Well its almost here and time to get some questions answered
Will we be good enough to avenge last seasons play off defeat?
Do we have the support to be a serious contender?
Are the pack as good as they look?
Can we carry on scoring the brilliant team try's?
Cant wait

Definitely good enough to 'avenge' the play-off defeat. The players were completely spent at the end of last season, many playing injured, because of the threadbare state of our squad. There can be no such excuses this year. We've recruited well and recruited big! We all know the time is now!
Let's get it on!

| Be interesting to see what Batley have to offer, this season. They are without FIFTEEN of last season's squad, including EIGHT who played in that play-off game. The majority of their new signings are young, including one certain Ant Nicholson, who is certain to have something to prove!
For any more info. on Batley's newcomers, buy 'The Centurion' - priced at just £2.50!  |

I have had a few glasses of shandy since the 15th September, however I seem to remember it being the complete lack of game plan that lost that match! |

Last year our main problem was we was lacking size in the forwards & when Parker was out it showed against the likes of Fev & Batley who have/had massive packs. Secondly when Riddy & Kes were injured we struggled in attack but with Kay & Govin added to our half back/dummy half options we have better depth to our squad now. Batley have lost alot of last seasons players & with the majority them being their best ones where we have strengthened considerably so I am confident that we will win this match well & send the bulldogs back home with their tails between legs.

Keith  you are not usually prone to rash predictions ,I predict a very close game , and hopefully a Leigh win by 10 points , does the Bonus point still exist for the Coming season ?
As for the Bullfrogs , John Kear will have them playing their usual frustrating type of Rugby , he couldn't coach my dog Sam to sit up , and if he did it would at an angle never rated the bloke , I do however predict a Leigh , but by 30 , I just cant see it . |

As I havesaid Iain , I think Leigh will win , but not by much , and ive NEVER seen a Bulldog with its tail in between its legs they have little stubby tails , don't they ?  . |
