A definite banana skin this one. Batley are always a tough nut to crack plus we are known to turn out quite poorly when we are above the opposition in the league and considered favourites. Add to that the shorter turn around and bodies out means our unbeaten home record will be tested.

Key game to continue building momentum and push us along in the race for the playoffs / upper playoff spots

I really like Lilley at 9 and Holmes in the halves so I’d be tempted to play Jowitt at FB. However Holmes has been class there and like many have said Roby might bring much needed energy. So unsure on this one.

Hopefully we get Tindall this week and Walters/Donaldson.

Rob Butler might be available for this game too.

This week has just got car crash written all over it hasnt it !

The Keighley and York results were car crashes. There were games we should have won. I think Batley are a good side, very tough and the energy we used on Monday, coupled with the fact they've had 3 extra days rest than us puts up against it.

I remain optimistic if we can rotate the forwards a bit. My worry as usual is in the centres and wings where we're very thin on the ground.

Is Rogers back from his ban yet? Could be a juggling act with the loans and dual reg. We can use 5 in total and we now have 4 loans in place without including dual reg.

Batley looking a little lighter in the pack now that Dane Manning has received a 2 game ban.

Championship bans start the week after so unfortunately he'll play against us.

Dunning has confirmed George Roby has left the club, which would appear to settle that debate.

It still amazes me that even after all these years people still dont have a clue how the judicial system works. Its the same posts every week

Looks like I was right, he may have been becoming a liability with a possible long ban ahead of him.

He also said he’s likely to go out on loan elsewhere in champ so not that big of a ban incoming. I suspect given amount of loan and dr lads we have options on and with walker coming back Lilley and GF snr will share hooking role and we don’t need to have a hooker using a spot on loan. I also think Lilley looks dangerous from hooker and it’ll be good to see Holmes involved at half back with young Jack nearly fit

Absolutely spot on

Just been reading that Roby has gone to Swinton on loan for the rest of the season.

All named in the 21 man squad but I think Rohan will go with the same 17 as Sunday so a good chance!
