Wakefield Ram Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 This is a game we could win. Hopefully, Dean and Smith will be told that Worrincy is vulnerable under the high ball and put plenty of high kicks to him. We have two players in Fleming and Gabriel who are great catchers. And let Knowles do his field kicking, saw the first kick from him on Sunday and we almost scored. Sheffield shipped 8 tries last week and are not in good form. We beat Widnes, we can beat Sheffield.

Blind side johnny Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 We do have a chance in this one; on the other hand they are a bit of a bogey team for us. There are a few players leaving at the end of the season, some being in a rush to get as far away from Tubby as possible. They have had injuries, like us, and last week had a makeshift half back pairing. If we have been able to do some passing and catching practice and learned not to send out panic balls every verse end, then maybe we can prevail. Sykes will be missing, which may give our half backs a little more freedom, and hopefully a couple of our backs will be available once again. We can but hope, even if it is the hope that kills you in the end. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Both teams are playing badly and whilst Sheffield shipped eight tries away from home, we managed to do the same, but at home. I think our only chance is if Thackeray doesn’t play, but I’ve no idea if that will happen. This is a game I don’t think we will win, but I do admire your suggested tactics WR to defeat the Eagles.

the old nine ole Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The Sheffield web page states that tickets are not available on the day .... that they can only be bought on line! Does anyone know if this is correct... or is the web page a bit behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Thackeray isn't playing because he made/scored all three tries against us. Thank you on the tactics, let's hope we can score off a few kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just contacted Doncaster and was told it is a double-header with tickets available now, or on the day at £15.00 per adult (no concessionary rate) and children £1.00. This is rather confusing as the Sheffield site (from the link above from BSJ) indicates no purchase on the day and different admission charges. Legs, Dews, Legs.

I don't think that Sheffield have updated the Covid rules on their website, hence the reference to no purchases on the day. I'd stay at home if I were you, just in case.
