Ref was poor, but he didn't miss tackles or allow numerous offloads, architects' of our own downfall. Need to tighten up and move on, and not let our season fizzle out.

Sheffield are worse than Swinton and were piggybacked to victory on the back of two pointless penos and Cooke failing to find touch on a peno.

RANK!

Agree 100%. TBH Cooke has been poor for his last few games now - perhaps time for him to retire and focus on his coaching?

As for the rest of the team we seem to conspire to throw games away now it seems. It's like we are playing limbo: how low can we go?

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield 3/8/14 3pm : Sun Aug 03, 2014 5:07 pm  

Poor

Obstruction in front of line, cant play ball in front of line, get up and drop ball, can't find touch, 2nd go after tackle, pass above a players head....need I go on.

At 10 mins to go Eagles had run out of ideas and we single handily gave them the game.

Can somebody sit down and just explain to the guys that poor decisions and poor discipline is simply the basics that new players are coached on.

I hope Spurr is strong enough as number 2 to critique Paul also

Last few weeks keep reading the boys are hurting etc etc...

We threw that away and in front of a decent crowd....see previous posts on how to increase attendances......

I don't much care about play offs but finishing as high as possible is just business sense for next season.

No doubting the effort in the main, but who is making the calls on the park and who is being held accountable when making the above. Ref was poor BUT Eagles knew how once in front how to play... What are the half back options for rest of season as next week is going to be one of the hardest yet...

Castle well deserved MOTM.

We were well in control of a game at 22-12 and no reason to lose,
UNTILL the 2 players who were making in roads and sheffield couldn't handle{ WATERMAN AND DUNN }
AND HE TAKES THEM OFF!!!! AND THEN HE GOES AND CAN'T FIND TOUCH AND SHEFFIELD SCORE!
Well PC you lost us a game we should have won comfortably.

Ref was still absolute rank again i don't know where he got half his decisions from.

Season going from good to bad in 3 wks. Can't believe it.

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield 3/8/14 3pm : Sun Aug 03, 2014 5:59 pm  

The only good thing out of today is that Dewsbury and Batley lost.

i think for next season we need some proper bigger,wingers with pace that can beat someone on the outside.
We don't have anyone who can do that, i think sandos time has probably come aswell,
he was through today and couldn't beat them for pace and his size probably lets him down aswell.

I am not putting him down just making a fact and next season will be even harder.
Bradford and London should be favourites to finish in the first 2 places which leaves a massive scrap for the other 2.

Glad I am away for a fortnight because I think we are playing like pricks and I need a break from mediocrity.
Sheffield were shiite but won.

Wilful stupidity I can't forgive.
That is what is had come down to.

Don't think they would have caught Hodson but a poor game out of position at full back seems to have cost him his place on the wing!

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield 3/8/14 3pm : Sun Aug 03, 2014 6:41 pm  

never went today as away on holiday but with 4 games left and sitting 4th I think its been a great effort from all involved. I certainly think its been a great season 6 points clear of Dewsbury its our 4th place to lose and after the season so far would be disapointing if that was to happen. Go again next week and i will be there to cheer on the lads COYD
