As with most games after our usual slow start to the season this is massive. We need a win not only for the two points but to keep up the momentum going into the CC Q/F. Batley had a good derby win at the summer bash so will be up for it no doubt. I think a win for Fax by 14. Hopefully a large following at The Mount again and we bring the points back with no injuries. Up The Fax!

I thought Batley defended well at the Bash - on a small field I think the difference might be below 10.

Don't think Dews offered too much in attack though

Batley by 10

Tangata back and Kirby in 19.Looks like we're rotating a few with next week in mind-but we have the depth.

Batley showed more desire to win and deserved it .the balance on the small pitch looked out if kilter for us with our own players getting in each others way on attack . We can do far better next week i am sure

Told ya

Batley were the better team on the day and definitely wanted it more than Fax which is very disappointing. Let's hope it was the calm before the storm. As for the ref....

There has to be questions on positional selections, why not Sharpe at FB & leave Grix at HB. We were light in the forwards due to injuries. Why Salty at Hunslet. Very disappointing afternoon best. Team won.

Ah ! Ref's fault.

It certainly wasn't the Refs Fault the better Team Won on the Day but he certainly made some baffling decisions not helped by the Touch judge

You'd make a good politician Griff. I clearly said Batley were the better team, they beat us in all aspects of the game. If though, you had seen the game you would have witnessed two of the most baffling refereeing decisions ever. Even the Batley players and the stewards were laughing. At the end of the match I questioned the ref who responded with a wink and a smile. Make of that what you will will. Up The Fax!
