I'd argue that that is actually our strongest line-up in terms of the 17 with Buttery at 18th man. (Who's voted for York, BTW? )

Don't think we can afford to count our chickens or be overly confident with this one. I've seen us put on some great showings over the years (like the Giants game), only to crash down to earth a week later in a game we should have won. York have some decent players - Esders, Thorman (who I believe is actually injured), Ford, Lee and Thackeray, who are all dangerous customer this level. As fans, we need to be cautious. Its not a nice feeling when you have egg on your face.

Agreed, Harold. The game at Don Valley immediately following the magnificent win against Barrow springs to mind. I took a couple of mates to that and was embarrassed at our poor showing. Same again at the Sheep's place following NRC triumph.
All we can say is that if we play to our full potential we should beat York. Batley to win by 18.

Agree with the team that's been listed, even though i've been really impressed with what i've seen from Buttery when he's been given a chance. A nice selection prob to have though for KH.

Is Daley W definitely fit then? He obviously didnt play against the Giants, but there was no word of an injury, and I would have thought he would have been first choice in the Centres, even though I must admit I really like Walton lining up there with his power and pace over 20 yards.

Wont be an easy game as York are scrapping for their lives, but with a week's rest and full strength side (depending on whether GF makes it), I think we'll win comfortably after a tight first 30 or so. Batley 42 York 10

I agree that we usually follow a great performance with a poor one,last season after the great semi win at Leigh
i believe we followed up with the ridiculous home game against Tolouse (40-42 i think) then after the NR cup win we lost at the Rams, also after the Barrow win we lost at Sheffield,i hope history does not repeat itself!

[silverback]

good team line up but cant be strongest without mark toohey involved due to his great workload?is he still injured. not too fussed about toothill as he seems to have lost his biff for his size most games. i think were due a massive score here so 66-18 to the dogs.

[Nick07]

Got to say I'd forgotten about Toohey and Toothill as i was quite impressed with Bulldogs17's team.

Toohey has been really consistent this year, but difficult to change the team after the Giants peformance.

Agree about Toothill, but thought he had his best game by far against Hudds, and made more yards than he has in any other game so far this season. Plus at times he has a pretty good offload game. So its a tight call between him and Potter, who probably had his best game in a Batley shirt in the same game.

Real tough call for KH. However, isnt it nice to have these types of problems, unlike in previous years when we didnt have the size or quality of squad to make selections based on form.

Should be reasonably painless after 10 days off, Dogs by 30.

I love Wayne Rettie.

The League Express cover of him destroying Luke O'Donnell and Crabtree was amazing!

Wayne Reittie has been without doubt my most favourite signing we have made in years. The way he gets stuck in is a joy watch. I cannot believe all the doubters from Hunslet and York casting the comments that they made when we signed him. Before the season started you would have had Brown and Campbell (eventually) ss first choice wingers, now I would have Reittie as one of the first names on the teamsheet let alone the wings.

[coolie]

heavy win for the dogs...heavier the better

against one of the poorest teams in the league...i said ONE OF !!!! before the piggy master shakes his cage

[GForce]

Got To Agree, Reittie Is The Second Name I Look For On The Team Sheet, Preece Is The First.
