Why am I not in the least surprised this is happening? We've been inept and dull for 90 % of the season. You can't expect people to watch tosh week in and week out and I really do envy the diehards, but the standard of rugby we have had dished up to us this season has been enough to cure even the most hardened insomniac. It would turn me to drink if only they sold owt decent enough at the Keepmoat

Yet another sad chapter in the book of Doncaster RLFC

I believe a lot of this started last season when we paid for glory but have suffered long term.Players have and will always jump ship when it is getting battered and income is low.Remember Craig Weston etc.It is a fact of life with struggling clubs

Yeah, I remember Craig Weston, he was still here for weeks after many other high-salaried players had gone and as the senior man was asked by the remaining players to talk to the then Coach about team selection / tactics etc. The Chairman backed the Coach (not surprisingly) over the disagreement and Weston was out (although by then I'd be surprised if he wasn't relieved).

And this thread seems so long ago I bet: http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=402259 Note that I did refer to bringing round the buckets then! A solvency practitioner that I know said that you can always tell when a company is about to crumble when they errect a flagpole outside HQ. I think the equivalent in RL circles is a CC club talking about future entry to SL.

The Free Press makes for gloomy reading today.

But Miller is confident we can cause a surprise at Fev.
What surprise might that be then?

Just read thru this thread and it looks doom and gloom at Donny.Your team last season was great and it is so sad to see this happening.
Your team is steeped in history and im sure something or someone will step in and save the day.
