Its a game where we need to have a good completion rate and not get frustrated if we don't score very early. We should be better in every position so as long as we respect the ball then we should rack up points.

Lot of should's in there though.

Think they were on telly twice in cup?.useful team with good pack Ainscough looks heftier but still rapid.certainly tougher than Oldham .If we go behind early a score or 2 it will be hard and crowd will be on teams back.if attitude is correct we should be ok but this time around in this comp I seem more worried than last year.webster for me doesn't have the balls to give the team a rollicking

yep we played fev then Catalans on sky in cup , Catalans 3 week after they beat Hull kr 40.0 , Batley lost 40.4

After failing in their main 2016 objective, to beat Hull FC, Rovers' morale will be at a seasons low.

This is the time for Batley to capitalise. Batley full of confidence and wanting to start off their middle 8 campaign with a scalp.

Reckon Batley will bring about 500, but we make a lot of noise

Can't see you bringing two thirds of your normal home support

Re: Middle 8 Fixtures : Wed Aug 03, 2016 10:54 pm  

Forget about how many away fans or fc tossers fishing ,this game is very loseable.come out 100mph and keep it up we win was going to say superleague intensity but after our erratic performances nowt is taken for granted.Hoping for a convincing win but expect a few nervy moment

We are strange that way. We have a core support who travel well and certainly turn out for the bigger games! It was estimated that we took at least 600 to Swinton for our final Championship game
