Unfortunately today boiled down lack of creativity in the halves & having only one hooker doesn't help. Fair play to Donny they deserved the win & played some quick rugby with the ball but the ref was poor today for me. When Donny were were defending they was constantly in front of the ref & the try scored they scored in the corner from the kick looked offside. We missed Riddy massively & Kes when off too but I wish Rowls would of bought Gov back a few weeks ago he'd certainly help Penky/ Kes out whether in't halves or dummy half. Nothing I'd worry too much Donny are a good side & we was out of sync with no Riddy or impact 9 we'll be reet for Keighley.

Well this loss was coming. Still we managed it at the third attempt in as many weeks. Lets hope the end of our season is once again not spoilt by injuries. I'd rather we end with a bang and not a whimper. Too many whimpers these last few years.....and to all who thought it was game over think again. We have games against teams fighting to avoid the bottom five.

While I wasn't at the game it does at first glance look like without Ridy and Brierley we are clueless. Nilled in the 2nd half

We lost because we did not play well in the second half.


Dons 2nd try following a kick was quite a good few yards offside but irrespective if you don't score you can't win and second half we were poor.

Injuries obviously didn't help but we can play a lot better than that but we didn't.

Spot on. Yes they scored with what must surely have been an offside player in the second half, but it wasn't the referee missing tackles, forcing the ball or giving away the most daft of penalties; Wilkes' shoulder charge prior to Spaven's try early in the second half was absolutely pathetic and really isn't something a player of his experience should be trying to come up with.

The clamour for McNally to play half back should probably come to a grinding halt now, and as disruptive as Brierley's injury was, there was more than enough talent and experience to have guided us around the middle of the park without any issues, but the lack of organisation was staggering.

On the bright side, Barlow was immense again and it with any luck it will have been an almighty boot up the for the rest of them.

Must say credit to Doncaster by the way, they took their chances when they needed to and didn't half put us under the cosh and kept forcing the repeat sets which is always a big thing in warm weather like today.

I would bring Bate & Walker in for next Sat match and get that ruddy try machine back which we loaned out to Batley ...At ti

We all thought he was offside from the kick as well and we had a better view of it at the other end of the stand.I didn't even celebrate the try at first as I was convinced the ref as going to pull it back. Be interesting to see it on the video later in the week.

Couldn't really tell with McNallys double movement where we were if the ball hit the ground on the first impact or not. Great travelling support from you lot today. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Ref was in the right position for McNally's ruled out try,

Well I have said all season we would get beaten , so Charlie knew

, but what got my back up today was some so-called Leigh fans , I heard shouts of Rubbish ,and "This is crap Leigh " and other negative remarks , let me tell you , Leigh were well on top before young Ryans injury ,our defence was in particular very good , the pressure on our line in the first half was very strong yet we stood firm .I very rarely criticise Refs but thar try of Donnys was a mile offside , Crashley never penalised them once , McNallys try didn't look a double movement to me , and they knocked on twice , Crashley gave Donny the feed .

We had a few injuries out there today , Pownall was limping for most of the match , Armstrong looked very sore ,and Ryan missed a big chunk of the game , yet we still managed to create a fair few chances , Donny are a good team no doubt , its not the end of the world , we have lost a game , it happens , lets re-group for Saturday , we are still 10 points clear at the top which means we only need 11points to clinch the League Leaders shield , Fev have to play at the LSV and the Shay yet , and Fax have to go to Donny yet ,obviously im sad we lost , but not to down , Cmon you Leythers lets show the lads we care ,turn up at the LSV on Saturday , the doubters will see this League is still ours .Charlie knows .

Read your first sentance again



See you Wednesday.

Not nice is it Charlie to hear folk 'Bagging' players etc.. but as people keep putting on here 'Everyone has an opinion'


Me I believe in what my old Granny used to say 'If tha caunt speyk gud of a person then keep thi mauth shut'

Yes or play young Higson there from the start enabling Kay to cover Ridyards absence more effectively than Bob can at half back,

As much as I rate Bob as a fine hooker, one of the best outside SL in fact, he is not an half back in the memory of mon.
