harrison wont let them crumble

batley to win 28-18

think there pinning the whole season on this, just like we did in the semi's unfortunaltly i cannot see their defence being as strong as the leyth game

It was very strong against Barrow.

Are we still going up Leigh to watch the game Frank

I dont care personally just want a good game and a proud dad will be reading his sons report on the game in the LEAGUE Express on Monday as our Dave has been commissioned to do it.

congrats to Dave, least a part of the leyth is in the final

hopefully Batley to win!

Thanks for that Ste - first final as a reporter so it's going to be a nervous one. Hope I can do the game proud and make it a good read for both sets of fans.

Congratulations Dave, on your first major final. Here's hoping it's the first of many!

It could only have been better if you had been covering Leigh!

If Batley play like they did in the semif final they'll win at a canter.

Batley to win 32-14

Widnes are Favourites, and i can not believe how many from leigh are supporting Batley.

Widnes may be favourites but you cannot underestimate Batley, personally i don't know which way it will go.

Widnes to win in the crowd stakes at least (4-1?)

I am not underestimating them at all.Just seems funny alot thinking we will get beat by alot.We have the bigger support and players who have been their before.

having watched batley murder us in the semi,they should walk this final..BUT.. it doesnt happen like that does it.
widnes have got all the experience in the world for the big occasion so im edging towards them in a very very close game.

I hope the best team wins and if it happens to be Batley they will have ticked a box.

Franchising ? Do me a favour.What a crazy way to run a professional game.

This is all true, that's why i am not sure which way it will go.

Should be an entertaining final whatever happens... doesn't look like the sun is gonna shine on Bloomfield Road for this years event though lol

Just booked my seat in the local Sports Bar

to watch it in the ´Very Sunny Costa del Sol´

because Batley don't do finals, as a rule - WIDNES by 14.

It was your round as well,

Frank will have to get them in now then,

have a good time matey.

Hoping for Batley, but as said already Widnes have done these finals so many times b4.

Come on Batley!!!

batley have no aspirations for sl, according to harrison

Would be nice to see the Batley Chairman rewarded with his input over the years by his team winning a trophy.

Harrison is a good coach and will have them fired up, however its a big final for them whereas Widnes have been there, done that and got the T'shirt.
Think Widnes might just have enough to win though.
Its a tough one to call but as a true Lancastrian I will be cheering for.....BATLEY





There is a down side to a smogs defeat though, I'm sure Widnes are our next opponents ?
Surely a week of Widnes 'celebrating' might help us turn our league form around when we visit the car stereo free zone

If they lose then it will knock the stuffing out of them as our semi final defeat seemed to.
