Discuss the game here.

I think this will be a tough one and the first real measure of where we are and what we might do this season. We had them on the rack in the Cup but fell away. We certainly owe them one away from home. It will be a real test but if our forwards can get on top of theirs I think we have the fire power to win. 

[Roughyed Rats]

Crucial game this. Win and we will really have the momentum. The performance on Friday was really good and will need to be at that level again to come away with the win. I think we will.

[jroyales]

Is there a coach going to the game? Someone mentioned the Fox and Pine might be running one.

From a Doncaster point of view we are expecting a tough game from you guys . 

Hope you have a good trip over .

With the small amount of games to play in this division any loss makes promotion difficult.

It does but we'll be in the play offs at the very least. Hopefully, we can finish up there in the table which will give us a really good chance.

This should be an attractive game for the neutrals. I would be tempted if we didn't have the Pasties at home on the same day.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

On a completely different topic which should be posted elsewhere but I’m too tired to bother - Tyler Dupree has been called up to the full England squad for the upcoming international against France. Makes me wonder how many others who play at Championship and League 1 level could step up given the dedication and opportunity. Well deserved success for the lad.

Ian Thornley was 18th man for Wigan against Saints last week. He’ll be a handful

It's a top signing in my opinion. Vastly experienced and should be very strong at this level.

I’m completely opposed to Dual Registration. Shouldn’t be allowed. Except for Oldham, obv.

Looks like we're throwing some money at going up.

That isn't the same as free of cost.

I presume we pay at least some of his wages whilst he is with us?

[sheddingswasus]

A very good signing to play at this level. He is an excellent centre

Hes also 18th man for Wigan tonight.

Regarding cost to us im not sure how it works on dual reg to be honest. 

[sheddingswasus]

If we get promoted he is the type of player we would need at that level 

[sheddingswasus]

Sorry , when!

[Anita Bath]

When you get promoted he will have long been retired

[jroyales]

Great chance against Workington Anita of pulling away from the bottom three.
