Whitehaven's last six games:

Bradford (A): Lost 58-0
Widnes (H): Lost 24-12
Sheffield (A): Lost 78-24
Swinton (A): Won 22-20
Toulouse (H): Lost 34-24
Fev (A): Lost 66-0

Points scored = 82, Points conceded = 277; Average For = 14, Average Against = 46

The Dons will certainly be favourites. I'd reckon the bookmakers will ask us to give Whitehaven 12 points start.

On a separate note, I missed the Toulouse game due to my wife Carol's terminal illness. It's the first home game I've missed since January 2015 when we played Cas in a pre-season friendly. I'm not sure when I'll next be able to attend.

Apologies if I go quiet on here as I'm tied up with lots of issues at home.

It's at times like this that full match replays would be handy instead of the downright awful 'tries only' highlights. Whoever puts the highlights together clearly has no appreciation that a rugby match is much more than 'tries only'.

Their home form is much stronger than their away form and in the difficult period they appear to have at the present time I am wary of complacency on the Dons part. We must be professional and although we are favourites I hope we do not take our foot off the gas so to speak. IMO forget big the big score mentality, just ensure we get a good start and stick to our own game plan and get the two points.

And remember no such thing as a certainty in Cumbria

Family first everything else second mate i hope all goes well, as for sunday i think with both teams recent form a 10/12pts handicap for the Don's isn't unrealistic although Wilf is bang on with that unsurprisingly they are much stronger at home and any trip to Cumbria isn't nice so whilst i think we will carry on our form and win the game I'd shake hands now on a winning drop goal in the 80th min!

Haven down to the bare bones squad wise and missing key players. Makes me more wary, just get the job done, play to our strengths and get the two points.

Batley beating Sheffield wasn't expected by most RL fans and look at that scoreline.


Over confident Doncaster Rovers went to Newport today and ended up getting out fought, out scored and outplayed. Please Dons don't have that same mind set.

The bookies are clearly taking no chance in light of Haven's threadbare squad.
