Just saw the highlights - 2 tries chalked for forward passes. They both looked line balls from the footage so may have been even more comfortable. Any reason Gee was missing? Its hard to avoid the fact that we are / have been missing our starting front rowers all season, and Lannon yesterday.

I agree our attack still looks out of sorts but we won because we scored more points than Batley.

The two teams defended really well and though a few looked out on their feet at the end we kept up the intensity in defence that had been missing most of the season. The young lads played their part in that as Finn said.

You make your own luck and on Sunday the lads definitely earned theirs. I just hope Kav is ok , he looked to be really struggling for the last quarter.

Should all pitches be level from end to end ?. at what point does a pitch become unplayable ?.
did you play up hill for the full 80 minutes ? or were you allowed to change around at half time...

It's an obvious advantage to play on it regularly than once a season...

I wasn't mentioning it because of the unfairness, just that it's ridiculous having such a steep slope. The only other ground I can think of with a noticeable slope is fev, and that's not too bad. I've never known a ground where the toss of a coin deciding who plays which way has such a massive impact.

Fax may be looking for a new ground soon, especially if the new Labour government tells councils to sell off their non core assets to settle their debts. Maybe we could build a new stadium on the slopes of Beacon Hill, there's plenty of space there
