Even with players missing, im not as confident as some on here that much will change. I just cant see it
The only difference i see when they are back is maybe the scoreline is switched the other way round in our favour - & we will win by 10pts
With this years best 17 available (which i also dont think we will see once this season) i see victories by 4-10pts, with not a lot of points in the game & a lot of scraping by wins
What we look to be serving up, I dont think we have a team this year that is capable of recording a comfortable win
At the same time i also see a lot of potentially narrow defeats too
We wont blow teams away like years gone by, but we wont get blown away either
Everyone best get prepared for it - its going to be a very up & down year

The game will be on The Sportsman's YouTube channel. I'm amazed that the BBC haven't picked this one up.
Wouldnt be suprised if both clubs requested not to be on the BBC due to the attendence & shared gate probably being effected

Unless Hunslet somehow pull off a miracle next week - We are now out of the 1895 cup & York will more than likely get the best runners up spot

On Batley website it was £20 adults £15 concessions ie old codgers like me.
Website is not updated - there are no concessions - when you actually go to buy a ticket online the price is £20 for all adults

Brad Day should hang his head in shame - i think he cost us the game tonight
London were plodding in that set he got binned, made 20m & tip tackles the player on the 5th tackle
London score 18pts whist hes off & win the game
Left the comeback too late when London were gassed in that last 20 but it would have papered over the cracks in reality
Manage to catch Kyle Amors summary of us at the end of the game - poor signings mixed in with turmoil on & off the pitch - he is bang on
Do not see us getting amongst the elite in my lifetime & im only in my 30’s - i see seasons of struggle ahead now IMG are in, support will tail off big style
Regarding 2024 Im also another supporter who is not investing in a season ticket next year & will pick their games - Wakefield H at the minute is the only game im semi interested in going to

Widnes gave that up in the last 20 mins but were utterly dominated in the second half - I dont think they got into our 20 at all in that second period, never mind look like posting any points, another season goes by where Widnes are put to the sword
Thought Leilua had a good game - he started to come good as the playoffs were about to begin last season & history is repeating itself, some strong running throughout from all & we scored a couple of good tries
Nice week off now to shake off the niggles & watch the others knock 10 bells out of each other

Thought we would win this one although my mystic Meg prediction was out.I predicted a win by 14 points.One thing i didn't understand was at half time the bookies had us odds on to win at 8/11 Toulouse could be backed at 11/10.
Thats because toulouse really only had a 10 min period at the end of the first half where they were on par with us for me - aside from that I thought we outplayed them and its a richly deserved victory
To nil them in the second half and go over there and win, the only team to go over there & win all season is a big statement considering the play offs are round the corner, massive psychological boost for us

Reynolds was dire the last time he was with us on loan
Also did nothing last season but wind up the supporter & get sin binned in the home game

James Ford talking after the game suggested Johnno might be available for Newcastle but definitely for Toulouse which suggests he wants to put a marker down in that game even though it's 100% a dead rubber in every aspect bar the possibility that we might meet them again in the playoffs.
Ford might be fit, but surely is not risked on Newcastles pitch?
-
Dire game
Both teams too many errors & too many brainfarts - drop outs out on the full from us, knocking on scrums on the first tackle
6 pts on the floor due to Gales brainfart a few mins into second half - think the floodgates might have opened if he passes on the inside there instead of being greedy
Not one that will love long in the memory - but we won it, perhaps because we were a forward interchange up when their lad went off after 15 mins & never came back? Took their toll on them in the heat i think
The whippy ice cream from the ice cream van was quite tasty so thats a positive to take away

We thrashed them and I think Finny broke his consecutive goals record there (faulty memories are also possible).
That was at Keighley A that season

We got our first three tries from Keighley mistakes
The third try they kicked off we got them on the outside, broke through and scored, how is that a try from a Keighley mistake?

Early bird offer only on for 3 weeks
Do club need to get some cash into club quickly? Is there a cash flow problem?

40 point + mauling for the cougars

Well if he doesnt play at 9 tonight then he wont play 9 at all this season
Fordy has been here long enough to assess if Lacans is good enough to have a go at 9 and unsurps two fit hookers and gets the starting role
For me there is absolutely no way the team be radically messed about with with business end of the season approaching so pie in the sky suggestions like above regarding the team are just that - pie in the sky

Not the first time POR backtracks on his original comments when challenged about them…….

Last one to leave please turn off the lights…..

Off & on the pitch its been terrible since Fordy came back to the club in that made up role for him
Today shows that until the halfbacks are sorted we will do nothing when it matters - cannot believe we are still rotating them every week - today was the game that cried out for a chisholm moment of magic yet we persist with Aekins in the halves
Leilua fell into the trap of getting wound up & will get banned now
How Longstaff got in the team in front of Johnny D is anyones guess
Have to question Longs team descisions today - We looked a tiny team today in terms of size too
Very bad day at the office - potential season chamger for me

Thank you thank you thank you for letting us know what's could be happening at FEV and please please please don't hesitate to tell us when you HEAR anything else
Unsure why you are having a go at that forum member - its not like you havent posted rumour and hearsay in various threads on this board? Multiple examples of it in the championship thread

We always win at the Shay - 1 league defeat in 13 years or something like that?
They could have their best 17 available & we would find a way - seem to up our game there - Sunday will be no different
-
Liam Watts is a big rumour next year - thats another 30 years + prop more than likely replacing an older 30 years + prop
I suggest we get used to having a dads army pack now for a number of seasons

Dont agree they were “impressive against halifax” - 40-14 was a very flattering scoreline - they had a really poor 1st half & in the second half they got the 50/50 descisions & some of their tries came off very wicked bounces of the balls on the 3G pitch falling their way which 9 times out of 10 dont happen, but they say these bits of luck fall your way when you are at the top
Most things go through Gilmore, with Owens in close support, if we stop these two then we have a good chance, which will increase if we get Reynolds again.
Regarding injuries, i dont remember Springer coming out for the second half?
