Well done to all those who played but what is the situation going to Tolouse do they have to find their own fares and hotel costs?

According to todays Rugby-League press all the players who turned out yesterday did so without being paid a penny--

For that they deserve to be applauded by the fans who remain loyal to the club.

Agreed Bruce.

Im sorry but i just cannot join in with the " thanks for your efforts lads" posts that are going on here.As soon as the contracts have been terminated theyve gone.they could have played on match terms but chose not to. Id sooner concentrate my efforts on lads who are sticking it out and the people behind the scenes who are trying to make sure there is a team here next year.

I know ill get stick for this but thats how i feel.

No stick from me mate.

I do think that some situations are different to others though.

Examples ...

Alex Benson ... no Club to go to, might as well stay with us and accept match payments but chooses to quit. That one I can't get my head round.

Craig Lawton ... whatever we think now, has been a decent servant to the Club over the years.

Not 100% sure but believe the RFL pays towards the Flight/Hotel costs--
but i would have thought it won't be easy for any of the squad who are now left to have time of work.
And would have expected the players who have recently left us to have
been named on tickets bought for the flight's which will now have to be changed at very short notice if thats possible..

Ill certainly chip in to get the lads a pint after the game next week! Top Blokes!! This is why i cant believe some fans have stopped coming to the games.These lads are flogging their guts for nothing and some folk cant be bothered to come and support them!!

Well done to all at the club concerned!

Thats why I am prepared to chuck at least a fiver in if there is a collection at the Gateshead game

Well i might try and see if we can have a bucket for donations for the lads to have a cold beer from the fans of Doncaster and hopefully some of them will return next season.




I will try and get to the fans traveling over to France to donate something for the guys.
