well done to Batley today. Played Well and used the hill to their advantage.

Giants were a bit flat but who cares in the hat for the next round.

LOD was immense today.

As I backed Batley at 100-1 on Betfair if Giants had have pulled it back I wouldn't have been crying too much.

Much better to have a testing game like that than win 80 nil.

If you paid then you must be one of the very few who did.

And you must have enjoyed it.


Fantastic day for Batley. I thought handforths kicking was magnificent.

what a performance from batley today ...absolutely immense from every one of them, we were awful and i actually thought we were going to lose today. if we had it certainly would not have been undeserved. we were 2nd best in most aspects of the game today !

if Brough could kick goals it wouldnt have been remotely close.

Struggled with the wind a bit, up until that game he has been fairly solid. From the performance today I would say Brough's goal kicking is the least of our worries.

I thought Batley's defence was outstanding for stints today and their big men really stood up to the challenge in the forwards.

Yes Batley played great, but they did not deserve to win as we scored 6 tries to 3. If Brough had converted more try`s the pressure would have been less.
These banana skin matches also make the players a bit nervous and things do not come off as normal.

Also well done to most of the Giants fans who stayed in the ground to applaud the Batley team off, even our players were still on the pitch clapping them off.
I've never seen an opposition get such an ovation in all my time watching Fartown, which to me shows how well they did play !!

Yes I was one of those. A magnificent display from Batley.
