We didn’t put the hard work in that you need to do to win a game of Rugby League.

Fair credit to Batley they built the lead up in the first half, when we should have been doing the hard work, and they got the win.

I was a bit shell-shocked early on because it was the nature of the tries.

They didn’t have to work very hard to score. I’m a bit disappointed.

We did some talking at half time and got a response but not enough.

We left ourselves too big a mountain to climb and realistically I thought the game was won as early as sixty minutes.

I think we fell foul of a fussy referee but I’m not holding that up as an excuse.

We lost a man to the sin bin, then we lost another to the sin bin later on and that disrupted us.

We got beaten fair and square because Batley out-enthused us.

Batley were smart at the end, running the clock down, and we left ourselves in a position where they could do. We’ve got to rectify that.

You don’t win anything - and anything that is worth winning - without putting the hard work in.

I think we’ve fallen into the trap of believing the Press that has been written about us.

We played Lokomotiv Moscow a couple of weeks ago and we liked all the good things and started almost falling in love with ourselves almost.

We’ve got to get back to hard work.

Maybe this has been brewing. The performance at Sheffield wasn’t that great last week, although we got the win.

I’ve heard the sign of a good team is how you respond and I’m looking for a response at Doncaster.
