lots of laughs and made friendships that last. The last three years have been the most difficult and eventually people reap what they sow in the way they treat their fellow humans. Thanks to everyone I have had the pleasure of working with over the years and to all supporters for the support you give the team. I wish Kyle all the best in his position and hope the lads go on to prove that they are not a League One team. I’ll be on the terraces cheering them on. No doubt the smear campaign will intensify but I can hold my head up high. #TeamHaven Des Byrne

They already seem to have total control of the international calendar, such as it is. We are allowed to play when they want, against whoever they decide to send to us. Sorry Jm2010, you beat me to it!

Wow! Great result! Well done the lads.
