  1. Are we battle hardened after the cup games or softened up? Any news of injuries? It should be a good game and an important game to win for both clubs.
  2. I've just watched the highlights on You Tube and I must congratulate both sides on some superb tries.
  3. The highlights are now on You Tube.
  4. 1 Manning 2 D. Gibbons 3 O. Burton and Leak Quite a few others also caught the eye though. Well played.
  5. No, I wasn't going to say that BB. I was going to agree with and build on what you said, but it has all been mentioned or clarified at some point on the forum anyway.. My post was unneccesary but I couldn't see a way to delete it.
  6. Sorry, I have edited this. I was going to build on this comment but it has all been said earlier in the thread I believe.
  7. It would be maungy not to say well done Fev, they created more problems than we did over the eighty minutes. Lots of ifs and buts in such a close finish and hard to take after such a stirling effort but fatigue no doubt played a part in White's uncharacteristic mistake in those last few minutes when we could perhaps have closed the game down with better game management. Dissappointed but no complaints.
  8. Rochdale played well but our forwards got on top towards the end. 1 Leak 2 Flynn 3 Walshaw
  9. I don't think any of the supporters are happy with the situation Bromley but any club that bucks the trend may struggle to attract ambitious and talented young players. Players agents no doubt like and benefit from the system. It's very disappointing when players are signed or re signed and disappear from the club even before a game is played but I suppose that it would take a 'gentlemans' agreement between the Championship clubs to stop the practice. It would be nice to see some financial compensation mandated from above but I can't see it happening.
  10. That might be a tad unfair Bromley. If agents/players are looking for a SL get out clause in the deal then it may have been the only way for us to have competed for some players.
  11. It's very difficult these days with there being no reserve team to allow players to maintain fitness and skills and push for a place. We do have a very canny coach from what I can see who will make well informed decisions. Still, it's human nature to play the "picking a team" game, so I would like to suggest that as the weather improves and the ground dries out there would be a case for moving Buchanan to loose forward and Kear or Morton to centre. Will there be any unforced changes for the Hornets game?
  12. Good thinking DD. I had tried the Batley Bulldogs Player Rugby League Project but he wasn't on that list, but he is indeed on the Batley RLFC Heritage Roll of Honour, number 1132, 9 starts and 8 substitutes and first game 4th April 1970 Blackpool away, so before he was first team coach/manager at the Mount. Thanks for the input DD
  13. Fevnut, I have scanned a copy of a page from a Batley v New Hunslet programme dated 6th October 1973. For whatever reason and to my surprise the file is too large to upload to the site. I tried a pdf copy but the site doesn't accept pdf. Anyway, it's not a definitive list of Don's appearances but up to and including 1972/73 season Don Fox is down as playing 9 games, 1 try, 3 goals. If you would like to message me with your e mail address then I'm more than happy to send it across to you. He is down as D. Fox but it ties in with Don's coaching spell at Batley and with my memory of him playing.
  14. Probably not fevnut, but I'll try. He's not in the players list but my not too reliable memory seems to remember Don complaining that players didn't back him up when he was on the field so I suspect that it was during his coaching stint. No promises but I'll try and dig something up.
