This sunday is not just a friendly, it's a chance to thank a player who has stuck with us despite having offers to leave and showed commitment and fantastic work ethic throughout. He is the type of player we are all saying we want, a contracted and committed player. So it's important to recognise that, or we're just saying "we want our own players, but we're not that bothered so mighrt as well get some DR's in"

I've got huge admiration for Kez. Many would have spit their dummy out when they lost the captaincy, but not Kez. He's a true professional.

I would please ask everyone to put aside any issues they may have with the club because this is our chance to say 'thank you' to a guy who has been an incredibly loyal servant. It would be awful if there were only 300 or 400 turn up. Please get down on Sunday if you can. Let's try and get 700 or 800 down there.

Kez deserves it!

I hope Sunday's result doesn't put people off attending KK's testimonial ... but sadly it could.

I agree with others, let's have a good turn out for a player who has given his all for the Dons.

Re: where were at ??? : Wed Jan 09, 2019 6:24 pm  

I will be there Sunday ONLY because its going to be a tribute to a great Dons legend few players over the 35 years Ive been watching this club have put in such a magnificent effort week in week out such as Kes, He deserves all the applause he will get... Back to the topic at the beginning of this thread the news about Brad and Frankie highlights just how much we are in the shoite,, come on you dons ??? for how much longer is our away kit black and white this season.

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 4:50 pm  

So ,,, this is where were at we have played 3 friendlies and conceded nearly 200 points,,, we played today with all our fit players plus the D/R guys and a retired ex Dons legend. I cant see anything possitive from our current position we need to do a lot of serious thinking before we play Newcastle away,,, After 30 plus years of all the ups and downs Ive never chosen NOT to attend (when I could have) today I did and IM sooooooo glad I did,,, this is where were at folks...

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 4:59 pm  

Same here, had nothing on today and could have gone but glad I didn’t. What a pointless pre season. Who is responsible for arranging these games... were a shambles on the field. Read earlier Hull already have a few injury’s so forget about getting any of their better players on DR. Is it true we had 3 players go off injured today too ??

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:20 pm  

The lunatics are in charge of the asylum.
If Hull don't give us some quality players versus Newcastle and we lose, then the sh/t will hit the fan.
Because this is really not good enough thus far.

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:38 pm  

another pointless exercise.a bit of improvement but we,re still no where near what we should be.we have,nt played a league 1 team to gauge how good some of them are.baffled.

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:56 pm  

Set the lads up to get battered for three games...
You know it makes sense.

Re: where were at ??? : Sun Jan 20, 2019 11:04 pm  

There needs to be some communication from the club about what is going on. We haven’t even got enough of our own players to name a full 17.... and what’s happened to paying for better quality DR players... where were they today, looks like Carl has been sold a dud deal once again. Absolute shambles of a pre season. Workington and Newcastle both beating super league clubs this weekend and we ship 200 points in 3 games.

Re: where were at ??? : Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:25 am  

I would hate to think how many of those points our right side defence has shipped.
I say defence ...

We are set fair really with no decent wingers, no decent centres and next to no decent forwards ...
I stress, that we have seen.
They exist, but are currently holidaying somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

I think we will win this league.
Certain of it.

PS
At least our try was a little cracker.
