They would Rob he has to be praised for playing anywhere and always trying to run through a brick wall for the team, as you say I'd take a team of him over a team of Chase's any day.

Now I never QUITE said that Steve. A team of Rangis clearly wouldn't work! A team of Jordies at full back, centre, hooker and all 3 backrowers will do!

Just read that Kyle and Matty are either leaving or packing in.

In Horne we trust

Now remember we have to see this as a positive its a good thing were loosing two of our most consistant performers and quite possibly the best 7 and 9 we've had a club for a number of years....its a big plus going forward.

We need to let dust settle now for me. Players WILL leave. Players WILL join. No point getting wound up now or second guessing anything. We are what we are. A top half L1 / bottom half championship club. If the management of the club are serious about us going forward then we will sign more/better players than we lose. Now while I realize this is a MASSIVELY obvious statement it is also all we can judge the club on over the coming months. I'm happy to stick a fork in this season. Onto the next.

I think the main issue Rob is that we've had the same speech year on year from the current regime and they have never delivered...remember not signing players and putting investment into the "Enhanced Dual Reg" signing Liam Harris only to gift him to Hull FC "for a significant fee and deal that would benefit the Dons". These things haven't happened, this isn't our first rodeo, this season is now over and according to Kyle's facebook thats the end of his 10 year association with the club apparently he was left with "no choice". The quality we do have is being snapped up or pushed out, I fully expect Tali to move on as well as Jordie and with the rumors surrounding Matty does leave us without most of this years quality and points scoring.



I would suspect next years lineup will consist mainly of Hull cast offs which we may find some gems, I think will still leave us short in key positions (Fullback, Hooker, Halves).

Ok, season 2019 has fizzled out to its inevitable conclusion.



We’re now expecting to lose two of our better, consistent performers and who knows about Jordie Hedges.



Season 2020 starts now in my opinion and those in the positions of influence & control at Club Doncaster need to get their collective fingers out otherwise, as has been said before, if changes aren’t made, nothing will change.



As far as I can make out, we’re building a team around a 33-year old. Yet we’re prepared to lose or farm out our young, shining light to Cas. At least you would expect young Lawton’s coaching to improve.



What has happened to Super Dual Reg recently? Have all the Hull guys gone on holiday? We’ve been crying out for a ‘real’ Donny team all season, which is what we’ve ended up with, but it’s no good when it’s been mix & match up until the last month or so.



Fixtures: Take out any cup matches and we’ve had 8 games at the Keepmoat. Trades Descriptions would be hard pushed to call this a season. The Featherstone days out must surely consigned to the bin. I’d prefer to see games played in the borough but if we are to persist with the Hull FC links, why not arrange some double-headers at the KC?



Lots to ponder before I make my mind up whether to shell out for another season ticket.

Out of interest Steve, why is Tali leaving?

I am not aware he is but as a consistent performer I expect we'll not keep hold of him. He is Championship quality so I'm sure someone will make him and offer we cannot or don't attempt to match

I just mean the 3 year contract he signed at the start of the season. I know contracts don't mean anything but you seem to be suggesting there's a mass Exodus of players who are desperate to get away from the club. Is playing for The Dons really that bad?

I want to be really clear here that I'm not being positive.

Nor negative.

I don't know the post on Kyle kesiks Facebook is a worry that he was left with no option but to look elsewhere



The club will never be open or honest and if you challenge "the way" you are subjected to a character assination or offered a "home visit"



From now on players will be being released and looking for new clubs we should be all over that like a rash get business done early...but suspect we will be trying to put a 13 together in early January
