Dons v Leeds (Kyle Kesik Testimonial) Sunday 13th Jan 3pm : Wed Jan 09, 2019 2:52 pm  

I've already posted this on another thread but thought it appropriate to put it on here too:

I've got huge admiration for Kez. Many would have spit their dummy out when they lost the captaincy, but not Kez. He's a true professional.

I would please ask everyone to put aside any issues they may have with the club because this is our chance to say 'thank you' to a guy who has been an incredibly loyal servant. It would be awful if there were only 300 or 400 turn up. Please get down on Sunday if you can. Let's try and get 700 or 800 down there.

Rugby League needs people like Kyle. He comes back for more every time he gets his nose broken!

Although he's got about as much hair as me, I hope he can continue to entertain us for a few more years to come!

Please show your support for him on Sunday.

No matter how you feel about the club, management, coach,ground or anything else, Sunday is all about one player who has worn the blue and gold with pride for 10 YEARS.
So please but any grievances aside for this one game and show your support for Kyle.

Looks a stronger line up than Hull named last week.

Matty Chrimes, Ryan Dixon, and Kieran Lawton played in last weekend's games.

Ryan Dixon is 26 by the way.

At the Fans Meeting on Thursday night, Carl mentioned that an ex-Hull KR player might be playing this weekend but I can't remember his name. It could be Nathan Slater but I'm not 100% sure.
