| A bonus point would be a bonus for me.
Will be tough.
We beat Eagles and Batley away, which were suprise results, hopefully we can up our game, we seem to do against the better clubs.

| Paul Cooke is still class and difficult to close down in the home 20. Thought PR attempted to rectify that in the 2nd half and we (Leyth) seemed to put more pressure on PC .

| To their eternal credit, although probably not to their benefit, Doncaster came to Leigh to play rugby. It was refreshing to see two teams compete, with no niggle or brawling.
Paul Cooke is still a class act, with superb handling, kicking and organisational skills, and had a hand in all four Donny tries. There could have been more but for superb tracking back by Brierley and Kay, to snuff out two line breaks that looked certain scores.
Looking forward to the return at the Keepmoat, another excellent stadium that encourages top class rugby.
Meanwhile, we could do with you guys sorting out Fev, Halifax and Sheffield for us, please!

| We only shipped a few tries more against Warrington without Cooke.
So I see shipping 50 points against Leigh as fairly poor.
We are in the run of mainly away games and are not really doing very well.
But overall things are good providing we beat sides like Rochdale et al.

| A very enjoyable game today, whilst we conceded 50 points it certainly wasn't a performance without a lot of positives, if we cut out silly penalties whilst in good field position and therefore good scoring opportunities then we would have certainly seen a closer score line. The injury to Lee Waterman in the first half certainly exposed us defensively down our left flank which Leigh exposed.
Leigh are by far the best team we've played this season in the league and credit to them, however Cookie caused tem problems throughout the game and with a quicker three quarter line in support we would have posted more points on the board, and I believe we have the personnel to do this, no disrespect to the players in these positions today who battled and performed with credit.
Well done to Leigh today and look forward to the return game at the keepmoat and hopefully a closer score. A great turnout by their fans a number I wish we could replicate.

For what it is worth that is the best Dons side I have seen play Leigh since Donny beat us at Hilton Park in the sixties.
I can't see you being outside the top 4 in the Championship this season.
Paul Cooke is a real general on the pitch.

| It would be nice to go one week without an injury and with the option some point this season to put out something like the starting 13!!!
Snitch is a great addition and hopefully will be up to speed sooner than later.
Mattie doing a decent job, but when you consider our main scrumhalf who was wanted by London hasn't played since Batley we are up against it, and that's why the guys filling and covering positions deserve praise.
A bonus was the best I was personally hoping for against Leigh so not end of world.
Also for other comments bear in mind what Wire did to Saints this weekend......
Every faith in Cooke.

| Can't argue with that, Leigh were pretty good.
Not many pie-muncher tries, which is good, but we were carved open lots of times and there were plenty of off-loads which weren't cut out.
I loved Starling's break, even though he then threw a forward pass for the try.
Well beaten no grumbles .... except that our intensity level dropped alarmingly.
