Finally we agree let’s hope we can back it up week in week out and we won’t be far off survival

| Quote: Harry Stottle "Hi Satanic, I did pose the same question on these pages some 6 weeks ago about the lack of recriutment, I was advised by those who seem to have some connections within the club to wait and see it would be much improved by the beginning of the season, not long to go now is there?
When was the right time, and who are the right people or am I mistakingly considering this is a debating platform?'"
I hope you enjoyed the game Harry.

| I thought you did really well today. Of course it's daft to take much from friendlies overall, but there were positives for you. Your kicking game was excellent and defensively you looked well organised. You look like you have a real chance of staying up if you focus on your home games in particular.
As for us, I'm not sure what that was all about. We only have one friendly so really could have done with keeping the changes to a minimum, like a regular game. Instead once we got in front we seemed to throw all the kids on and completely removed any momentum and chemistry we had. There are starting players going into the season with about 20 minutes gametime under their belt. I can easily see a slow start by us this year.

We had 6 of our new signings unavailable, plus there are more signings to come in due course,so overall, I was happy with that performance considering we haven't played a game for a year. BTW - How biased is Jon Wilkin?

| Well done from a Donny fan. Want to see you guys stay up especially with the powers that be forcing you to compete with one hand tied behind your back.

| At last a decent kicking game, anyone remember Reynolds and Woods dismal out of hand kicking game. Ellis and Mellor knitted well together, and Marty Russell was outstanding on the left wing with an enthusiastic pack of forwards led well by Thompson, topped off by a Ryan Brierley cameo at the end.
Very promising, now for the Wire!!

| Biased John Wilkin- Was he commentating on the game, all I heard was, what he used to do, his time at Saints and what a lovely guy Tommy Makinson is. Having slagged off Sky commentators maybe I'll appreciate them a little more this season. Wel done Leigh.

| I have always been convinced our starting 13 will be competitive, I just believe we need more depth in the squad to make sure we don't end up like Toronto and cant field a full team. We don't have a Sonny Bill taking up all our funds.

We will have to hold our cards until prospects either see us as viable or squads in Aus are cut, we saw last night that what we have is far better than some of the best up and comings, so they will be squad fillers on loan if needed.
Overall a great start

Eh ?
Little to learn from friendlies.We lost another to injury early.With our current player profile that looks likely as the games come thick and fast and played at a pace under the new rules that will cause strain.
I can see us with a row of seats full of injured players.
We have not just signed anyone sure we have been offered players but lets hope we can find 2/3 more first choicers who will give us a chance

It’s only 8 in sick bay, better than 16.. 5 of course not playing yet which is a concern. Or tactical.

A little harsh given Leigh haven’t had the luxury of building a SL team as Toronto did.

You had the luxury of not having to graft to get into SL like Toronto had to.
