O/T Batley : Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:21 pm  

Just watching the game now. Got to say what a fantastic performance by Batley. I'll put my hand up and say that at the weekend I was thinking Leigh must have played a weakened team and that Leigh would make it through to the final tonight.
How wrong... what a terrific defensive performance.
No tick in the box for Leigh......... yet.

Millward certainly wasn't expecting that...


Well done the dogs....

Gets the thumbs up in wigan, leigh getting beat

And to think just a few weeks ago the Leythers were on top of the world - they were almost taking the tick in the box back as a formality.

With Barrow, Featherstone and Halifax all looking dangerous, a top 2 is far from guaranteed making a GF that little bit harder. Just glad we have already got that tick in the box as after the NRC final there only one more chance for clubs like Leigh to get the imfamous tick.

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.

A very friendly place. I've always liked the Batley supporters. Good for them!

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.

Re: O/T Batley : Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:58 pm  

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.

Eep. That was an entirely uncharacteristic error.

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