The team seemed to be doing everything I called today. Great to see them get the ball out wide. There was no way we going to match it with their massive pack. The players who had owed us big games delivered today and that made a massive difference.
Is Mike Coady now a second rower?
My only concern was how we tired for the ten minute period which allowed Whitehaven the two tries.
Lets go to Rochdale and give them the same game. However that might be hard as the pitch is narrower.

I have got to admit I thought that Whitehaven would come and steamroller us, just like Worky did ... but I was wrong. What a great performance that was today, particularly by our wingers. Our tackling was sensational. I'd like to think we took our foot off the gas in the last ten minutes, but all that showed was what a good side we had played and totally nullified for the other seventy minutes. They were big guys and we pulled them down, we shoved them back, we dumped them on their @rses. That was the Dons at their finest this season. Well done! COYD

I was tempted to take a picture of you at half time.. The smile on your face said it all.

Very impressed with the team, credit to them all and to the coachin staff etc. It does show however that we have to remain focussed for the full 80 as we progress through the play-offs. Neverthe less, a big thumbs up.
