Batley though, bet your all looking forward to that clash.

Yeah of course good chance of a win

We're all looking forward to our day out in Hull. My picks on who to look out for are James Brown and Alex Rowe in the forwards. Ainscough on the wing and our very good fullback Scott. Rettie on the wing is also useful and our number 7 Brambani takes us around the park with a decent kicking game. Our forwards usually give us the platform and it will be interesting to see how we do. Come and say hello on Sunday we'll be the noise ones in the Colin Hutton stand

Think they were on telly twice in cup?.useful team with good pack Ainscough looks heftier but still rapid.certainly tougher than Oldham .If we go behind early a score or 2 it will be hard and crowd will be on teams back.if attitude is correct we should be ok but this time around in this comp I seem more worried than last year.webster for me doesn't have the balls to give the team a rollicking

Its a game where we need to have a good completion rate and not get frustrated if we don't score very early. We should be better in every position so as long as we respect the ball then we should rack up points.

Lot of should's in there though.

yep we played fev then Catalans on sky in cup , Catalans 3 week after they beat Hull kr 40.0 , Batley lost 40.4

After failing in their main 2016 objective, to beat Hull FC, Rovers' morale will be at a seasons low.

This is the time for Batley to capitalise. Batley full of confidence and wanting to start off their middle 8 campaign with a scalp.

Didn't realise that was our main objective.
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is!

Even batley know your biggest games are against the table toppers.

Reckon Batley will bring about 500, but we make a lot of noise
