A little bitter there soft lad, perhaps the recent tonkings we've given you has stirred your bile. I'll just put on the DVD where we totally obliterated you with 12 men and sit back and wallow in my clown suit.

I don't think anyone has been disrepectful to Batley. They were fantastic particulalrly in defence and also had a lot of possession.
Giants defence was top class though and Batley scored from a kick which should have been dealt with if ou ryoung winger had not been sleeping.
They i think made one clean break all game and this from deep witihn their own half when Murphy nailed their hooker.
The Giants probably had half a dozen clean breaks with probably slightly less possession and once they scored their first try i never realistically thought they would lose.
I would say the Giants were just the better side but credit to Batley.

I thought the best team lost .Fartown won because they were bigger and fitter . Batley played the better rugby . One thing I couudn`t understand was that in the second half , with that huge slope to kick to , the so called best kicker of a ball in superleague , never used it once .I was confidently predicting at half time that Brough would kick Batley to death , why he didn`t will remain a mystery .

watching the game i never felt the giants were in danger of losing.

like most posters have said though credit to batley for giving it a good go, it was alot more shaky 2 years ago for me though

Why kick down a slope when chances are the ball will roll out and give them the opportunity to take a quick tap on the ten before the defence are organised?

Batley tackled their heart out and made very few mistakes but to say they played the better rugby IMO is not correct. They rarely looked like scoring as most of their play revolved around five drives and a kick most of which were mopped up by Murphy.
Giants didnt play great rugby either but did i fell try to play a liitle bit more attacking rugby than Batley.

Our defence is awesome this season 129 points conceded in 10 championship games , average of 12.9 points a game, most we have conceded is 18, in a 18 all draw against fax, some comments on here that giants played bad is rubbish, giants played as good as we let them, don't give teams space, they can't play, simples

Cant argue with that Bob, Batley stopped us playing our usual game by hammering us in the tackle and forcing errors. They deserve credit for that ......you could see their heads go down though when Lunt scored ...almost like the wall had come down, after that though their intensity dropped as expected and they couldnt keep it up, from our point of view thank god they did !!!!

Broughy tried it once from inside our 30 metre line and the ball went dead in goal, on any other pitch it would have been a brilliant 40/20 that everyone would have been raving about for weeks.

Exactly!

Yes I remember the kick of Brough`s that went dead , if howevever he`d have kicked to the other side of the pitch I think he would have found that the ball may well have rollled into touch . The pitch at that side slopes in 2 directions , even without 40/20`s making Batley continually have a scrum in their own 25 may well have kept more pressure on them , than we seemed to manage .
