Easy peasy.



Just had to come to Bullbuilder events.

Think Bullsfab's been well and truly owned on this one.

I don't think they've actually discovered a definition of owned that would be suitable to fully describe just how owned he has been

donaldson- total wally for sulking when he is brought off the pitch due to his inability to make an impact.

plus what has his mother got to do with him being a nice bloke or a decent player?

england squad- now that is a joke.

he was good at kiddies level but not SL im afraid. he has had his chances when sibbit, langley and olby were injured and has not shown his worth. get rid once his contract expires next year as he is way down in the pecking order. Sibbit and old horse compared to donno is miles ahead of him this year

it is amazing that people suggest who we get rid of and dont expect to be pushed on replacements. if you dont have any realistic replacements in mind then are you expecting us to simple use others in our current squad?

Absolutely.



Any fool - or shìt-strirrer - can do that. And we see too many of those.

Could have sworn the only time I saw Donaldson on the pitch he was wearing a blue T-shirt and carrying a kicking tee but I stand corrected.

Come on Adey, it's now surely apparent to us all that Donaldson and Donaldson alone is the reason we're having such a bad year. Over the hill and a terrible influence on the team, and this is coming from people who know him way better than we do.

doh im talking about catalans game

and yesterday he was playing his most valuble role as water boy!!!!

i wholeheartedly agree with bulls fab- get donno out!

ok, what criteria are we judging donaldson on here?? yards per carry? tackles? line breaks? and after we bin him off, which players shall we look at to come in on similar salary levels??



there seems to be not comparing of abilities going on here, or acceptance of age or his recovery from injury. are we getting value for money, im guessing so but could be wrong. obviously we d all prefer hoffman or o donnell, but im guessing they earn a little more and arent queing up to play at the bulls

Having looked at Donaldson's stats nothing really stands out, which you'd expect.



He doesn't contribute anything outstandingly good in terms of attack or defence. If anything his stats are on a par with those of someone like Ian Kirke and thats the same in 2010 as well as 2011. Kirke averages more metres per carry and even takes the ball up more but averages fewer tackles. I would say thats Donno's stats of an average of 5.3m per carry and 6 carries per game show a lacking of anything in attack even for someone feeling their way back. The stats weren't much better in 2010 where he averages 6.4m per carry, 7 carries per game and the same number of tackles.



Comparing him with other players of a similar age he's some way behind the likes of Liam Farrell and Liam Watts.



I'm not sure what he's sent out there to do. Is it to make heaps of tackles? It can't be to get us over the gain line and it certainly isn't to break tackles or to create tries.



Think we need to remember he's still a young kid and is coming back from a bad injury. His stats aren't anything to write home about but frankly neither are anyone's in the team and some players have far worse figures such as Whitehead and Ah Van.
