seems a bit short might be worth taking on at that

Now Dons -56 10/11 (same as Bet365).

Good score, can I take it that the Raiders have improved (it would be good if they have)

Re: Dons vs West Wales Raiders 8th March 2020 @ 3:00pm : Sun Mar 08, 2020 5:33 pm  

We were absolutely shocking 1st 20 mins, should have been at least 40pts up by half time.
1st 5/6 times we touched the ball we gave back to them with knock ons and wayward passes on run in to try line!
one even hit matty on the head when he would have strolled in.
then last 15 after peltier went off. no idea.
so much for the -54 being a good idea should have been well past that.

The 1st Quarter of the game was dire. .
I think Peltier was taken off because he had done his minutes , thank god for him.
I donot know if Chase went into the match injured or got injured in an breakdown the pitch.
Several of our players are just not good enough .
Oh well done Sam Doherty .

Yes we won BUT there are still unanswered questions.

Thank you for the updates. Reads like the team needs to gel some more.

Would appear you are correct .

Re: Dons vs West Wales Raiders 8th March 2020 @ 3:00pm : Sun Mar 08, 2020 7:33 pm  

A rather strange game in my opinion. 50 points on the board but I still think there’s more potential in the team.

As per previous comments, the start was dire. Any half decent opponents would have had a field day in the first quarter.

Seemed rather surreal being 28 points up at halftime after being so poor.

Had a purple patch in the second half for 10/15 minutes after the 55 minute point but seemed to drift away again.

Set completion stats & penalties for & against could make interesting reading.

Ok, time to be controversial: did we look better with or without Rangi on the pitch?

Really hope he can reproduce the magic, especially in the absence of Watson Boas.

There's something not quite right with Rangi do t know whether it physical or mental but something is missing.

Re: Dons vs West Wales Raiders 8th March 2020 @ 3:00pm : Sun Mar 08, 2020 8:17 pm  

Rangi's form or lack of it is a concern. Missed the last match due to illness , assume he has missed training . During an early break which he was supporting , he seemed to pull up . Struggled the rest of the half and was replaced . With hindsight may be the coach should have played Howe.

One positive is that Ryan Dixon seemed to come through his comeback , I think he could do a good job at prop.

Concerned about our current form .
