Does anyone else think Dixon or Mclaughlin could play middle , think Horne G will be the extra middle to play at 13.
Do not know how the coach will fit Beharrell , Chase & Boas in the starting 13 if Logan is to start at 1 & Cross is back soon.

Any update on the injuries apart from Jordie.

We have the makings of a good squad .

When Beryl is fit he will start at 7, I am sure of it. Boas will float around and probably come off the bench. I really would rather he wasn't at fullback

Agree , my point was that in the modern game a coach will pick 2 middles , a back row forward & a hooker off the bench.

Was impressed with Carter yesterday & if Cross is fit soon , the coach has a dilemma.

A side can only accommodate 2 small players on the pitch at one time in my humble opinion.
Without some compensating beef, they will be targetted.
Dons sides of recent years have not been big enough per player.

What about Cross at 13. Carter starting and Boas on the bench? Some nice options there.

One thing I thought yesterday is that Cross is going to love playing alongside Peltier. His runs are made for him being on his shoulder

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield Sunday 19/1/20 2pm kick off : Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:44 pm  

Agreed. Cross is a support player not an out and out dummy half. 13 seems a good fit for me.

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield Sunday 19/1/20 2pm kick off : Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:46 pm  

Another positive note btw. A fully fit Brad England.

Re: Doncaster v Sheffield Sunday 19/1/20 2pm kick off : Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:50 pm  

Coaches tend to go for the Hedges or G Horne type.
Also thought the dummy half is supposed to back up the middles.
