maybe they are looking at wembley but batley are not a team to just roll over

Well a certain half back is left out, and the Bulls produce one of the most disciplined, collective and entertaining performances of the season.

I have to ask whether we found out today who has been the "bad apple" in the team this season?

Grear result, a lot will be made of Batley had one eye on Wembley (didn't make a difference to Leigh today) but we played on Monday that can have a big effect on a PT team.

1 point off third...

plus Sheff lost

I hope this is the last we have seen of Dec Patton.

I know people will look to the dropping of Patton but that performance is more than just 1 player being left out. I have been critical of Patton this year but he hasn't been the only player with inconsistent performances.

He was rightly dropped after Monday and the unforgiveable dissent and poor attitude. What happens with him moving forwards should depend on how he reacts. But I think wherever he goes next will have to accept that he is a player who will always blow hot and cold and quite often in the same match!

Nice to see some quality tries in the second half. That Appo one was great and the try at the end for Lawrence was the icing on the cake.

Some great defence too. Those tackles by Lilley to force a knock on and by Holmes in the second half shook the earth.

Can't see Patton getting back in the side.

Since Patton landed we have been inconsistent verging on terrible, drop him and we have the performance of 2 seasons, please oh please tell me he never wears a first team jersey again.
Can't see him signing for anyone else either tbh.

for the bulls, like GFS, Lilley bleeds RAB ... the Leeds cup game just proved it ... Lilley at 9 with segayrayarooo (that guy ) ... Gaskill 6 plus livewire half ... Holmes has to be FB and links really well ... of course i cant see our games just going on assumption (take my tupence worth a pinch of salt)

patton to gill, we know the drill plus goal kicking ... too predictable and have others mentioned, a liability

looks like fev going down at fax as is

Fev just remind me of a team at junior rugby who are bigger than everyone else and bully thier opponents. When they come up against a side who they can't just run over the top of, they look bang average. Even the tries they scored were just a big man running through.

Also "one eye on Wembley" narrative didn't apply to Halifax. Well played the Panthers.

yeah great result for fax
