14-24 Great Skolars performance 

It is considering that they were down to 12 after 30 mins. Respect against the run away League leaders.

Pleased all is well at London v Barrow.

Cumbrian derby game next week should be interesting.

 Big chance for Workington  with all Barrows centres injured, including Maloudi, Ryan Shaw, Hulme and Tyson. Several big signings including J Walne out and D Toal. Can see an away win.

No one is running away with it yet, Doncaster are beginning to look more likely the title contenders just now but let's see what the 2 Big games tomorrow bring.

Great effort from Skolars

Worrying times for West Wales. After what looked like some improvement at the start of the season they've reverted back to type. No Rangi or Henson and pretty much the same squad as last year now. Hard to see how they'll get a win this year

Me neither

BIG game for Dons tomorrow. Expect a niggly game from Thornton. We've got another quality forward back tomorrow in Brandon Douglas so I reckon him, Boyle, Wilkinson and Peltier can cope.

[Rob Nash]

How the hell did crusaders score 60? Zero flattered them last week. We really weren't that great and should have been 70 plus. This league is very hard to read. Top four of Barrow, Workington, Doncaster, Keighley then pick 2 from Hunslet, Rochdale and Coventry from the rest.

Incidentally. When I say it's hard I think the top 3 will be between Barrow, Workington and Doncaster, Keighley in 4th and a free for all between 3 clubs for 5th

That’s a respectable effort against Barrow

Especially with 12 men for 1/3 of the game

Looks like we've been lucky. Apart from a long term injury to Jordie Hedges we've been ok (touch wood). Hopefully a short term injury to Mudoti is made up for by the return of Douglas.

[Rob Nash]

Tomorrow is big for us. Hunslet have always been hard for Donny. A win would be wonderful in any shape or form!

[Rob Nash]

That said. I expect a win.

OK mate thanks for letting me know that my autocorrect changed it. I know it's Skolars and I'll try to make that mistake never happens again. Do you want me to edit the the post? OK I'll do it 

[OriginalMrC]

For anyone not aware Bears vs Cougars is off tomorrow due to Cougars having 9 missing due to Covid. Was looking forward to this one and think we had a great chance against them but safety has to come first

I am afraid so. But I will applaud the players for giving 100% . it must be hard to receive punishment each week.

I do hope that things will improve.
