I don't think you need to concern yourself with our finances pal. http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/ca ... -1-6428687

Batley will be a very tough game and I think it will be close.
They always give us a very hard game on our patch and its tough start for our new lads to gell in.
However I'm going for a Leigh win 24-16.

Already for our game against Batley Giants

Re: Batley - the BIG Build UP : Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:51 pm  

I agree it will be close but I think our lads will get the win, I am not writing Batley off because they are a good side but its usually more towards the end of the season when they have won games against us as they get stronger as the season goes on, hopefully this year we will remain strong all through the season assisted by our larger than normal squad.
Come on lads cant wait for Sunday !!

I agree with that mate I don't think there'll be more than a try or 2 between both sides I'll go with 22-18 to us. I also agree with Dick Jones sentiments too everyone should be welcome to post on here regardless of what team you support even Wiggin fans

Re: Batley - the BIG Build UP : Mon Feb 10, 2014 8:23 pm  

I agree with your point about visitors to this forum but Leigh will win comfortably on Sunday.

This squad of ours is far stronger than last season and Batley's isn't.

LS I really hope you are right , the bullfrogs wont turn up net week to lie down they never do , ive never been more optimistic about a new season as I am now , but I want to see our team play in a Competitive game before making any predictions .There are a couple of weak teams in the League this year , but also a couple of strong ones to , I also hope the Leigh Public come out to in numbers to support the Centurions .Not just the Die-hards .

Batley won't lie down that's for sure, will be a tough game but as I say against teams based more on strength and power (as Batley have for the last few years) we have the pack to deal with it and the backs to capitalise and get round the bigger men and will win by a fair margin. As for the teams that play more creative fast passing out wide like Featherstone and Sheffield......mmmmmmm... I'm not so confident YET. We have the talent there to at least match them, but I'm glad we get a few games in against these weaker sides (and Batley, they definitely won't be a weak side) first.

How do you know that then? Just as a matter of interest?

Have you looked at our signings, their pre-season form, their careers?

Perhaps, just perhaps, we might actually give you a game this week. But don't hold your breath, eh?
