Douglas should be available again next week

Peltier seemed to be walking the better of the other two at the end, Mudoti was limping quite badly

2nd half was very enjoyable, team has more go forward when Ross is in at dummy half, when the ball gets moved quickly you have plenty of speed to make the most of it, some really good support play.
My only criticism is that for some reason you like to move the ball to tour right edge when it’s more natural to go to the left, when you’re in the oppositions 20 it’s pretty obvious where the balls going, I know you put 40+ unanswered points on the board but to be honest london were a very poor team and didn’t really offer much in either attack or defence, the 2nd half showed what they were really made of.
Hopefully be at the hunslet game, don’t think we’re allowed in to Wales yet but if the weather was anything like this weekend I’d be tempted to make the trip if we’re allowed

Pretty familiar pattern to games like this. The lesser side puts up resistence for the first 40 minutes and then finds it difficult later on.

Losing Richard Wilkinson from full-back didn't help the Skolars but as soon as there was more room for our playmakers we looked far the better side.

With Beharrell, Boas, Whitmore, Johnston, and Misi we've got 'defence openers' all over the field. We've not seen so much flare for a long time.

As long as the forwards keep getting on top we should score plenty of points. To win the league we probably need to improve defensively. Barrow have conceded 62 points, Workington 94 points, and the Dons 126.

There's a player a lot of people mention as a key man, and I just don't see it at all, he'd be the only change to the regular 13 I'd make. I won't name names publicly cause it wouldn't be fair on him, particularly as I seem to be in a minority

Re: Doncaster v London Sunday 6th June 3.00 pm : Mon Jun 07, 2021 3:44 pm  

Perhaps it would be good for folk to name their strongest 17 and their preferred starting 13...
That way players can't feel too slighted...
I could have a go, thing is I work from the point of view of who I would play only as back up, but with an open mind if they showed promise...

I have one too (and quite correctly, I wouldn't name names publicly either).
