Well done to the lads, a little lapse in defence at times, which would get exploited by a free flowing fax, but overall great win under the circumstances.



And when did Jimmy learn to pass? Thought he played well with ball in hand, think it was his nice short pass that put Hilly on his rampaging run.

And I was told at the start of the game that Riddy would be MOM as his Dad was choosing it!



And finally well done to those of you who managed to get there,

I was also put out a little the delayed Kick off it meant I had endure an extra couple of pints.

His dad works for SKY?

He's always MOM in SKY matches!

Most times JT does pass something in attack really happens he doesn't waste his energy does Jimmy

Well I often see him with ladders so he must do.

The shammy must be for the sky camera lens then

Try of the match for me was Hilly's barnstorming run up the middle , pass out to Donlan and then Donlans looping pass back to Riddy to dance under the sticks



Another great result away , and to think the sky common tayters we're talking about a bonus point at one stage pffftttt ha ha !

When Batley got to 16 points, one of their players gave the call out to get a 'bonus point'....cue "bonus point, you're having a laugh" when we scored another couple of tries

Well done to the Barmy Army last night , very vocal and all songs came across as clear as a bell on Sky , especially liked Time to go , followed by a rendition of we can see you sneaking out ! LOL

After the performance we put in last night in those circumstances, I am absolutely, most definitely and with a passion, looking forward to the final.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeigh.

Preparation is key - and after last nights limited preparation time and going on that performance , can only imagine the final to be an absolute blinder given full preparation time and also recovery time from any bumps and knocks . Only moan I had about last nights game were the 4 grab attempt tackles on brown when he scored Batleys last try down the wing , every Leyther in the ground must of been shouting tackle his legs !!!

In fairness he is as strong as an ox but the attempts (I think it was Armstrong and Maden? I could be wrong) maybe should have been a bit stronger. How good was Donlan's try saver in the first half? Definitely a game changer. Hill was immense first half going up the hill.

I think the delay affected Batley more than Leigh, you could see Harrison getting worked up and it probably rubbed off on the players in the changing room, which could have taken swayed their focus.

Totally agree Harrison looked stressed

LOL
Totally professional display from the lads after such a rough journey

Well he is built like a brick poo house and that coupled with running downhill it was always going to be a hard tackle especially for one ,maybe if Mills had been on the wing
