As it stands, Wilkinson and Wilson are the only 2 of those 12 not to play for the club this season in the league. Wilkinson has had an operation, and I believe Wilson picked up a knock in preseason.

I would like to see Walton have a run out, thought he played well in the pre-season.

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.: |

Miller (DR) *
Wilkinson
Carbutt
Kesik
Robinson
Snitch
Starling *
Emmett
Wilson
Spiers
Spaven *
Waterman
12 of the 17 are available, but I think it may be a bit too early for Rich Wilkinsons return.'"
Crooks. Cowling
Hodson. Doherty
Miller. Cookie
Starling. Dunn
Wilson if unfit Clarke
Wilkinson and Spaven not so easy to replace without DR but should be able to give a good account albeit against an improved Leigh side. |

Write for a few rugby league websites, mainly about the Kingstone Press Championship.
Usually found in Sunderland, sometimes in Sheffield.

Few bits and pieces.
Doncaster and Leigh have met 48 times altogether, 2 in the John Player Trophy, 4 in the Challenge Cup, 41 times in the league, and 1 time in Playoffs. In that time, Doncaster have won 7 matches, with Leigh winning all the others.
The first meeting between the two teams took place on 12/2/1955, with Leigh winning 19-6 in the first round of the Challenge Cup. It wasn't until the 7th fixture between the two that the Dons won, with a 14-7 victory at Leigh on 21/9/1968. The double was completed when the Dons ran out 13-4 winners in the return fixture at Tattersfield on 8th March 1969, the 45th anniversary of which is this coming Sunday.
Since that time, the Dons have only won 5 fixtures against Leigh, with memorable occasions such as Johnny Woodcocks last minute winner in 2001, and last seasons victory being amongst the highlights for the Dons.
The biggest winning margins in the fixtures are 11 points for Doncaster (29-18 victory, 25/06/2000, Wayne Parker with 4 DG and Steve Booth with 1 DG) and 72 points for Leigh (3-75, 28/03/1976)

I'm trying to think back to which of those game would have been the first one I would have seen!
Maybe the 12-2 defeat on 30th March 1975.

If the squad announced is correct then looks like holt and kittrick at half backs both promising young players but against a very strong leigh side I fear the worse, saying that if Wilko isn't fit I wouldn't want to risk him and miss next week when we have a more realistic chance, some of the other absentees are strange unless injures, Lee as been our most consistent player, and Liam Welham impressed in pre season, one of very few.

Wilko was targeting this match, but I think its come a week too early for him, however, Tom Holt is more than capable in the half backs, and its been a while since a Donny lad played half back for the Dons (no prizes for a correct guess)..

I eventually found the Leigh preview at the Dons website. I regularly check out the news section but hadn't realised there was a preview link at the top of the page. Surely the team selection (or preview) deserves a mention in the news section too?
With regards to the team, it's good to see Jack Walton get a game. He deserves his chance after some good efforts in the pre-season games.
The team, as shown on the website, is shown below:
Clark Full Back Worthington
Cowling Winger Armstrong
Doherty Centre Kay
Dunn Centre Ridyard
Emmett Winger Brierley
Holt Stand Off Beswick
Kelly Scrum Half Wilkes
Kesik Prop Barlow
Kittrick Hooker Penkywicz
Robinson Prop Pownall
Scott Second Row Platt
Snitch Second Row Reynolds
Sanderson Loose Forward Spencer
Spiers Interchange Haggerty
Waller Interchange Hopkins
Howarth Interchange Acton
Walton Interchange Dixon
