Eagles 22-12 Batley : Wed May 12, 2010 9:43 pm  

After a slow start and a really poor first half, we really turned it on in the second half and showed what we can do. Alex Rowe was excellent, five tries in two games for a prop forward is some going, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Super League clubs sniffing around him if he carries on like he is doing. I thought Batley gave a really good account of themselves and probably deserved to be further ahead than they were at half time, I think class and an extra bit of fitness shone through in the second half. Onwards and upwards.

Batley were probably the better side until the middle of the second half.

Agree Alex Rowe had another very good game.

Hope Trevor E and Brendon's knocks don't keep them out on Saturday.

2 grumbles
2 supporters who regulars will know quite well (that won't be reading this post as they'd struggle with a Fisher Price never mind a grown up PC) having a go when 0 - 12

Away kit too similar to Batleys especially from the side

1st half,Batley looked the hungrier.Tackled better,made more yards,out enthused us,We really need to start playing the full 80mins,Our tackling 1st half was woeful,2nd half a different team with a different mentality and different attitude,If only we could see more of that and less of the 1st half,We have the players to do really well,Theres just no consistency but well done on the win,Hope Tolouse isnt a game too soon.

I thought we were very even handed in our results against Heavy Woollen clubs.

Perhaps Misi is revelling in his new role as skip?

Probably one of the best games he's had in Eagles colours?

I feared the worst early on but we came good in the end, although it was literally at the end. Hopefully good luck comes in threes and we'll pick up the result on saturday against talouse.
