This is why the game is dead in the water. It will never expand. £Millions are thrown at London(Harlequins), Welsh and French sides who will never make an impact, while a more gradual expansion might now have seen the game played in the Midlands and the NE, if the RFL had supported Mansfield/Nottingham and Gateshead initially in the 80s.
But no, outposts are subsidised, but with no local rivalry they will be forever that-outposts.

2 points off a bonus point? Bloody typical. Is this some kind of living nightmare? Given how bad Gateshead and Skolars are......lying a pretty poor third from bottom we aren't very good are we? It's about time we won again.....it's getting boring again. The table.

Was a pretty good game yesterday, but as always we seemed to get ourselves in a position where the game was there for the taking but made silly mistakes at key moments.

Also far too much dropped ball in the first half. Missed a few of bigger lads near the line but scored some nice tries with Shaun leaf showing up very well for me.

The new kid did pretty well too

From reports I have read sounds like Rob Lunt showed up well at 13.

Could have and should have got something from the game.Worky are no better than us. We struggled a bit 1st half but in the 2nd half we were out of the blocks and played well i thought.

Also isnt Workington a very angry place.A bloke in front of us was a proper potential heart attack waiting to happen going barmy at everything.Also it says it all when by far and away the loudest cheer of the day was when the PA man said Haven had lost at Batley.Pathetic.

I remember when we went there and beat them, their fans were fighting amongst themselves!!

Yes, there were some 'people' there with serious anger management issues, however we met some nice folk on the way out who wished us a safe journey home.

Was my count of nine Dons fans correct?
