Right, it's time to forget about the result against Sheffield (it always ends the same with that cursed team) and start thinking about our biggest game for the rest of the season which comes up next V the mighty Featherstone Rovers.

Will we pick our heads up and take the 3 points on offer against a team we have already won one (quite convincingly) and lost one (very closely) against this season?

[Piggy's mate]

Fev on form at the moment and a big ask just to get a bonus point! Fingers crossed tho eh

[Robin Evans]

play like you did in the first half and it's a possibility.
play like you played in the 2nd afe and you'll get a proper tonkin.

[greavesy]

A bonus point is our only hope sorry honest assesment.Our second half collapses are becoming too frequent.

[thundergaz]

I think you will have a good chance of coming away with something with blackpool just round the corner.But on the other hand were resting players this weekend against hunslet so the guys who are rested will want to come back in the team and claim their spot back for blackpool.

i should think it will be a cracking game,a decent warm up for bloomfield road alright. i think we will do ok but reckon fev will put plenty a points on the board last 15 thats for sure. close game up to half time but fev by at least 24 come full time.looking forward to a pie n a pint thou.

[ryanjbailey]

Should be a close game, hopefully Rovers will win but who knows, you've beaten us already this year. So you could do it again

[Keep The Faith]

Id love to see us go there and win, but cant see it happening.

Will be happy with a bonus point and an 80 minute performance to make up for the second half on Thursday.

Fev a bit hot at the minute and will be playing for places at Blackpool. Fev to win this one

[vile rodders]

46 14 to Fev they are on fire at the moment and i think Sheffield game will have affected us.

Thats the reason i think you guys might have a chance of getting something against us with blackpool just round the corner if the 2 games after the CC are anything to go by.With us maybe having an eye on blackpool {By the way it would be tough enough for us anyway if blackpool was'nt even in the equation}

Will this make a difference to your predictions

[SamG]

This match would have been a worry without the cup final the week after. Now it's a big worry. If our attitude is right you may struggle, but we've shown this season, particularly the Sheffield match, that when not focused a good team can do us over. I think we'll do it in a tight match, but I'm expecting an excellent match that both sets of fans will walk away from entertained.

[Phil Stone]

Looking forward to the game, not sure Fev will have it all our own way but ground conditions are much better than when we played in the Northern Rail so we should see a different game. I'd be happy with a 1 point win and the Bulldogs picking up a bonus point.
I just hope that Batley fans turn out in numbers and help create a good atmosphere for what should be a cracking game.

[Matt J]

How did you lose that? Kear will need to have words with Laughton after that.
