Last Friday played his 100th game for the Rhnos since making the move from the Brookvale Oval in 2006. He has remarkably scored 70 tries in that period making him one of the most prolific try scorers in world rugby.
Looking ahead to Sunday's game he admits that he is excited by the challenge. He commented, "It is going to be great. I didn't think this chance would come about when I left the Sea Eagles but it is a big challenge for us.
"There are six or so guys still there from my time at the club and I went down and met up with them on Tuesday night. After spending last week in London, they are really enjoying being in Leeds this week," added Donald.
The flying winger made 68 appearances for Manly in three seasons at the club from 2003 to 2005 and he knows how important Sunday's game will be to the famous club and their passionate supporters. "They will have been targeting this game throughout pre-season and there is nothing they would like more than to take this trophy back home with them. They are a proud club with a rick history, just like Leeds, and that sets it up for a great contest," added Donald..
With his knowledge on the Sea Eagles side, Donald has highlighted two players that the Rhinos will have to keep an eye on. "Matt Orford is a key part of their performance, he is their organiser and a massive part of their success in recent years. Brett Stewart is one to look out for too on Sunday. He has got a lot of pace and has the knack of popping up and scoring tries."
