Just don't get this. It was a really tight game. Handforth put in some quality kicks and set up Mannings try. Didn't see him make any mistakes.

I thought he had a very solid game

.............

casey had to play the whole game filling in at centre when tyrer went off,granted the lad did not do great but what do you expect playing out of position.

Bowman is a 13, in time will be a pretty decent one as well.

Are you awake during the match? They weren't in the Batley 20 in the second half as much as Batley were in ours in the first. Get some better specs lad.

And my point about last week - Handforth destroyed them but I can't find your post acknowledging this. You negative miserable git.="Nat (Rugby_Aholic)
Sick of excuses like that; we were in their 20 as many times as they were in ours in the 2nd half. They scored twice and got a penalty. We scored once. That is not the fault of the forwards.

What does last week have to do with today's performance?'"

Handforth has generally been a huge disappointment, as for Callum Casey i feel it is unfair on the lad to keep selecting him. It is apparent that he is not yet ready for the first team.

Rettie could easily have been sent off in the first half. He kicked an opponent after playing ball. Was missed by all the officials. Get wound up to play but control emotions , but he obviously couldnt take the pressure of returning to Mount Pleasant. Handforth not set world alight true and would have thought he would have kicked batley to death in the second half , like he did to us, but tries and did make Mannings try

One good game against featherstone doesn't excuse the fact he's been Sh*te for nearly every other game. He's so predictable, he gets the ball, he passes the ball. Don't think i've seen him take on the line once this year. Any chance we can send him back to Batley and swap him for Ben Black?!?!

Did you have your eyes shut last week too?

Jeez, what the fook are people watching sometimes?

Granted, he's no Ben Black but Ben Black's gone - move on. We lost today because our forwards failed to lay the platform in the second half. I don't remember Penky having the blinder that he normally does. Why is that? Because our pack was beaten and had the wrong attitude in the second half.

People please - stop being thick.

This.

I didn't go to the game last week so didn't see his performnace, I'm not questioning you when you say he had a good game last week, but the thing his he's become so predictable the opposition knows what hes gonna do, he never took on the defence today, he got the ball and either passed it or kicked it. You keep saying the pack was beaten and had the wrong attitude, so surely this would have been a perfect opportunity for Handforth to have tried something different and taken on the line but no he passed it to one of the forwards who was beaten and had the wrong attitude.
