Discuss Rugby League HERE!

@Mathew;

Haha I wouldn't want them after yesterdays match!

LOL, goodness knows how we beat them a few weeks ago. The issue we're having is that they're playing just one-man rugby. They started passing in the second half today and it was a lot better.

Ah that's good, hopefully a sign of things to come, much like us

Wooo!
You know, I remember going over to Widnes in 2010 (whilst we were competing in the NRC) and the thing I remember the most is a tall elderly lady who was selling programmes outside the main reception area. I remember seeing her again and again when she came up to Batley - quite frightening because she has one heck of a mouth on her!

Oh what.... hahahahahaha!! That is fantastic that you know exactly who I mean. Bless her.

haha I know! I see you have drawn London in the next round - should be close I hope it's on TV!

Warrington v Bradford, Catalan v Sheffield, Salford v Leeds, Leigh v Halifax, Oldham v St Helens, Fev v Wigan, Huddersfield v Swinton, Batley v London

Ughhhh, not a good result for us really. London don't really have a big fanbase so it won't bring many additional visitors to Batley. It's highly unlikely we'll win either, considering they crushed Dewsbury 72-4 at the weekend. If we'd drawn someone like Leeds, we could have expected 5000 visitors... which is a lot of money when you can charge £15 for entry. Oh well.

Looking forward to seeing the result of Leigh v. Halifax and Fev v. Wigan though.

I'm also looking forward to Leigh and Halifax - Wigan will crush Fev regardless of their success over cas imo

We have got Cas on Monday (Sky Sports) and Rangi Chase is back from suspension! They will kill us haha.

I always have a quiet giggle at that name! That should be a tough game, but it looks like anything can happen at the minute - Featherstone only beat Swinton by two points.. what is going on? I really believe that all the teams in the Championship division are pretty much equal this year. Batley have lost against Swinton and Keighley, yet we've won Featherstone and Leigh? None of it adds up because Featherstone go on to score a win against Castleford. Anyone could win this year.

We'll be going over to watch Batley Bulldogs vs. London Broncos on Sunday. The chances of winning are slim, but after reading an interview with John Kear on the Bulldogs website, it does seem they're pretty prepared - especially with the signing of Castleford Tigers' James Grehan. It should be a good game.
