The King Of Leon Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 A tremendous advert for the Championship today, a real end to end game with some quality tries from both teams , played at last in glorious weather which makes such a difference from the usual mudbath conditions, only beaten really by the quality of Pelafasini ( Feka ) who was a handful everytime he touched the ball and set up donnys equalising try after we had hit the lead with 20 mins to go. To be 16-6 down at half time after losing Jake Normo to the sin bin and Lewis Reed to injury things looked bleak but the team showed great fighting qualities in the 2nd half to be 22-16 up but Feka turned it around with a damageing run and offload to level things up.A Donny drop goal with 10 mins to go seemed to win it but a try with the last move of the game from Tali wrapped it up but with a bit more better line defence in the 1st half we could have won this.Cant knock the effort though today , a great game.

hunslet ramone Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think you said it all there KOL , what a great game today, as good as as any super league game this season , that i have watched , end to end at speed.We just got a bit tired at the end . Toronto next week will have to play well to beat Donny , or they will loose their first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwindbag Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yes indeed good game yesterday, both teams seemed to enjoy the decent weather after playing in the wet and mud every week so far. However when it came to the last ten minutes and the scores were tied it was down to who would take control ... and unfortunately it wasn't us! Doncaster got the drop goal in early and the truth is we never really threatened or even got in their half for the remainder of the game ... difficult to say whether Reed having to go off so early, or Wilson playing on clearly carrying a knock played a part in the closing stages but we never managed to build a platform to get the winning score. Still, good effort all round again and we continue to improve. Still not entirely sure what our best 17 is and neither is Coyle judging by some of the changes. A few "old boys" played against us yesterday and - Barnett excepted - did quite well, notably Martin and Welham, until he decided to stop playing and take up refereeing in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weighman Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think L Welham was a bit miffed after being head butted in the 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
