An opportunity to return to winning ways with the visit of the Crusaders who have just one league win this season, that coming against West Wales Raiders 70-8 on Good Friday.

There has been a suggestion that Matty Beharrell may be available for the game and new signing Watson Boas is another half back option.

Last Season: Doncaster 28 North Wales Crusaders 20 (Sunday 8 April 2018).

Dons Tries: Brandon Wilkinson, Connor Scott, Jason Tali, Richard Owen, Brad England.
Dons Conversions: Hakim Miloudi 4.

An opportunity to return to winning ways from whinging ways for me.

Needs a solid performance against a decent outfit.

Trying to put together a 17, my best guess sees Ogden and Wilkinson not making it.

Where does Howden fit in ?

I think it could be Howden & Foster .

I agree.

Howden is the obvious one to drop for me
Of the back row options Cox gives us an offload game Jordie has been playing well, Thompson should be a class above at this level if he is who I am thinking of, and we will want Wilkinson on the bench to bring him back so foster makes the most sense to drop.

Ogden to maintain his place to give Kes a breather unless Hedges is intended for this in which case Foster stays.

I assumed Beryl and Howden at 6/7. We don’t have many options for backs so would be brave to not have one on the bench whether it’s Howden or Boas.

I’d like to see Wilkinson get some game time, thought he might have had a run out with Hull reserves first

Either way, the fact we all have different ideas shows we have options, which has to be a good thing
