Simply outstanding from Batley, best defensive effort ive seen this year with 2 very good halfbacks.

The fans and players of that club deserve it, well done.

Congratulations to them.

As I've just said on the other board, Rhino has they really well drilled and looks to be getting the best from his players.

Fantastic defensive effort, the defending line moving up and smothering the attacking side. Nice deep line in attack giving the ball carrier options. We could learn a lot from that performance.

Well done Batley and i thought we should have got Harrison as a coach.

Batley have to go in as favourites against us. They will be a massive task. And its a credit to them that they are.

Well done Batley, superb result for them. Given the way they've demolished Leigh, there is no way I am relieved we're playing Batley instead of them.

Well....it does mean the so called formality of the box tick is pushed just that further back for the leythers.

Ruddy Hell Dalto we have Keighley to get over yet mate.

Eep. That was an entirely uncharacteristic error.

Keighley will also be a big challenge, I just got ahead of myself.

"Dare to Dream", but even if we get to Blackpool, after watching tonight we would have to start playing from minute one not twenty minutes in to stand any chance, if we play like we did last Sunday, its curtains, ok we have already ticked the box, but its a goal we want to achieve this year.

what odds on an all Yorkshire Final??

Congrats to Batley , and a lesson to fans and players alike for Sunday. the fav doesnt always win in a 2 horse race if they expect "David" to just turn up and roll over .

A professional performance on Sunday will see us thru , get a good start and keep the penalty count down.

The Vicar

Truer words were never spoken. Our discipline is key on Sunday. Hopefully Lee Doran has heard the recent criticism. Cut out the ball ripping and messing about and he would be a great player instead of just an infuriating one.

Thackery and Davies apart , who both have been inspiring in their efforts , Lee Doran has been our best player over the last 8-10 weeks . Davies aside , he has carried the pack , and an indication of his workrate and importance to the side is shown in the Batley debacle.

This penalty count image is a carry over from last year. Earn a reputation and its hard to shake.

The Vicar

Its hard to shake when he has a game like last week, first 8 odd penalties, he had a hand in every single one.

No complaints from me...Batley were by far the better team and we were rubbish......think you will have to improve if you want to win the final this season as Batley (with Fev) are the current form team at the mo....................providing you dont slip up on sunday that is.

Cannot see us beating Batley with the squad we have, we may struggle with Keighley.
