Dons + 12 10/11 with Bet365.
A Dons win is 3/1.


Now + 18 @ 10/11 or 7/1 for a home win.

Doncaster 18 - Toulouse 38 , plenty of effort but couldn't control the Toulouse number 6.
Best game of the season from Brad Nicholson who played out of position in the 2nd row.

One worrying aspect was the poor crowd , looks like some fans have given up on the 2016 season .

Going to need an effort to finish in the top 5 after Yorks victory away at Rochdale.

Good effort, but effort isn't going to be enough, we look what we are, a top half team, not quite good enough.

100% effort from the lads today - couldn't fault them.

Agree with hkr, we're a top half team but not good enough to challenge the better sides in the league.

This season might not quite be over yet but it'd take a remarkable twist of fortune for us to go up -we'd have to play out of our skin and others would have to have off days We've got to aspire to be as good next season as Toulouse are this season.

The crowd was disappointing. I guess it was a backlash from the Barrow defeat.

Paul, I think part of the problem is the fact that until a few weeks ago, we didn't know what the fixtures were. I missed the Barrow game (probably a blessing) and I miss next week, simply because I had to make decisions when I couldn't know if we were home or away ... I'll wager I'm not alone.

I fear that a continuation of this philosophy will cost the sport many supporters.

Good point Gary .
A sad state of affairs indeed , will be there ,god willing , to cheer the boys on next Sunday .

Its not only the Dons who are suffering with poor attendances I watched the three televised games from Widnes,St Helens & Leigh & none of these grounds were fully open the empty stands & terracing look terrible perhaps Sky request the home teams to place most spectators on the side of the stadium the cameras are facing like it or not the game is slowly dying

I think we got what was expected today a good effort from the players but totally outclassed, there is no way we are in the promotion race and next year we will be in the same boat ie replace toulouse with toronto, unless we recruit well over the winter (not going to happen) then this time next year we we be where we are now. The crowd , or lack off one, speaks volumes for our crisis. Im trying hard to find some positives , but to be honest from what Im seeing there aint none. Another year in this pathetic league does not appeal to me, (unless the structure is changed home away fixtures for all the teams) Toronto coasting to the top of the league, Someone please tell me Im wrong. Felt for the players today, Outclassed .

Entertaining game with Toulouse showing too much quality in the end. Donny were superb and better than the 20 points difference. A lot of effort which matched the French for much of the game.
Disappointing crowd must have enjoyed the performance despite the los, it's no disgrace being beaten by a better team on the day.
The ref didn't help with some inconsistency in the first quarter but he let it flow eventually to allow both sides to play some nice stuff.
Loads for GT and the lads to work on and all is definitely not lost so get behind the team for the next game.

More importantly, re the fish & chips - Whitby's was the first one of the list I found and I have to say the F & C were absolutely sublime............Britain will remain 'Great' as long as the fish & chips are as good as that !!
