LINNERS Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Judging by their performance tonight, you'd think we have a decent chance of a positive result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovenden Grunt Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Judging by Monday's performance it will be a nailed on Batley win if repeated. It won't be though. That Fax display was up there with the worst i've ever witnessed, unexplainable! I expect a Fax victory by 16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got some good fast attacking outside backs but not they not the best defenders so YOU need your pack to bully them and put them on the back foot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think fax were too bad, they just couldn't live with the widnes line speed, and a superior kicking game. In first 20 mins fax were in top. Sticking your neck out a bit OG saying fax by 16. When was last time fax achieved that against us. We might not have clicked as a team yet but I really cant see 16 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 They were more than 16 better than us last season but we were shattered when we played 'em. For our pack to bully theirs will be a tough ask, they're very solid and tough. We have to match them at least and stop them running their backs. If that happens we're in trouble. Hopefully there are no new jnjuries, Woods and Hodson are probably still missing but hopefully Hirst will have recovered. We can't go into this match light on the bench, I felt for Burton last week being brought in then basically being told he wasn't good enough to take part.

No offence to Burton but if we’d of taken leak off we’d of lost our go forward around the ruck in a game we had to win… http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

The game was too tight to take Leak off Phildog. It was the right decision on the day. If Leak had flagged or been injured then Burton would have come on. It was good to see him on the bench though and I hope that he gets another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct Leak’s runs from dummy half to set up 2 tries helped us find the gaps and vision for the tries http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Keep The Faith Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Same 21 man squad with one change as Hodson is named over Johnson No castleford Dual reg named for Halifax I’m surprised they haven’t got a half back from them http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
