Sean Archer
Scott Smith
Chris Hemmings

All have played 1st team for the Dons and from local sides.


Sean is awesome when in the mood, unfortunately he's so laid back he's horizontal!
Chris's knee wont stand the strain of pro rugby unfortunately, and he wouldn't turn out for Donny anyway now. You'd have to ask him the reason why.
Scott is a great prospect and again wont turn out for them for reasons only he should say.

There are a couple of others they should be looking at as well but probably wont due to the fact that they aren't from Cas, Fev or Hull.

But there is plenty of talent playing at both The Comps and Toll Bar, but they seem to be constantly overlooked in favour of players from outside the town who quite clearly aren't good enough.
IMHO that is.

I know Chris was extremely disappointed with how he was treated when he got injured.

I'm guessing that Scott doesn't feel that he's had a fair crack of the whip (just a guess).

The guy playing on the wing for the Comps at the moment (I think his name is Ashley) is head and shoulders over those played this season but it's up to the coach - My advice would be, if you haven't looked at this guy, you should. He's got strength and pace and looks like one of those players who would be a real crowd favourite.

Wing really is a position of weakness for the Dons at the moment, so we need to look at other options.

Why not look at this lad, Macdonald who played last year is another option, and IMO China or Wayne Green could do a better job then the likes of Collins, Wilson, Winter and King who have all played this season.

Having said that Henry and Obsorne might be the 1st choice Wing combo when/ if they are both available

Agree about Scott MacDonald who I mentioned earlier in the thread. I really was impressed by the guy from the Comps who I think is called Ash Williams.

Yes its Ashley Williams ( related to the past player Chappie Williams ) speed of a winger but strength of a centre/second row and fearless in tackle.

Good full back Harcombe, didn't he go onto Wakey where he got a few Wales caps?
