what a good game that was to watch from a halifax fan unlucky on the result. see you next season now you have confirmed signing barlow can we confirm signing ridyard

He had a liking for blind alleys today. Other than the 40-20 not much else.

To lose a game when you score 3 tries to 1 is unforgivable and probably very very rare.

Hope we have signed some backs and not just forwards. I also hope there are some coaching courses available from the RFL to help our coach learn a Plan B.

Despite the try tally, the best team won. Too many unforced errors and daft penalties. Again.

Why bother signing the best hooker outside SL if you arent going to play him until it is too late?

Also no 1 rule of knock out RL, if you get the chance to take the lead, take it, after drawing level 25 yards out from the sticks with 10 minutes on the clock and 3 PTBs it would have been simple to set up a Drop Goal, instead we go wide and throw the ball into touch

Dumb rugby

Thats what I was saying. They didn't deserve to win.

Very poor from Leigh was Ryan B injured he was never in the game our forwards where second best and we looked totally clueless throughout most of the game even so we should have won that game in the last 10 mins but Batley where bigger stronger faster from 1...17 Won't get people back watching Leigh playing like that it was dire mindbending slow rugby at its worst hope to god we have signed another couple of players for the back line ..Ah well back to fishing matches on Sunday lot more fun will wait to see who the club are bringing infor next season before I buy a season ticket ect

Just in and on first viewing some 50/50's seemed to be well coached / won by Batley.
Having said that one team wanted it more and that was Batley - We could (and should) have still won the game as we had more than enough opportunities but instead we proved we cannot handle play off RL.
Rowley himself needs to take things from these games and learn as for me Kear outcoached him with a team that didn't have as much to offer (with all due respect to a hard working fully committed Batley team).

The off season needs to see the club looked at properly on & off field for us to move forward we need to know why we underachieve (is 4th place acceptable and if so are our current ambitions of SL too optimistic considering how far we have to come to catch up with the others in this league).

A few queries though from today for those that had the advantage of TV.......
- 1st Batley try : was it offside or not as 1st looking seemed to show the winger in front.
- The Leigh try disallowed for obstruction , was it as for me it looked like either player could have been penalised for taking each other out !

Judging by our signings, announced and rumoured, its gonna be just as slow next season.

Hope that's not the case Wilkes is class so that's a start we only need another half dozen with pace power n speed lol

Forwards set rhe platform, important we hold our own up front next season, hoppy and Parker take some replacing

All very true Col but we need some pace to take advantage of that. Unless we have kept a wizard half back signing secret I see no sign of any pace.

we need a scrum half,ryan hardly touched the ball today,to keep penky on the bench for so long was a joke.the number of people who were saying the coach has no plays set and has a forward only mentality might have it right.they looked disinterested and clueless and unfit.our right side needs to retire and ridyard wants to learn how to kep a move going,we will be lucky to get a thousand on next season after that debacle
