Very big game this one. Win it and we've beaten two of the top teams away and looking good. Should be a decent surface and no deluge of rain forecast so hopefully we can click in attack. It's going to be tight I reckon.

Doncaster forum saying they are close to signing Mariano from Featherstone.

Need our A game for this. As you say a win and we'll be joint top having played the top 2 away from home. Lose and suddenly we're chasing York & Doncaster which is never ideal.

Doncaster had a real crack at Fev yesterday and weren't too far away from causing an upset so this will tight. Chisholm, Hitchcox, Laithwaite and hopefully Mcnally back will definitely give us a boost.

A decent firm pitch should mean a chance for our pace men to get an advantage, we'll need them as this could be just as tough as York away. We need to arrive with the right attitude, hopefully no further injuries from Warrington.

I would assume the pace of the Wire game was at the lower SL level and the Bulls should take that pace into the Doncaster game which would be an extra advantage to have!

John Kear was sat near us scribbling away furiously yesterday.

If you have any questions about the ground or surrounding area post them in here and I'll pop in now and again if I can help

At least we won't be haunted by another ex-Bull who left when we were at death's door. Cameron Scott is now on loan at Dewsbury rather than being at the Dons on dual reg.

Big game, not going to call it a season decider, but a win here will have a big impact on the table come the end of the season as I can't see Donny and York losing too many games this year

I'm sure that Kear & the players will have put a marker down to remain undefeated in the league at Odsal this year. Also, I don't think Donny & York have played either of the Cumbrian teams in Cumbria yet? Donny's only defeat so far was against York at home, they've still to go to York.
This is settling into being a good L1 comp this year.

Agree, it's far too soon to be talking about 'deciders', but yes it's another big game and one we need to win to keep the pot boiling and confidence high.
