Batley have now beaten Halifax four times this season, all in games which have been settled by less than than 8 points.
11-4 in a very tasty 'Champions of Champions' game
26-25 at the Shay in the NRC
36-28 at the Shay in the League
18-16 today at MP
I am just interested to hear why, having attended the games and read the rlfans and totalrl forums, that none of these results appear to be down to the skill, planning and fortitude of Batley.
I have spoken with, heard and read the attitudes of many Fax fans and it is always the referee's fault, because Fax have played badly or because a certain player is missing. Along with this there's been some astonishingly misplaced arrogance.
All I'm asking is you those who are guilty of this should show a bit of humility and give some deserved credit. We have a small but good quality squad who are well coached and motivated and it irks a little when this smug 'it's only Batley (insert any other club who've beaten you this year) attitude comes out when you've been outfought, out gameplanned or simple being pipped in a tight game between two evenly matched teams.

I was actually going to give some to Richard Lewis and Nigel Wood for the stirling work they've done over the last six years. In fact, i may be nominating them for a Pride of Britain award. Sniff. I'm filling up now..................
I am seriously considering nominating Nigel Wood to run with the Olympic Torch .
There is a Loyds advert on the telly asking people for their nominations the sight of watching Nigel having to run a mile or two with the torch and without stops for the buffet is something I would even pay to see.
