Next up Batley : Wed Feb 08, 2017 11:07 am  

Referee: C Kendall

Score predictions

Batley12 Halifax 28

Batley struggled with Dewsbury pre season who then got hammered by Rochdale
Batley got hammered by new boys Toulouse.

I can not see Batley been a force this season. If we can win this and Sheffield next week its 4 points we did not pick up last year.

UP THE FAX

Batley on home ground tough to beat. Forward battle and good kicking game needed. To be fair our forwards looked good against Featherstone. Maybe ask Salford for a hooker and a Centre (is Welham available). Going for a score of Batley 26 Fax 18.

Ben Kaye has a 50/50 chance of making Sunday,surprisingly.

Heart wants a Fax win.
Head can't decide.
Batley are tough especially on their own patch and will want to bounce back after the weekend.
Fax can build on the second half display against Fev but without a specialist full back and possibly a 9 and maybe Heaton out might be a bit too much disruption.
Batley just to edge it by 8.

One of this match up is likely to be 0-2 suits me down to the ground.
Should fev win.... and I take nowt for granted, it puts us 4 clear of one of our main rivals which is already meaningful...
Batley v fax I can't separate. I wait for developments on this fixture with far more anticipation that owt that's happening in SL....
Cracking league now is this.... I just wish we could get a few more to watch it. Sunday was a cracking game

Batley will be a different side at home - Toulouse made them look slow and well off the pace - will be close

I agree Harry, Tolouse at home are a very good side, it will not matter to Batley what happened last week , they are a different team at the Mount, I was impressed with Fax last Sunday but feel The Dogs will have to much bite for Fax, a score of Batley 26 v Fax 16.Charlie knows.
