I have no complaints with the resigning of Chandler or any of the signings up to now. 

Batley have a lot of work to do in the close season and will have to sign a number of additional players with players moving on to new clubs and I would assume players like Martin, Brennan and Leary being released. This season the squad was not big enough or balanced this also will need to be addressed.

Smith will not be difficult to replace. He gives 100% every game but the game is full of this type of forward. Applegarth was playing the most of last season with an injury so would be surprised if another club signed him. 

Deleted post. Posted on the wrong thread.

Josh Johnson is in the Huddersfield squad this weekend. I am assuming Smith will return.

I have a gut feeling that Saturday's game could be one game too far.

The players have been brilliant in the last two games in achieving the major prize of avoiding relegation. Anything from now on is a bonus.

The good thing about the events of the last two weeks is that its united supporters, players and the board. The club need to build on the last two weeks and not make the mistakes that where made after the Grand Final. 

Yes indeed , onwards and upwards.

Just remember , if you find yourselves in a sticky situation just do as you have done this season and cheat , then you'll be fine.

Most Batley supporters know where you are coming from after the relegation of Keighley and the disappointment felt. Batley where barring the workings of the RFL relegated after the Dewsbury home game. The fact is Batley did not cheat.

Keighley where relegated due to mistakes made by the Keighley club at the beginning of and over the season. To blame the relegation of Keighley on an error by the RFL is clutching at straws. 

A great display from Batley today and well done to the club on finishing in the top eight.
