Whitehaven (Home) - Sunday 14 July 2019 15:00 : Tue Jul 09, 2019 7:22 am  

The third of the fixtures at Featherstone's LD Nutrition Stadium and the opposition are the league leaders Whitehaven.

This has the feel of a pivotal game should the Dons harbour any hopes of automatic promotion and a defeat would also hamper the chances of finishing second or third with the benefits that brings in the play offs.

Back to back wins away at Coventry Bears and West Wales Raiders coupled with other promotion / play off rivals taking points off each other sees the Dons in 4th place in League One, currently five points behind Sunday's opponents Whitehaven.

Former Man of Steel (2011) Rangi Chase will come in to contention and with Jordan Howden and Watson Boas injured could possibly partner Matty Beharrell at half back should the Clubs top points scorer this season be passed fit after missing the West Wales game following an injury against Coventry.

Last Season: Doncaster 44 Whitehaven 6 (Sunday 11 March 2018).
Dons Tries: Jordan Howden 2, Liam Harris, Jack Sanderson 2, Sam Doherty, Connor Bower 2, Jez Litten.
Dons Conversions: Liam Harris 3.
Dons Penalty: Liam Harris.

Please Note: This fixture is at the LD Nutrition Stadium, Featherstone (Kick Off 15:00).

I would take Brown, Wynne & Litten if Boas is out .

Jez Litten and Rangi could really get us buzzing if working well together. Levy Nzoungu has impressed me lately too.

Unless I'm missing something, we will potentially only have one loan player this weekend (Hodgson) so could in theory get more help from Hull.
