Batley v barrow predictions

[Dog forever 269]

Any thoughts on this. I'll go 

Dogs 26 barrow 8

[bulldogs17 73]

I think it'll be tight. We've looked good defensively but struggled to put points on the board at times during pre-season. Think we'll win 20-12. 

[Katdog 17]

I think it will be a good match. 

32 .... 14

[Keep The Faith 460]

28-12 

If the weather and field stay dry

[9' oller 1,042]

Boys should be rested after weekend off. Another home tie to get our new boys settled and comfortable.

The bulls game should of hurt as we put a lot into toppling predominantly full time. I'm expecting disco to lay down goals in the business area of season .

He has mentioned biff, making shirts a reward not a formality, discipline and open play so who knows we could fire straight to the top of division for a few weeks.

Give all visitors hell and start to use the field properly with boot to ball.

Dogs 24 barra 6

24-12 think an early arm wrestle but the dogs come out on top

Cant take anything or anyone for granted this year.

Discipline is key.

First games always difficult to predict. There has been a lot going on in the pre season, and that makes predictions even more difficult. Dogs 22 - 12

28 -----  8  

[Piggy's mate 2,543]

I have been impressed with our defensive efforts of late so I don't see Barrow getting more than 10...

Dogs 22 Barra 10

[Bull pups 17]

Should be good enough to rack up 5/6 tries and with our defense we should keep them down to a couple. I'm going 32 v 10. 

[RogerT 1,155]

I know this seems mean, any win will do even it's by one point, then again I wouldn't be surprised by a score of similar to the York match, so I will go with 36-0.

[doggystyle 238]

Optimism. 40-10 and top of the pile as 9'Oller suggested.

[Blind side johnny 5,122]

On form your lot should win by 16.

And if we aren't on form? 

[distantdog 1,652]

Like Roger, l would be happy with a win. A one point margin would be enough for me.

Many pundits have suggested that they will finish higher than us, and they have spent on some overseas talent so l assume will be no pushovers.

This might change your predictions

Nope.  Still going for my original prediction. I don't think we should fear any team this season. We have seen what we are capable of when we played bradford in the cup final. C'mon you dogs.

Dogs v bulls ...Fantastic game....... best I have seen in a long time

[9' oller 1,042]

Come on bob an average unsettled young prop is hardly going to run us ragged with a punishing kicking game or take control of middle plays like a stand off.

I'm sure our pack will give him a few teeth clatterers and white star head shakes

[spanishknight 1,900]

Dogs by 16.

[phildog 635]

On the whole I think I'd have preferred an approach for Johnson, tried, tested and pretty decent and have had him instead of the unknown we've brought in to get fit/borrowed/loaned. However, 1 man won't make a team, although we need Louis firing all all cylinders, which as of yet he hasn't this time. other than Hunslet, we've struggled to get the scoreboard ticking over against teams of our league. it'll be close, 26-16, and we need to decise who is fullback and whose is practicing goal kicking. We need to be taking advantage of anything kickable, and when we're attacking and getting tied up, as I always say, come away wi summat!!
