Not that any of you will be surprised.Last night's televised demolition of Doncaster Lakers set the benchmark for the rest of the National League promotion contenders and Doncaster, if you believe the people that run the club, were supposed to be one of them.
The Tigers racked up 66 points from 13 tries, starving Doncaster of possession throughout the game, forcing errors and clincally finishing their attacking plays.
Having spoken to people at the club prior to the National League kicking-off, it's clear the people at Welford Road are on a mission. The squad is right and the off-field operation looks to be moving in the right direction, with a new home at Glasshoughton in the pipe-line. Unusually for a Rugby League club, they're also thinking long-term. Having had to patch up a Super League squad in the space of a few months last season, it's evident that Super League recruitment has already begun. The squad is filled with quality, not least with Awen Guttenbeil and Danny Brough committing to the club despite last years relegation and as evidenced last night, the club's junior ranks are starting the bare fruit.
Widnes will obviously have something to say about this and it would be easy to forget how they dismantled Leigh last week. Whilst Castleford will end the regular season at the top of the tree, promotion does ultimately come down to one day in October at Headingley.
As for Doncaster, if that is a potential Super League franchise then perhaps it's time for a rethink on the whole concept. The club does have a stadium that would be the envy of certain Super League clubs and the pre-match entertainment is very much reminiscent of the "Bullmania" that has made Bradford famous, but the playing side is a long way from the required standard. The club made the decision to go full-time this season and so far, it's not paying off. Super League in 2009? They've got no chance.

The Lakers are managerless.
It's obvious South Yorkshire will get a franchise and Sheffield Eagles won't be the one to get it!
Welford Road? ;)
Seriously, why don't you change the bloody awful glaring errors in this blog?
If this is meant to showcase your work as a future sports journalist, surely it would be best to cut the crap when it's pointed out?
Keep fighting the good fight...
Doncaster seem to be struggling at the minute, although their latest win did them some good.
Are Cas really that much better than Widnes?
Did you Know, This Country belongs to the People, NOT to Parliament, Our common rights predate Parliament
currently, without our consent it is sold for the cost of a £40.00 Immigration pack.
It is to be surrendered to a foreign Power, the EU.
We have never been asked about this nor given our consent to this.
This country is OUR Birthright, paid for with the Blood of Our Ancestors, It belongs to Our Chilren.
Immigration is to dilute Our National Identity, (and our vote), welfare is the Lure.
This must stop,
We must demand control of our Country back for Our Children
They are hoping we do not know this so educate yourself about our Constitution, yes we do have a constitution
and it is written, it is just on several documents rather than one, again, THEY will tell you we do not have and we need to write ourselves a (EU ) Constitution, this is a Lie.
Spread the word.Wake others Up they are stealing our Country, surrendering it to a foreign power is Treason.
Your MP is hoping you do not Know this, DEMAND that he votes against this treasonous plot if he wants to keep his seat
