[Featherstone V Leigh.Thurs 7.30pm]

Hard work, But an excellent win. Well done lads and DP and his team. I'm very happy.

the REF was superb, though Leigh were awful at times, and FEV played some nice stuff.

[Bottom falling out of Leighs push]

Even if Leigh do reach the National Rail final.I do not see how Leigh can have any chance of getting a Super League franchise.The Rugby League should give the licence to the team that ticks the boxes and have also been consistantly successful over the three seasons i.e finishing in the top six in every season should be an absolute minimum of obtaining a Super League franchise.

The Leigh situation appears simillar to Doncaster and Oldham(2 clubs who have recently been in administration).Clubs who rent there ground and spent alot more money on wages then the amount of money they are bringing in.

BLESS ................. :lol: :lol:

STUFF TICKING BOXES PAL, PROMOTION/RELEGATION IS WHAT PROPER SPORT IS ABOUT

But i am looking forward to a day out in Blackpool ! (hopefully)

Three, Leigh seem reliant on their duel-reg players rather them being the luxuary tthey are at Batley (feeder club for Warrington and Wigan?)

NO WE ARE NOT.

Lee Mitchell (not played for us for about 2 months) is a great player.

Jake Emmitt is a TOP front rower in this division, played around 50% of our games.

Matty Blythe is the nearest to being a regular, is a good attacking option, but his defence is poor at times.

Tyrone Mccarthy has only played for us twice in the past 2 months, and is a good player, but nowt special.

If I was Millward, would pick Mitchell & Emmitt every week if I could, but the other 2, not so sure.

Leigh are not playing great at the moment, we can't all be as brilliant as Fev.

A big well done to batley today Leigh are looking pretty ordinary of late without the pooper scooper league players they borrow.

unfortunately i can't see them bringing many followers to ours, didn't even take many to Batley today and they should have expected to win that one being the team second in the table with only 2 league defeats

aye, NO Donlan, Ridyard, R. Paul, Bibey, Taylor, + the dual reg players.

THURSDAY IS WHAT MATTERS, the league is 2nd choice, for now.

Leigh's weaker team played poor today, but i'm not really bothered.

We have won games with none or just 1 dual reg player playing for us, were you aware of that ?

[Come on batley]

you don't need to worry about Leigh, hardly the 'form' team of the division.

[Referee]

Wow I've never witnessed so many gloaters on this forum from opposing fans. They must have been overwhelmed with envy. Get over it we lost through bad discipline and a very ropey defence,

IT'S the sign of having an EXCELLENT side matey, never thought a few years ago I'd be HAPPY when Barrow lost.

[Leigh v Featherstone]

ONE OF OUR best performances at the LSV. I guess we were fired up after losing to York, and after making a good start, never looked back. Fev were back in at 12-6, spent more time in our half than earlier on, but the crucial score in the 38th minute, made it 18-6, rather than just 6 point gap. It was just 'one of those days' for you I guess, with ball in hand. You made nearly as many handling errors than us at York last week. Don't know why you chose to 'constantly' slow the game down by 'lying on' in the tackle, we are hardly Saints.

Don't be too disheartened over this result, it will be probably one of our best displays of the season.
