On "paper" Keighley  have got a good run in http://www.bbc.co.uk...onship/fixtures. Three of there remaining games are against teams in the bottom 4 whilst Whitehaven play two of the bottom 4 plus ourselves at home. 

The squad needs strengthening this week with the signing of a centre,halfback and a Prop (do not know the situation with Keegan Hirst). The squad does not have the players to cover any injuries to these three positions .The club also need to contact Huddersfield to sort something out for at least the next month.  

Batley can stop up but not without extra bodies. Cannot go into anymore games with so many players playing out of position. 

I agree, I thought Batley deserved to win simply because Fax switched off when they thought the game was won and you cant do that against anyone in this division. It made for good value for money even if the game was played at a snails pace but on a day like today it might be a bit much to expect the big lads for both teams to clear the ruck quickly.

Halifax did not switch off they 'ran out of steam'. In the last 10 minutes Halifax where continually trying to slow the play down and where making errors due to fatigue. Over the 80 minutes I did not think there was much between the two sides and a draw was a fair result.

A difficult game to predict. Hoping for a Batley win but my prediction is Batley 10 - Halifax 18. 

A comfortable win yesterday. I agree with previous posts that I am still looking down the table rather than up the table. Batley are in a better position than a month ago but the team need to carry on improving to finish in the top 9.

Cannot fault Chandler's display in the centre position yesterday but with Faal not match fit and with no other recognised Centre.  Batley do need a Championship quality centre on loan for month whist Faal is loaned out to a Championship one club to get some match fitness.

I heard that both him and Moore have signed on there for next season. Announced at one of their press announcements today.

Moore and Flanagan along with Hirst where signed on two years contract so are contracted to be at Featherstone next season. I would be happy with Blake,Nicholson and Leak resigning for next season in the hooking position.
