Id guess because there are points available for the last 3 years league positions which on the provisional gradings would have included a play off semi final, and playoff final.

A couple of ultra negative posters have spoiled this forum for many people, I've been on here for 24 years long before it was a totalrl forum it was on the rugbyleague.org platform run by Rams fan Si Kerr, it was great in the early days, Stuart Smiler, foxy cleopatra, the equaliser from Dewsbury, the Terminator and deputy dog, made for great banter, but that was before social media was a thing. I rarely post anymore as I get mad at myself for biting in reply to the negatively from the usual suspects. We've lost a few really good posters on here in the last year, piggys mate and lone drinker to name 2 who I'm sure left for similar reasons I have for losing interest. Most people use Facebook now to discuss the games.

My old man Allen Terry signed for Batley in 1968, still known as Abe to this day as a fellow prop. RIP

Pure speculation, but at his Q&A evening Tommo told us he thought his son was good enough to make it over here, it would be great to have the next generation setting the mount alight.

Shame to see Martyn is out for possibly the whole of 2024 with an ACL injury, Similar toTom Gilmore, consistent and pretty injury free for 2 seasons with us then a serious injury as soon as he gets to Widnes. Hope he recovers well,was great for us.

What have Kevin and the board done over the years that makes you think we won't assemble a competitive squad before the season starts? Pound for Pound we've probably been the most competitive club in the division over a 13 year period, we regularly finish above teams with a squad costing double that of ours, have some faith. I bet you open all your Christmas presents on Christmas eve.

If your concerned Will Maher has gone elsewhere then I'm concerned about you. He couldn't break a paperbag, not fit to tie the laces of any of our aging props.

Have they caught him yet? I could give him 20m head start and still catch him before the halfway line.

Great signing, very highly rated by the haven fans and from the highlights reel he runs and passes in a very similar style to Hooley.

Hooley going from Leeds to Cas yes

Young player of the year. Aiden Mcgowan Supporters player of year Aiden McGowan Coaches player of year Kieran Buchannan Players Player Josh Hodson Top try scorer Dale Morton Ever present Ben White and Buchanan Chairman's Award Sue Winner Hodson and Hooley to Cas. That's about it.

As a Batley fan sitting pretty in second place and an uncanny knack of spoiling Fevs party when it counts I am desperate to see my team at Wembley, even with 3k in a 90k stadium it would mean everything to me. There's a fighting chance we could make superleague this season, but a tinpot cup final at Wembley would mean just as much to me.

If you can be this negative after the season we're having imagine how hard it's going to be for you next season when we're in Superleage where there's a good chance we will lose every game.

Moxon is taking over. Its on the website, James Roby would make a nice player/assistant coach!!!!

Gutted but to be expected given the way he goes about coaching, ultimate professional. If we get the win at Wembley Kev better get saving for a statue
