1.Murrell (was the driving force behind our victory today)
2.Greenwood/Saltonstall (can't decide)
3.Bracek/Ambler (can't decide)

1. Murrel: never stopped , cajoling, encouraging & working and some decent kicking.
2. Tyrer: Awesome defensive effort.
3. Bracek: Ditto.

What an old fashioned slog in the mud that game was. It's hard to pick out players on that game but I would say Scott and Miles stood out for me. Unhappy with the 1st half, delighted with the 2nd half.

Grove, shudds. Durham, Pale Ice 3.9 % Mmm!

Scott.
Miles.
Luke.
Mind you Salty didn't miss much and Mitch put in some good tackles. As my great friend Hudd shay says difficult to pick anyone out a good team effort.
The team looks happier this season to me, any thoughts on this/why?
A great defensive display, at half time I was worried, second half seemed to be played in our 20 at times.
Having said that given the score both sides could claim a good defensive display.
Best bit for me, Luke once again leading the team to the fans and then last of the field shouting "up the ref" the Batley fans loved that.
Great display both teams on a typical Summer Rugby Day.





Yorkshire Tea, %. Mmmmmmm , i'nt life brilliant.

Saltonstall
Greenwood
Kaye

Great defence

Actually that's a lot different to all the above, just goes to show we all see different things in different players, Robbo was imense, Bracek, etc etc.
As I have said great team effort.

The whole team as to a man they tackled their hearts out in tough conditions today, good effort.

tbh alot of players were on form today we needed to be agree about Bracek and Ambler was great as usual but went for these guys as they shephereded the defence manificently in the 2nd half and kaye has come on leaps and bounds this season

It was a hard fought match. Well done to all the team
One thing that stands out from this match and the Leigh match is our fitness is 100% better this season and better than the clubs we have played so far.
Well done all the players back room staff and the Fans today were awesome. More Fax there than than Batley

Didn't get to the game but from what I could gather from Radio Leeds the boys put in a very professional performance, especially second half.

Glad to see Matty Place got his name on the scoresheet and a few other players getting mentions for a change like Moore, Bracek and Saltonstall.

TBH I've always thought Bracek to be pretty limited and prone to coming up with errors however he seems to be taking his chance. Early days I know but is Bracek one example of RM being able to bring the best out of his players?

Batley have been a bogey team in the past and next week sees the visit of another bogey team, Featherstone. Another win would really put a marker down in what will be another difficult game.

On a different note I was pleased to hear RM in a Fax TV interview say his was dissapointed with players congratulating opposition players when they come up with a mistake.....spot on Richard!

Massive effort against a good Batley side, especially in the second half when they through everything at us and hit granite.
No sign of fatigue and we finished strongly again.

Braceck
Ambler

Great defensive effort by all 17.

Great result. Bring on fev. If it's on.

better weather from wednesday onwards, so should be on.

I thought our kicking game was poor under Murrell,better in second half when Place took over.

Agree with comment
Hard to pick M.o.M. big team effort.

I wud give the entire defence the Man of Match. That was what won us game.
Reluctant to say anything bad about any individual but did think kicking game was poor in 1st half. Everything down Batleys throat.
2nd half Place took more responsibility for kicks and we were far better. Add that to the try he scored & I'd if pushed to give a man of match it wud be him.
Would also give a special mention to Ben Kaye who is now looking like a hooker.

Tyrer - stunning defensive effort
Murrell - kicking game, especially after the break
Greenwood - all round solid game

You must have gone to the same game as RM while others like John/Norton and
me went to another.

Wasnt there but most impressive thing is how much the answers vary on this thread! clearly an all round team performance
