Wanted them down, personally. Don't let them fool you, I'm sure they'd have liked to see us do the same last year.

So is their survival confirmed?

Not quite, their remaining fixtures are:
Fax (h)
Gateshead (a)
Whitehaven (h)

On a good day, they might get 2 wins, but certainly all of those games are losable. The worst they could end up on is 27 points.

Batley have 26 points and have to play:
Fax (h)
Fev (a)

Gateshead have 23 points and have to play:
Leigh (h)
Barrow (a)
Doncaster (a)

Looking at those, I would say Leigh will end up on 28 (providing Fax play as they can), Batley will have 27, and Gateshead 29. I think Leigh are certainly in the driving seat at the minute as Batley have really tough fixtures. If Batley can win on Thursday though, it will really put the cat amonst the pigeons.

My thoughts exactly , and the reason nothing is sorted yet

I expect Batley to get something out of both games they have left , they showed their resilience on Sunday at the rec scoring in the 79 th minute to grab a point

These are Batleys home form of recent


Batley 48-24 Whitehaven
Batley 40-34 Widnes
Batley 46-16 Barrow
Batley 56-12 Doncaster
Batley 22-34 Sheffield

And contrast that with Fax's recent form too.

Batley should go in confident that they can win!
