Good on the forwards in the 2nd half, kaleb is an accomplished forward , he ie only signed on for 1yr
I would offer him a 3yr deal now before poachers come in !

Well at 14 - 12 to Batley and Trinity playing up that bloody hill I was proper worried , it wasn't as though Batley were throwing tricks at us we simply couldn't stop giving penalties away and kept letting them out of their own line , proper frustrating .

Thankfully we upped our game and won comfortably in the end .

Proper weird afternoon including the warm sunshine .

Agree pack looking good for S L Lot of work to do in the back 7 to get ready for SL

Thought he had signed for 1 year with club having option of a 2nd year. Uele has got a big engine on him and he is a real grafter. He will only get better too.

First 10 minutes it looked for all the world like a cricket score was on the cards , then a switch turned off in the team and we reverted back to our old ways and let Batley grab a hold on the game and were worth their short held lead . Round of the kitchen springs to mind in the changing room at half time ,and Uele finally dragged us back into the game crashing over the line and the crowd collectively let out a sigh of relief . Still clunky still one out rugby and lots of unforced errors /mistakes but at least we have enough to get us out of trouble nowadays , but jeez it’s taking some time to settle into a pattern that looks like its a planned move instead of off the cuff

Was certainly tough going today.

Uele my Mo today.

Hes improving every week and I thought today was his best game so far for us.


I think Matt Ellis enjoyed the appreciation of the supporters in that second half

Enjoyed that today.
Nice set up Batley have there.
Think we put the cue in the rack after going 12-0 up....
Full credit to Batley for getting back into it.
Have to say that the ref was "generous " with a few decisions for them...


I would surmise that DP "had a word" at HT.....


I don't subscribe to the playing up the hill as a disadvantage - It's about how you play and tbf, 2nd half was a real step up.
Good stuff from the forwards, not sure about LK at loose, but they did well.
Lach never really had a clear cut chance, but a lovely inside pass for Crofty to score.
Caleb (just) MOTM.
Up the Trin.

Early doors in the season and very happy with the forwards pack we have , plenty of pace and power and if and when we get the call to step up into the big boys league Imo they will be ready to take up that challenge and hold their own . The back line in the other hand is our Achilles heel I feel at this present time and will need some strengthening in the near future going forwards . Some obviously are still very much work in progress other I feel are at their level and some tough calls will have to be made if we are to hit the ground running in the future . Long way to go still this season and lots more rugby to be played

Did I imagine it or was Max put on report?

Match report in the League Express says he was. Can't say as I noticed myself.

Agree here. Wasn't someone on here a while back had been told by a Batly player that playing downhill can be as hard, if not harder than uphill especially if you are defending - retreating 10 yards running backwards uphill is a quad burner.

I noticed the referee raised and crossed his arms, so I guess the mid air tackle was put on report. Max will be ok for the Toulouse game, but could be at risk for the Sheffield game.
