As i will be a Fax fan for the evening and will be having my usuual 1st Try last Try bet who is your tip to back? i was thinking of Black or Penky any assistance accepted gratefully. Cmon Fax

Haley or Paterson for me!

Royston or jermaine mcgilvaray for batley

Says on Batley's other forum that Mcgilvaray is injured and probably won't be playing.

If he aint playin its a Huge boost for you and a big boost for us JM'C is outstanding in this league would like to see him get a go in SL he scores tries for fun.

Big Dave leading from the front if he plays.

Shads always good for 1st try scorer, wudnt waste my money on black, doubt he'll be playing!!

Saw him in the gym this morning training with some of the other giants players, should've asked him if he was playing. He looked fit enough but don't suppose you can tell by looking. Defo good news for us if he's not playing, he's as good as any winger in this league, if not the best.

Did his legs look ok? Apparently he was on crutches after having to come off during the game at Whitehaven last Sunday.

Looked to be moving fine, certainly wasn't on crutches, no strapping or anything on his legs. He was training his upper body however.

He was in the gym on matchday ?

Correct

Was he fit to play for Batley, or will he be playing for the under-strength Giants this weekend, many injuries prior to a challenge cup final, how novel ?

id say neil cherryholme a good bet!

You sure?
