Don't you just hate predictive text

Was always going to be a huge test and every credit has to be given to Dewsbury for making it so tough, especially down the middle. I think at a ground like that we sometimes worry too much about the lack of space out wide and take our eye off the ball down the middle. They more than matched us in the forwards and certainly played things a lot smarter at times. Yes the referee didn't cover himself in glory (the 'forward' pass towards the end was a joke) but we made it too easy for him to give penalties, and he's not the one missing tackles down the middle. Very much a relief to get the two points.

Thankfully we are celebrating another win, anyway, but we defended as poorly as I've seen from us all season. We didn't cope well with Dewsbury's big pack and sprightly attacking play, especially down the middle. We looked almost tired at times defensively.

Credit to Dewsbury, they played to their strengths and capitalised when we made errors.

Fortunately, though, our attack was still more than good enough, lead by the impressive Kay, and we should have scored more.

I found the ground to be quite tidy and pleasant. Dewsbury fans were "passionate" (we stood in amongst them for first 20 minutes by mistake!) and being close to the pitch they "make their presence known" but I didn't feel intimidated or particularly unwelcome.

I really enjoyed the match and atmosphere.

Good luck to them, but I'm not so sure they've got the squad to finish in top 4 this season.

I've always liked Dewsbury's ground (apart from when they used to lump that great big gantry in the middle of the South Stand for TV games) and the new terrace and scoreboard help that no end. Will be even better if they put terracing at the other end as seems likely.

Wasn't it Merrick who ref.d last years Workington v Leigh game and disallowed several Leigh trys for forward passes ??

Good to grind out a tough away win - never an easy place to go. Not every game will be champagne and caviar! TWENTY-THREE wins in a row takes some doing - well done lads!

Seemed to me our first try was a forward pass to Kay. On the other hand the ref disallowed two others which were obviously good tries and infact the last one he called forward was mindblowing.

Apart from the ref however it seemed some of our players had no studs on their boots.

Dewsbury did well but a win is a win and glad that performance is out of our system.

As has been said a wins a win , not our best performance by a long way ,but again the last 2 disallowed tries for me were nowt wrong with them, again Emmitt had a blinder,Ryan passing game gets quicker and better every week,I heard a few Leythers criticise Platt but I thought he had a good game and Kays finishing is top class.
Dews are a decent team especially at home ,and hopefully today's tough game will tee us up for Fax next week which will be another tough rough game.Cmon you on Leythers.Does anyone know what's up with Hock?As Charlie doesn't, and neither do any Leythers it seems.

Thought it was 2/3 years ago but yes

True.

he handed same fixture to you on a plate last season

Thought defensively we were quite poor today (by our usual standards). Still must be hard, Dewsbury are a big, strong, powerful team on such a small pitch suiting them to the ground. Every year Dewsbury suprise me by how much better than they are than the previous, do think in 2/3/4 years they'll be where we are now pushing for SL unless those bottom SL teams improve. Ref was absolutely awful, got a lot of key decisions quite clearly wrong which cost both teams a fair few points, no where near good enough, should be dropped down to League 1, see if any of their top refs are any better. Still another win, hard fought or not still counts, still top of the league.

Well, they have certainly got the opportunity to set some foundations, from the cash they have received, from the sale of land adjacent to their stadium - where all those houses were springing up yesterday.
