Aye. Percy's Elland 1872 Porter 6.5% Mmm!

Lots of positives again . AdamT getting his running legs back and the confidence from his superb back pass slip to johonno was the best bit of skill of the day. Excellent performance by Woody my mom. Chester butler....well if SL agents haven't spotted him yet they need to get another job. That was a very good performance in the heat . I thought we looked lightweight in the prop department so the performance for me far outweighed my expectations . Only probably Elliot Morris who had a bit of an off day but he came back on and tried hard again for the team late on. That was a solid Batley team but we are defo coming together. London away looked bleak a couple of months ago but I think they can worry London big time now.

Some good performances today and some quality tries.
Just need to cut out the unforced errors, too many attacking sets where we just dropped the ball.
I don’t worry about the opposition so much as ourselves and if it will cost us against the better sides that are coming up.

We play like we can with the squad we have and we are grabbing second I tell thee.

Just a touch of RFF speak in there G, your spending far too much time on Total Fev. but boy do I hope your right.

We seem to be coming good for the end of the season again. No DR or loan players today, and still put Batley to the sword. When we play our other top 4 contenders, I think having (some of) them in the team will be vital though.

I've commented about singing/chanting before, and thought that it can only have helped the boys on the pitch today, with the singing at the end of the game pretty awesome. I'm sure the players would be talking about it after the game. Just let's cut out the "come in a taxi" and "shall we sing a song for you" digs at the opposition? Batley didn't bring many today, but those that did attend are I'm sure stalwart and passionate supporters of their club.

Excellent performance by the lads today, but sad to see the demise of Batley both on and off the pitch. They never stopped trying which shows how bereft they are re quality because of the score line, but alarming to see virtually no away fans today, they used to bring a couple of hundred who made lots of noise, however today ……………………….. nothing.

I think Batley is a classic eg of just how important a coach can be. Kear did an excellent job and they punched well above thier weight. The present incumbent will be having a hard job living up to the Kear effect. You just never got the feel yesterday that they had a game plan particularly close to our line . A full strength team and I think they may spark into life . Something must have been up with manning yesterday because he only played for 30 mins and we all know on song you could leave him out there until the sun set. Smeatons defence on his outside let him down again yesterday . Will he ever learn to edge outwards and not cut in like he kept doing when he played for us. Thought a good coach could really make something out of Farrell.( junior) Who has speed and power but direction and passing ability is wayward. He could be very effective in an outside channel. Not suggesting we get him though. We have enough cover there.

A full back and a hooker at half back.

Batley's problem is injuries.

Happens to us all from time to time.

Let's hope they're all back fit for next week....

Manning's first game back after his stabbing?

No Greg his first game back after breaking his hand, we are still without direction with Walker and Brambani out and two or three more
Good luck with your push for the top

James Brown, who hit Johno, has been given a 2 match ban

Bet he doesn't feel good about that.
