Did Black play then,thought he was resting?

Black had a rest along with the other 9 first team players

great result for Batley today, hope it's a sign that Fev wont be dominating the competition this yr

This makes no sense. Best shape? He didnt play. How well they play Mount Pleasent, wasnt it at Fev? Like i say, no sense.

Fev rested a load of players as well. Batley fans were on Radio Whinos and going off like they had won the league. Batley will do well but doubt will win the league. As for Blacks comments well new player at club always come out with lines like never been as fit and training is harder than ever before. What players say take with a pinch of salt. Fev are still the team to beat and Powell will get them winning cups and not just dead rubber games.

We rested three. Batley came prepared for a mud fest and slugged it out playing far the more intelligent rugby on show. Our discipline was crapola and we looked vulnerable against the kick behind the line.
Batley quite simply played the better rugby against a team that should arguable have beaten them. And fair play to them.
It was an unacceptable performance from Fev. Daryl's comments in the clubhouse yesterday were an indicator that things WILL be put right.
The only prob is, he may be without 4 1st choice forrads over the next couple of weeks cos of the dozy actions of a player yesterday and some handbags at yours the week afoore!
We always start slowly and for some daft reason can't seem to play on a heavy pitch!
Time for Daryl to earn his money.

Im saying your quote dosnt make sense. Its not relevent to what he said.

As for not liking him........hes one of my favourite players ive seen in a Fax shirt over the last decade.

Don't know about Ben Black being out of shape but he sure walloped down a 3 course meal in the top house before the FEV v Batley game. And that takes some doing. On the game itself. Easy to sum up. The Batley players ran on the pitch and thought "wet muddy day, 5 drives and a kick today lads" FEV on the other hand ran out and thought "lovely sunny day, lets throw the ball about" and they did, ALL GAME!!!!. 19 dropped ball compared to Batleys 1. Idiots, bl00dy idiots. Big congrat to Batley, they maybe or may not be a better team than FEV but they are a hell of a lot smarter.

we did beat fev , but as they say one swallow doesnt make a summer , lets wait n see , theres lots of tough games to come , but things are lookin ok for the dogs , Mr kear with held a few players knowing we had a hard game 4 days later , so from previous week there was no baz smith , gaz moore , ben black , danny maun , jason walton , ash lindsey , alex walmsley , john walker and we did ok , wether it was fev that hadnt got over the hard game with you , or us who were good we shall learn as the season progresses , but im sure the 2 games against fax will be crackers

Batley looking good. Benny looking sharp. Could be four teams in the mix for t'title this year.

Good game that was. Well done Batley. Premier Sports seems like a good set up too, the video ref analysis much better than that margin meter!

Batley look like a very good outfit to me, they were +8 on sky bet on the handicap and 2-1 for the win. I was all over that like a rash, a tenner on the batley win and stuck the handicap in as part of an accumulator. I was a little concerned to find them 10-0 down after 6 mins but they came good. John kear looks to have them very well organised, as for Leigh im not convinced on Rowley as a coach, he just doesnt seem to cut it somehow.

Wow ... always great when you show how much you bet on an event after it`s been played.
As for PR as a coach .....Leigh lost by a whopping 6 pts on the opening day League fixture.

Leigh also lost to Sheffield a couple of weeks back. Lets be honest this is Paul Rowleys umpteenth time at trying to manage the club on which he has failed every time.
