I think on Sundays showing both teams were woeful, had very little go forward and no creativity. And that is no disrespect to Batley at all. They have lost some key players over the close season and personally I don’t think their team is as strong as it was in the last few years.
The ref did spoil it as well as he never gave an advantage to an attacking player who dominated the ruck but allowed the defenders to put in a second effort or a third man to come in after the tackle was complete. But he was the same for both sides and we slowed it down just as much as Batley. Did this affect us more than Batley? A few years it would have done when we had props who got to their feet quick and hookers like Penky and Gleeson who would then take advantage of a quick play the ball. I just don’t think we have that now so I don’t think we can say Batley benefited from the slow play more than us.
It made me laugh how KH commented that Batley play a simple gameplan. Yeah they do, but do we don’t anything different. Both teams seemed to have the same gameplan on Sunday!!
