21 Bradley Tagg, 1 Danny Craven, 2 Kyran Johnson, 18 Jamie Cording, 3 Michael Channing, 17 Jack Ormondroyd, 5 Scott Turner, 12 John Davies, 15 Ian Hardman, 8 Darrell Griffin, 7 Anthony Thackeray, 16 Colton Roche, DR Jordan Baldwinson, 6 Kyle Briggs, 20 Luke Cooper, 14 Will Milner, 23 Andy Ellis, 10 Andy Bostock, 4 Misi Taulapapa

 

But no Tim Spears there. I assume he's picked up a knock but Ive not heard owt.

[elppaxr2i]

Spears didnt play any of second half last week so a knock may be accurate

Baldwinson also on leeds bench announced for tonights game v hudds so thats someone else probably coming in in his place even if its just a squad place

Yes. Achurch is not in the Leeds 17. Perhaps he'll be over?

[elppaxr2i]

Yes, Just noticed that achurch not there - hopefully he can make it across as he has done well for us in his games so far - unless he is injured

Achurch is an interesting player beyond the DR situation, his 4-year contract with Leeds ends this year and it's hard to see him being offered an extension, but although he's an Aussie he has just opened up a gym in partnership with Ian Kirke so who knows, if he doesn't get offered another SL gig maybe he might consider a semi-pro contract in the Championship.

[Bazzer]

Baldwinson is on the bench tonight for Leeds

[marklaspalmas]

Baldy's not got on yet as far as i can see

[jamescolin]

Watched the game. Didn't see him so perhaps he is still with us on Sunday.

Rovers won 21-20

[fev4evatiggerneva]

Worst 1st half an hour of the season, 2 or 3 shocking decisions from him in the middle, but great spirit to snatch the win in the end. Credit to Dewsbury they got in our faces and made it difficult for the half's to create anything. We need Ellis fully fit and doing a big stint and craven at 1 for our attacking options. Only problems slotting hardman in, been quality.

[jamescolin]

Couldn't understand the penalty given against us near the end. The ball from where I was standing didn't seem to go 10 yards from the kick off. Penalty to us I thought but the penalty was given to Dewsbury. Can any body explain why to my old eyes? If that had been kicked I would have been really p...d off.

[Robin Evans]

The ball has to travel ten.

If the receiving team takes the ball inside the ten.... as jamie did, it's a penalty from the centre spot.

If cording had left it and the ball failed to travel ten. ... We would have got the penalty

[LOWFIELD]

Lost count of the amount of times iv seen that in amateur, you can guarantee if the ball doesnt go ten from the kick of in amateur some numpty will always run and collect the ball not knowing the rules because they are stupid, 1st time iv seen it at pro though

[Robin Evans]

Bet jamie get some right pizz taken out of him t'neet

Deserves it was pretty stupid what he did

[HAVERCROFT10]

When Ellis fully up to speed, Craven has to be fullback.

[haskey]

That pass from Ellis to Briggs to score was out of the top drawer. Once he is up to speed who knows ?

Our fitness won us the match, after a ###### first half. The amateur man in middle was an absolute disgrace. Supporters should not have to put up which this kind of tripe having paid good money to watch the match .
