To be fair the five year plan announced from Club Doncaster involves the Rovers as well. I think their part in it may be a tad more optimistic than ours.

also to be fair they announced they had a 5 year plan aiming for
super league 2 yrs ago when
cookey was here. as in previous posts mentioning this, what happened to that first plan.
thrown in the waste bin by the looks which is where
the NEW 5 yr plan could well end up in 2 yrs and we start another one!

Would any of our players get into the Toronto side?
Under any circumstances?

The simple fact of the matter is we can't afford anyone with that kind of class.
Not the same as saying our lads are crap ... because we have a few gems ... well one to be honest.

We have not got the time within a five year plan to bring young players on with any continuity.

Toronto bought players that were the finished article, off the shelf so to speak.

For whatever reason we can't or won't do that.
Therefore we are not going anywhere if all we can do or afford is to sign players at league 1 level.

And that is what we are continually doing ... plus a few old hands with old legs.

I along with others continually hope for better times, but I pretty much know it is all a house of cards.

We are a steady community club that got swallowed into the larger Rovers set up.
I suggest furtherment is all wishful thinking.
But you gotta have a dream ..............................oh!, and a good TEAM!

When I think back to 2000 ... now that was a team.

Does that mean S-O you have not given up on The Dons after the Leeds game ?

No Paul, after the Leeds game I am stopping watching the Dons while ever Toronto is in our league. If next season the RFL stick another Toulouse/Toronto team in this league I am not coming then either.
A protest if you like ...
I know it does the Dons no good, but I am pretty much peed off with all the bullshit promises as well.

If they get promoted I will come back. If we have a FAIR league 1 next season and the Dons are in it, I will give it another look.

I wish the rest of you and the Dons well and hope the Dons get promoted.

I will still read the forum and post as appropriate.

Sorry to hear that , I will see the season out at least , have a 5 year old grandson who comes & another younger who we will bring along next season .

I think Toronto will be in the Championship next season along with Toulouse .
They looked very fit & well coached but they have been together for a few months & are full time .

Not sure about our future, things will have to change especially attitudes !

I have to say the rugby under Thornton is some of the most boring I have seen.

I shan't miss that ..

I actually feel a bit sorry for him. It's a bit of a poisoned chalice is the Dons job.

But he is making a pig's ear of it.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Way beyond 'a bad day at the office'.

No positives and a list of negatives as long as your arm!
