9' oller Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Now we know that spondulas and sugar daddies don't always buy success. Leigh gave it a good go but we've now to endure their cries of the "8's break hearts and families. Also their arrogance back in our league for another 12 months. A plus is keeping Catalans in super league, avoiding more French trips and beaumonts Leigh bring a few on game days. Sheffield got a well predicted thumping and I for one don't envy them or their fans. Enjoy the rest Batley and good luck with agents/ players egos although the right players egos may be worth tolerating over bargain buy squad fillers 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

doggystyle Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Ooohhhhh errrrrr. Well done Sheffield on making it to Toulouse today, must have cost a fair few bob that couldn't be spared. More then delighted with the result. Also delighted with the MPG outcome, with Leigh being spawn of bombastic fans, players, officials/coaching team and bloody stewards! Some may suggest I'm envious of afore mentioned clubs, but they couldn't be further from the truth. I've come across some right nasty pieces of work on and off the pitch for Leigh and Sheffield and will gladly sink a few pots to celebrate their defeats today! Batley are firm favourites in away games soft spots for the opposition, for decent rugby fans. These two clubs will be the bottom for most. Can't think why...

phildog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I must be the odd man out: I don't decry Leigh's success in 2016, as I don't decry HKR theirs in 2017. There was loads of jealousy around at Leigh making it yet I can't see why (great stuff, we tagged 'em first up!!). They were head and shoulders above any other team, and why moan at them having all that lovely money thrown at them, every other club in the division would have loved to have half of the amount. From the RFL side (and championship clubs' side) they didn't want Catalans to go down as it would have classed as a failure in RFL planning and yet another financial burden on clubs, but that's not the point. We are currently labouring under a system drawn up primarily between the RFL and Super League which was put in place, a bit like the Brexit vote, because the instigators thought they couldn't fail in their objectives. In the RFL case, the objective was to run a system whereby it was unimaginable that an upstart Championship side would dare to beat some of the SL's finest and actually win a place at the top table. That it has happened twice in the first 2 seasons has really upset the apple cart, and you can bet that by 2019 another super duper system will be introduced to put an end to the temerity of the Championship in thinking that 'yes, there is something to play for'. Whether it be a re-introduction of franchising, under a new guise to try and hide the fact, or whatever, it will be tilted towards the top 12, 13 or 14 financially sound clubs, which will, as it always did, prop up the same dead ducks season after season without fear of repercussion.

Are you able to back this up with any facts? If not I suggest you desist from unfounded statements regarding the Sheffield players and supporters. Bitter and twisted would be my diagnosis.

doggystyle Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Dr Hawk-eye is all butt hurt and willingly throws their opinion about. What facts do you require about my opinion of some players and followers of your beloved club and Leigh? Do I need a transcript and time/date of every incident I deem to be worse than from folk from other clubs? Go away and drown in happiness that you finished one spot above us and that Tubby didn't have a coronary after all that bleeting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 To be honest, I am a little jealous of Sheffield. They've significantly outperformed us over the last decade, despite seemingly having none of the off-field advantages that we have over them as a club.

Fishmonger Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So Sheffield will be playing at the Olympic Park next season - despite the tales of woe that a number of Batley supporters were spouting at the semi-final.

I think that the resilience that the Eagles have shown in the face of adversity is remarkable. Good luck with your new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
