We can celebrate on another post. This post is a legitimate post, as Leigh were going to go the season unbeaten and the title of the post is "well done to Batley". I bet the only ones that saw that coming was the Batley players and coach. So absolutely well done to Batley

7th easy leigh.

Oh, how we laarfed!

Charlie?

I did point out in the Leythers forum the other day that if any coach can get a team up for one game the Kear is the man. So well done to him and the team, we'll see how they go in a couple of weeks.

Any team that doesn't take Batley serious this year will struggle. They have put together a pretty well balanced team.

Bit of a shock this one for me. I genuinely thought Leigh would go unbeaten in the normal league. Shows how much I know about rugby ! Batley away is always a toughie for any club-shades of our narrow win last year and a few draws up there recently. Brambani will kick you to death on that pitch and Walker is a great signing-both from Sheffield. kear is a good coach for getting underdog teams up for it. Leigh will be up there at the end of the season but more importantly so will we if we play like we have today.

They've got a big prop, brown was his name I think, best player on the field today. Walker and brambani both very good for them too.

They made fewer mistakes than us and deserved the win. No complaints from me re the result

Good to see a reasoned and mature response. Today for me goes to show that no-one can take anything for granted, Dewsbury just getting over the line at Swinton underlines the point. All of which is good for the game. We have our own big challenge on Friday, look forward to the outpouring of sympathy from Leythers should we be any chance slip up

Well that's a monkey off degsys boys backs.

Well done Batley, John Kear isn't daft.

Rich, good evening I'm fine thanks for the concern,I for one never said we would go the season unbeaten, I just didn't think today ws the day to get beaten.
However I have no problem with the result , the best team WON no doubt,Batley played very well,Leigh on the other hand stuttered throughout the game , but every dog has its day and it will soon be our turn to Bark.
One lose is nothing , you Faxers lost 8 or 9 last season,we will bounce back, I expect my old mate Tezzer Jagger is drinking dry sherry now , listening to Max Bygraves ,singing I'm a Pink Toothbrush

it's already been said Leigh are singing 3 wheels on my Wagon, but Cmon Mr Jagger ,it's your turn to crow,never underestimate a wounded Centurion.

Charlie knows.

Not how you start but how you finish Ian. You will be up there at the end of the season and a few more decent sides will come away with nothing at Batley. Sheffield away on a February Friday night could well be just as tough a task for Fax as you have had today at Batley!
