No dual reg on Friday, but a number of familiar names in the Hull FC reserves squad for their fixture with Keighley Cougars reserves tonight.

Included are ...
Lewis Bienek, Kieran Buchanan, Brad Fash, Charlie Graham, Danny Langtree, Hakim Miloudi, Levy Nzoungou, Cameron Scott, Danny Washbrook & Connor Wynne.

Fetuli Talanoa also included as he returns from injury.

Miloudi, Langtree (3), Graham & Scott (3) among the try scorers in an unsurprising 58- 4 victory.

Hope we don't come up short tomorrow through a lack of DR players. TBF, we shouldn't.

In the Freepress Peter Green confirms Owen and Howden are ok and Cox as well as a couple of trialists in the squad. Might as well try them out I say - as a cup game it is our least risky game to do this and if we discover some gems then get them signed up. https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/doncaster-rlfc-v-coventry-bears-team-news-and-build-up-ahead-of-challenge-cup-clash-1-9633245

19 man squad for tomorrow http://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/55577/squad---named-for Basically same 17 as last week but Levy Nzoungou, Danny Langtree, Hakim Miloudi and Callum Ogden drop out. They are replaced by Jordan Cox, Brad Foster, Richard Owen and Jordan Howden. Also included are trialists Stefanos Bastos and Lee Registe as mentioned in earlier posts. I'm not sure who would make way for them but it seems a waste having them there and not giving them a crack.

Dixon & Chrimes are doing ok after their trial periods !

Not sure who will drop out of the squad .

Re: Coventry Bears (Home) - Challenge Cup - Friday 8 March 2 : Thu Mar 07, 2019 9:53 pm  

If I had to pick I would probably drop Doherty for Registe, even though I really rate Doherty, it is just at this point I feel he is a really quality consistent performer who will not be affected by missing one game whereas Matty Chrimes seems to be improving week on week so I'd like to give him the opportunity to continue that momentum.

In the props as shocked as I am to say this I believe Boyle has played well the last couple of games and Douglas has been outstanding, so I'd be looking to drop one of Conner or Russ. Again if it was my choice I would drop Russ as Connor has more size about him.

Don't know who Richard will pick though as none of us expected Cox and Logan to be dropped from the 19 last week

Dons -18 @ 10/11 with Bet365.

Re: Coventry Bears (Home) - Challenge Cup - Friday 8 March 2 : Fri Mar 08, 2019 4:35 pm  

Wouldn't touch that.

Looking froward to seeing Jordan Cox playing. I'm hoping he might add some ooomph to the go-forward in the pack.

I hope the trialists have good games. This is their chance to shine.

Who called you arrogant?
No need to divulge Gary..
It was a fairly poor game that the Dons kicked on in the last twenty.
