Not many poor ones and plenty of outstanding ones! For me he ranks very high up on the list of scrum halves we have had wearing the Batley shirt in my lifetime. Not irreplaceable, but the club will have to work hard to find someone who can do as good a job.

phildog Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 Come on Graham what's the rumour going round The Rams? My 2 would be Ryder and Beckett....
DOGFATHER Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 I see ex Ram Tom Garrett has been released by mutual consent from HKR today. I wonder what has gone off there?

The former Dewsbury Rams prop has been struggling with concussion symptoms since suffering a head injury against Warrington Wolves on April 1. He hasn't been able to train due to several concussion complications so until it gets sorted he won't be able to play

Another Johnny Walker he won’t play again I bet if he can’t get over the concussion protocol… he seemed a decent prop for hull kr http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
DOGFATHER Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 Such a pity for the lad, he always impressed me, every time I saw him play.

Good player and good bloke.

phildog Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 We can now discount the Tom Holmes rumour, shame that, only for the money then. Thackeray it is then (as further rumour has it)!!

RogerT Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I didn't like how some Batley species were slagging Gilmore off and rude comments about £60k, but in the end he silenced them.

RL can be a short career and every player deserves to do the best for himself and his family. I can never understand fans who expect some sort of blind loyalty from any player.

phildog Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Agree there Roger. I did notice him glance up in their direction following the 1 kick he did miss. It was in very poor taste as was the 'Dewsbury's going down' etc chants(cleaned-up version to allow admin to pass it!). I didn't think we had supporters like that

toffeedog Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Are poor recent form is down to some players not putting the same effort in as they did at start of the season. Hooley been woefull and wasteful as late not running ball back with any real effort and his position for the dewsbury bomb which they took om the full was terrible Gilmore normally controls the game but since sheffield game not been his usual self . I get were without our recognised hookers but no one seemed to be talking after we concede just watching them .

We got a couple of players that really shouldn’t have played again this year but credit to them.
