QUOTE-- Gargoyle 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.
Unfortunatly the standard of amateur rugby league in and around the south Yorkshire area has been historically well below that of its counterparts ie West yorkshire and Humberside in terms of quality teams at both club level and especially service area comps at all age groups.There has been some local players that have come through to play pro rugby and i hope that this continues in the future.
The point i really want to make is about the players in our squad at the mo who were not born and bred in the Donny area, we have all been made aware that all the players are on a pay as you play deal only this season, so these players have committed themselves to funding out of their own pockets an approx 300 mile round trip to training alone each week without even being guarenteed a place in the 17 man squad ( so could be well out of pocket if not selected) all for the cause of the Dons. I would love to see a team of all local lads in the Donny side but have to be realistic, how many would still be complaining about local lads if the Dons were top of the championship table with a squad of players that consisted of Cas, Fev n Hull players only?
