  1. Fev will be out for revenge this time round and will be on a high after last week beating wakey, it looks like it's going to be tough conditions again this week so could be another low scoring affair, let's hope last week's tussle took something out of fev, and the boys can turn them over again and get the 2pts
  2. Think mokko will have to come up with some new plays for this one! seeing as linners probably knows all of ours inside and out! An interesting game really! especially if it's tough conditions our boys are the masters of grind! I'd love us to get a result, it will be tough fingers crossed but in reality Championship v SL rarely springs any surprises these days!
  3. How ironic! Linners back at the mount so soon, and possibly an upset on the cards, only thing is linners won't need any spies he knows just about everything about batley already, hopefully there will be a good following from Cas fans to put some cash in the pot!
  4. I listened on radio Leeds sounded to me that batley had more than their fair share of possession on the Sheffield line and all I heard continually was the old story of it's so and so trying to barge over! and Sheffield defending everything batley threw at them, and when Sheffield had the ball down our end they where continually throwing the ball from side to side and breaking batley down I understand they had a couple lucky tries but sounds to me from what I heard our only option yet again near there line was hopeless one man rugby with no other attacking options which always seems to be an issue for us!
  5. Personally as a batley fan I didn't think you looked out of place playing against a championship side and I thought you gave it a good go especially the first 20 mins, Batley weren't at their best but in those conditions on a heavy pitch there's no one better than batley at grinding out a result! Good luck for the coming season!
  6. When I go to rhino's game there's usually about half a dozen junior games on at half time! Maybe it's something batley could promote to local teams that could get more folk in! also I think they should drop the charge for kids attending games I know we need every penny but I think that one is definitely putting people off!
  7. Not a great game today nothing outstanding but job done I thought Rochdale gave it a good go to be honest especially the first 20 but once we scored I thought we always looked in control another few changes today mokko must be still trying to work out what his best starting 18 will be! On a negative a very poor crowd today at a guess barely 400! Is the new pricing for pensioners and kids putting people off I wonder!
  8. Fev v wakey tie of the round about time wakey got a bit of a challenge!
  9. Widnes away for the boys! Not an easy one especially with widnes doing over bradford!
  10. Drawn on radio Leeds yesterday game announced on Sheffield forum
  11. It's Sheffield in the next round for the boys a tough draw never an easy place to go! York or Oldham away in semi if we beat Sheffield!
  12. Typical games over at half time performance!! a few changes took our foot of the pedal and let in a couple of soft TRYS, to be fair I thought worky might have given us a better game but we where too strong and fast for them 1st half and built up a healthy lead, They had a 15 minute spell in the 2nd half and got some points but once we woke up we never looked in danger!! it's understandable that the coach is going to make changes at half time probably still trying to decide on what's what and who's where! Or maybe not risking folk if they have had a knock, also a heavy pitch today so saps the energy, overall a great 1st half, a scratchy 2nd but hay ho! into the next round against Rochdale!
  13. No complacency we need to go there with the same intensity as this week and put the game to bed early hopefully our new aussie export will get a run out so we can see what he's made of! And Get well wrapped up if your going over apart from the north and south pole must be the coldest place on earth
  14. I don't agree with the IMG recommendations it's more or less the same ideas as when super league was formed but re-jigged, points for this points for that,it won't work look at wakey, ( until now) and Cas, for instance never met the criteria for the ground in 30 yrs but still allowed in SL Cas is an absolute dump! How these rules have been accepted il never know, for instance London broncos must have had a dozen grounds all over London with no real increase in crowds out of 8mil people yet get points for the catchment area yet fev a small town get bigger crowds and nothing! London could finish mid table and yet still be relegated because they don't meet the points criteria for the ground wherever that is this year,it's all wrong! My point is this the super league dream is over for the time being for most championship clubs but I believe not dead! believe me if it comes to relegating a mid table team there's going to be fireworks and more changes I'm sure of that!! In the meantime the championship is still a good place to be to watch some great rugby league!!
  15. Once again the boys show outstanding resilience the defensive effort today was fantastic, an all round brilliant team performance! I'm picking on defensive effort today! Walshaw (must have done 60 tackles) even the radio Leeds mentioned it, Manning (the usual animal as ever) Moore (ran hard all day)
  16. Just heard josh rourke is leaving and going to a super league club!
  17. Moan moan moan! That's all it is on here at the moment! None of us know what the situation is at Oldham or Doncaster or any other team at the moment with there backing or sponsorship so leave them to there own devices , I'm sure kev and the board are doing what they think is best for the club and I'm also sure come the beginning of the season we will have a team ready to go how ever it looks! Kev never spends money he hasn't got and never announces what's happening until he's sure everything is in place! It's been the same for the last 25yrs! And seeing as tho central funding has been reduced by £45k I guess it's going to be a tough year all round for everyone involved with the club! So give it a rest until we do know what's happening!!
  18. Lucas walshaw will be with batley next year apparently bradford where interested but he's staying!!
  19. With Lingard being in charge at Cas now, do you think it would be a good idea to take up the possibility of a duel reg/loan deal with Cas? or would you prefer us to continue without one in place? bearing in mind the ill feeling and complications it brings?
  20. Just out of curiosity as I might have missed it, has there been any mention of who's going to be assisting mokko in his new role yet?
  21. Agree with what you say about drop goals said the same thing myself why in a tight game wait to the very last minutes to go for the drop, I suppose this is where woods comes into the scenario but unfortunately he probably expects a forward to do it as that's who he spends most of his time hiding behind, wouldn't miss the guy he went tmoro!
