If York win we do need to win to stay close.
If York lose, we need to lose to finish fourth.
Why?
Because if we finish third, we probably lose away at Toulouse.
If we finish fourth we will have a good crowd at the Keepmoat versus Toulouse and a chance to get the two points back.
It's just my view, others may disagree.

Then got to town in the eights and playoffs.

Either way I think we will lose at Rochdale.
They haven't got Lineham on Sunday ...

Feka has to play one more game for us to be eligible for selection in the end of season play-offs. He's probably going to be fit for the first game in the next phase of the comp. He's still recovering from his injury at the moment.

Jordon Howden has been really good for us since he came back from injury. I think he's one of our key players. We'll miss him on Sunday.

Don't know the rationale ...
But leaving out Carr, Howden, Kesik and other first team choices is asking for it.

Carr has a dead leg & Howden hip problem .

I think I follow that Said to Baz yesterday that I really fancy us to give Toulouse a game at the Keepmoat. We do appear to be ok a the moment and going into that 8 with good form, and a nearly fit full squad. Just need a bit of luck.

Never an easy place to go is Rochdale (apart from The Cemetery Hotel)

I reckon you could give Toulouse a good game at the Keepmoat though you will need to cut down the errors and hope they don't make the same basic errors which made Donny look competitive in France.
The key that day was the kicking of Howden so he needs to stay fit.
Good luck at Spotland.

Thanks for the reply. I hope that Toulouse do make the same basic errors ( if I've read that correctly) Errors are all part of human nature and sport is no exception. I really think that the term Sport has lost its meaning to most folk these days, sadly.

Carr, Howden and Kez carrying knocks. M. Welham - FB with Sheriff in at 6. Nice to see Aaron JB in the side again, thought he had a very good game last week.

Re: Rochdale V Doncaster Sunday 10/7/16 3pm : Fri Jul 08, 2016 11:05 pm  

Fair play if injured.
Don't like the sound of Howden having a hip injury.
Given his history ......
Could scupper our chances.
