I agree that what the team have achieved for the season has been great, however today's performance was not in that class, so to criticise the paying public for leaving after 75 minutes when another soft try had been conversed appeared harsh and not really high maintenance.
We have consolidated our position with no relegation fears and the playoffs to come, that does need applauding.

Well played Batley , better team on the day, had more fire power than us !

Thanks for your efforts today.

I think Batley should be applauded for their performance today. Best performance by any visiting team at the Keepmoat, and arguably as good as anything we have served up this season.
Batley's back 3 of Greenwood Brown and Rettie, did shed loads of work and got them going forward.

As for the Dons I think its been a superb season, one that we've over achieved significantly. To finish 4th is massive and Cooky and his team need to be applauded, and in my opinion deserved a better reception at the end of the game. (But that's just my opinion)

Are we serious about how good Batley were?
I thought they were about the fourth best side we have played at home.
And our performance was the worst.

Yeah we may well recover, but I doubt it.
We will be playing Leigh away and then probably Sheffield at home ... kiss the season goodbye.
Out in a fizzle ....
Only diehards will stay ... seriously!
I thought we took a big step backwards today, Cookey was almost invisible today apart from an intercept pass with shades of Holroyd.

Still we've had a good season.

Old polished head Kear will be lauded on Sky by Eddie and Stevo as he lays out his masterplan of how he beat Doncaster ... one game away from the SACK!

Perhaps if you'd have been a bit more consistent all season and not reliant on others on the final day (just a thought) ...

Or we could have just played some duel reg players that shouldnt have played and gained extra points that way?

Some, factually incorrect, just the 'alleged' one. Points, factually incorrect too. We lost that game, thought you might have remembered

Re: Dons v Batley 07/09/2014 : Sun Sep 07, 2014 8:34 pm  

how do you get extra points for playing Dual reg players or duel reg whichever.

Must be new rules, you still have to win the game.
