Doncaster RLFC • Re: Restaurant Access
Regarding the upcoming season....
Logically, the players we kept from last season will be slightly better for playing together and hopefully, based on the second half of last season, will be very competitive.
But let's look at the side subjectively now....with apologies to other players who are very good, we have only 3 stand out players..Tali, Boas and Johnston. The rest are good players.
Our recruitment has been uninspired and lazy and hindbound by lack of money.
Those players coming in played their best rugby many years ago and serve to make the side older and slower, albeit adding significantly to experience.
Now Dewsbury and Workington will have had to recruit and cut their cloth accordingly with relegation so will take time to get to their best and will be hard to assess, except to say relegated sides usually compete well.
So there will be Dewsbury, Workington, North Wales, Hunslet, Oldham, Rochdale and us in the mix.
7 clubs...and our side having not too much special about them.
Obviously we will have to wait and see where we are at but It is gonna be another hard graft.
The first home game against Hunslet and the cup game against Oldham will reveal all....
