The scrim reaper

I would guess if he's been told no! It would be down to kev! Not every club is going to say no to batley! and what about Hooley he still isn't making the Leeds squad why isn't he back, I know we do have to make every penny count but surely some funds could be made available!

We converted 1 try speaking of which I've said before Meadows kicking is not very consistent, converts 1 from wide out but misses a sitter in front of the sticks!

Poor today from the boys from the start, we just never seemed to get any real momentum going it seemed all stop start from us with too many missed tackles allowing them too many off loads, intercepted try could have been avoided we had 2 on 1 if it had we gone thru hands, Meadows hard to read at times must be frustrating playing along side him is he going to give or go? Should we have gone for the 2 points with 10 mins to go? when that was the only time we had a little momentum going, and not really a difficult kick, 30 out in front of the sticks! (All ifs & buts) I know, we where down on numbers today but I still thought we should have beaten them! A loss at some time was inevitable but to lose to a poor team in such a way is disappointing!

Bringing players in willy nilly isn't always the best thing in my book if there not training regular then how are the going to learn the game plan and set plays, to me it just upsets the team dynamic! Our boys know each other inside and and out and they all Know their names job and what's expected of them I'd rather have a well drilled tight knit unit like our boys, than a bunch of players dropping in for the odd game! I don't expect it to be easy today, the weather will be hot and muggy so fitness will be a big part of today's game, I expect our game plan will be as it always is, forwards will do what they always do and grind the opposition down leaving our backs to set up and make the plays hopefully leading to another win for us! Good luck as ever boys

I think 22-23 july was mentioned!

It's york away for the boys!

Funny team swinton! one minute getting hammered! next minute beating teams that you wouldn't expect them to! Hope it's not the latter for us today! Good luck today boys!!

Any home draw will do for me

Anyone seen any highlights anywhere?

I don't think that this will be as easy as most would think, I heard that on Sunday we only just had enough fully fit men we've had a few tough games over the last few weeks so our boys might be feeling it a bit as Sundays game showed, walshaw played for 60 mins on a damaged knee Sunday, now out for 8 weeks minimum with MCL injury so looks like we have to shuffle a few people around! Il be happy with a win wether by 40 or 4,good luck boys

Sounds like from listening on the radio(Italy) that we weren't at our best today and york made it hard for us, not much great attack from either side looks like our boys just managed to come out on top on the defensive effort! Not very good listening but a wins a win they say however you get it! Well done boys

Another thing I enjoyed yesterday was the Bradford fans down the the bottom end next to our lot singing along with us, and cheering batley on !! made for a great atmosphere, we may not have had the most fans there but we definitely sang the loudest! Well done to everyone there

Tough tough call this one after such a massive effort from all the boys! McGowan. just so comfortable at the back makes ye wonder if we really need Hooley White. lead us round all day Walshaw. Another massive shift from the big guy! You could really pick 1.2.3 in any order for all of the 17. Yet another game that shows how these boys work so hard for each other, and a such fantastic team spirit!

Just click where it says 2 replies!

S Slow start by our boys today thought a couple of the fax tries were soft by our standards, it was always essential with fax's start that we got points on the board by half time, ten minutes into the second half I Knew it was going to turn into a battle, and nobody battles harder than our boys, apart from a few half breaks fax never really bothered us second half and our scramble defence was fantastic, you could see the frustration in the fax players because they just couldn't break us down, another all round great team performance by our boys! Would have been a perfect finish if lucas had gone the full length!! I guess he's just not used to seeing all that field in front of him

Any tips on where to park today besides the stadium? Don't mind a short walk!

Been told woods and Flynn both twisted ankle mcgowan knock to the head, but as far as I've been told nothing too serious!

Listened on the radio sounded as if we just couldn't manage the pace of the game! I know they say that these games are a hiding to nothing, so nothing to lose, but given the the fact that KR had a few out, and our recent form, I thought our boys might have done a bit better, it sounded as tho we were lacking ideas when ever we got near there line, it also sounded as tho there was a decent crowd there and we should make a few bob out of the game! But I reckon thats really all these games are all about these days! Unfortunately.

Was told kear had trouble with his ribs and was doubtful!

Brown, kear, Morton, Hooley, out tmoro! Johnson, Campbell, Meadows in!

Going to be a tough one for our boys KR are the in form team at the moment so will be hard for us which ever team they put out, let's hope our boys put in a tough performance and hold our own against them main thing is not to come away with any injuries! Oh and of course a win! As someone told me we've done it before against them but that what's about 1965 ish he said! a bit before I was breathing, Good look boys il be listening in!

Another tough game for our boys I don't know where they get the energy from, I always said toulouse were there for the taking! thought the first half for 35 mins we we were excellent two soft tries in the last 5 mins flattered toulouse I thought Hooley should have done better on the second try the guy just ran straight over him, second half we went toe to toe with them, although at times we were a bit scrappy,especially near the toulouse line, I thought we needed to be a bit more patient it was like we were trying to score on every move which lead to a few mistakes, non the less another great win for the mighty bulldogs! WELL DONE BOYS!

Walshaw. Outstanding defence again White. Lead us round the pitch McGowan.always lively and made some good yards out of defence.

I toulouse are definitely there for the taking not a great side this year, I just hope Monday didn't take to much out of the boys not sure if linners will make any changes unless there are any injuries, I reckon he will save the changes for next week!
