Dons v Gateshead Sunday 06/09/09 : Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:04 am  

Last game of the season & I think its time for one last effort from our fans to get behind the players who have stayed all season & the the players who have stepped in to keep rugby alive in Doncaster.

Well done to Carl , Tony & the coaching staff who must have worked overtime to get fulfill our fixtures.

Well done to the fans who stuck by the club, big raps to those fans who have travelled to away matches recently & who gave a good account of themselves !

Totally agree the coaching, backroom staff and players have done a magnificant job in difficult circumstances. They deserve as much support as possible from the Doncaster public at the last game. Its an opprtunity for the fans to show thier appreciation for whats been done to try to keep our club alive and to show that we want our beloved club to stay.

We might have a few players available who missed the Tolouse trip, hope the full back from Huddersfield plays Griffiths I think his name is .

Go out with a bang and beat gateshead

And hopefully keep Leigh up in the process

Seriously though I hope you will solve your problems and be back on the rise as soon as possible. You should all be proud of the way you have supported your club in the difficult times.

Seems Tony was pleased with how the two youngsters played in France i

reckon they deserve a run out in front of our home supporters for thier great effort against a big French side, players like these are our future if we can keep them

If he was quoted correctly in the free press its the best 17 , if the players picked want to stay next season they will put in a performance.

Dons 24 Gateshead 22
Come on You Dons !

the two young guys from the academy were stand out players for the 21's in a disappointing season, dont know much about howlett, but Liam Booth was signed from castleford when we were the lakers however failed to get a chance and went to huddersfield giants, feel they deserve a crack at it as Booths already played at barla under 18 and england students under 18s so seems if we can hang on theyll be ok, should have a good 2nd rower in young howlett and a good 13 with Booth both can also play at 6 so these 2 look promising along with big craig jones having some good steady games in his first season

Mate of mine who has seen a few academy games agrees with Highflyer about these two academy kids and how well they have gone this season.
Howlett is supposed to be from the Hull area who can play in the forwards or the backs, a talented youngster at the age of 17yrs. Apparantly he got one of the MOM awards from the supporters in Toulouse. Hope Tony gives these lads another crack next Sunday, players like these gives us great hope for the future.
