Yep. McCarron will be missed but we have a few options up front and Douglas named in the squad was a concern so hopes he’s fit. Just need a repeat of last weeks commitment on show at the mount.

Decent game although we bombed several good chances meaning it was a lot closer at the end than it should have been . We looked the better side but spent far too much time just trying to batter down the middle - almost every time we moved the ball out wide with any conviction we scored. Tangata was tireless and made several good breaks including the winning try, Graham took his trys well and is definitely better on the wing than centre - that said Saints loanee centre was quite anonymous after a good debut last week. Nofaluma probably just my MOM - takes the high ball well, returns strongly and is always looking to make things happen. Saw McCarron with his leg in a brace - doesn't look likely to be back any time soon. Really like everything about Batley - except that bloody slope - seen us lose more over the years than win so overall happy with the result.

Fev fans seem to think McCarron has signed for them for next season. 

Already reported on social media and I've also heard from within club - they've offered way more money

In which case and with him being injured at present i'm not bothered if we see him in a fax shirt again.Far too early to commit for next season,if our competition had any credibility in the first place it totally undermines it.

Pretty much spot on this.Sambou's only contribution was to bomb a try early on.Not sure why he was favoured over Graham on that surface,but team selection has us all baffled at times.Assume Calcott was injured ?

I feared the worse with it chucking it down and i just thought this suits a John Kear coached Batley side more than it does us. And at 16-6 down with not long to go i thought we had lost it but thankfully a strong finish saw us home. It is clear now who Kyle wants in certain positions like Woody in the halfs and who as fallen out of favour like Brad Graham plus a few others who are only considered when we have injuries. It will be interesting who stays and goes come the end of the season one thing is for sure we will need to improve a lot to get the points on friday.

That's the rules we play to . And can't blame a player for trying to maximise his earnings and secure certainty of a contract in a short and not very lucrative semi professional career. 

Probably no different to last year, very likely he had signed for us way before Whitehavens season had ended. 

Heard Calcott had been ill. I'd have  have had Brad Graham in instead of Mccomb

In reply to Gizempo,as this site loves it quotes..yes of course you’re right,but I just dislike the rules..I’ve yet to understand what Grahams done wrong and thought he was great in the centres..how it’s preferable to play three hookers and lightweights like Mccomb and Davies ahead in pecking order defies all logic.

Re McCarron, it has been said before and will be again, unprofessional of both player and club to let it be known half way through a season that a player is changing allegiance. Does the coach and team mates have confidence in him to give his best to the man who pays his current wages, or will the player try and hide on the field and protect himself from possible injury? Unfortunately until the RFL  do something about it this will happen time and time again, as Beaujangles says do Fax fans want to see him in blue n white again ?
