No excuses today. Our strongest squad all year and it is a very very strong squad. As good as Batley are, we simply shouldn't be losing against them at home with that team.

No hall could be a mistake imo

Re: Batley (H) : Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:05 pm  

Murphy looks like he’s at centre with Butler and Scott in SR and R. Evans on the bench??

Not sure I like that. Having a centre on the bench and having Murphy in the centres?

I wonder if this squad has been picked based more on favourites than anything tactical

Weird line up. From looking like we've the strongest squad for a while, it looks very mix and match. Suppose Kear knows who's fit and sees them in training. But it definitely looks like he's tried to make sure certain players are in that line-up. Don't want to start conspiracy theories but none of the Wales players are missing out.

Scott and Fleming injured in 1st half. Patton sinbinned. Despite that we're 12-12 at half time.

Two assists from Lilley who's played well despite looking like he's been on the same diet as Crossley and Walker.

Batley comeback on

Great result. A few dodgy moment but overall it was good performance. Probably made it closer than it needed to be with some wasted opportunities to kill the game off but cannot grumble with the defensive effort to keep Batley pinned back.

The try from Tindall was a great finish that I'm not sure we would scored with our own wingers.
