Doncaster(A)

[Wandering pete]

The Dons finished the regular season on an 8 game winning streak with 19 wins/5 defeats to clinch 4 th spot .They were only beaten by 4 sides..Broncos(2),Oldham,Canes and of course..Barrow ..who inflicted their heaviest home defeat(12-36).Their only other home loss being to the Broncos(16-30).

Ryan Cox is the merry whistle blower.

what was that? Most of them want stripping out that shirt not good enough end of! Very poor and embarrassing!

[Raiderfan79]

What happened that's a disgrace losing 72-0 

[2Cents]

I honestly feel ( & their pathetic performance showed it) that they wanted to lose, so they can play Sheffield at home rather than travel to Newcastle and been creamed.

But IF they do beat Sheffield, the chances are the game after that would be Doncaster away!

[UpTheRaiders]

Absolutely disgusting result from a very strong squad. Gutless.

[olray]

If any fans travelled they need there money back. Disgrace 

[Raiderfan79]

 shocking must be one of our heaviest defeat in many years

[2Cents]

72 - 0, was 4th biggest loss ever.

Previous 3 were:

• Leeds 90–0 Barrow — 11 February 1990 — 90-point margin
• Widnes 78–0 Barrow — 27 February 2008 — 78 points
• Harlequins 82–8 Barrow — 21 May 2006 — 74 points

Sorry but that's been coming. Been so poor in last few months and it's been hidden by beating poor league one sides, and struggling in them games (haven, Rochdale, Dewsbury). Ironically the only game we've looked decent lately was in defeat to Donny at home!

The season is definitely petering out and Sheffield will certainly fancy their chances next week

filthy performance all round today but i must make special mention for Curtis Teare

the most vile effort defensively i've seen in many years of watching the game - it said it all that Watson Boas was actively looking for him in the second half because he knew that Teare didn't want to tackle properly.

absolutely no excuses for that defensive performance today and if Crarey has any respect for the rest of the team then Teare will not be starting next week.

by no means alone in being ###### today but he was certainly crapper than most

I can't remember which try it was in the second half, but (and Radio Cumbria had even commented that Gebbie and Boas were running at Teare) he basically stood to one side as Gebbie ran past him. I have no idea what was going on (I was at the game working as a photographer), but, it definitely was a poor look.

Very poor game by teare and knott on that right side! No way championship standard! Most aren’t after yesterday’s performance

Is Curtis Teare on the way back to Haven, as rumoured on the Workington Town forum? If so, mind elsewhere?

[2Cents]

We seemed so slow and pedantic with the ball and clearly there were huge holes in defence. Their hearts weren't in it.

Yes, on paper, we appear to have a solid team but the actual games are played on grass. 

We have no speed without Ritson and Toal - what's happened to him?

Broadbent is our one and only speedster. Good teams have a fast back-line.

Like many have said, our halves, especially Walker offer no creativity - that's got to change for next season.

Think we punched above our weight this season. Making the final 4 will be a great achievment.
