Congrats to big Karl and Batley tonight.

rugby is a team game they weren't playing for Thornton we were on fire. They are playing well under Rhino needed to win, simple Rhino is a good coach for a club like batley

Batley are different team from back at the shay.

Mount pleasant has become a fortress, interesting to see how other Championship sides perform there this season.

Exactly. What has happened to our pack. Speaks volumes when a workman like bottom 3 team can totally dominate our forwards.

I have to agree with you there. He used to stop when the tackle was made and never made a bust. This year he seems to keep going when the tacklers hit him. Could that be down to the coach? Rhino was never one to take a backward step?

He's not unstoppable as you put it, huge yes !
I don't remember him smashing through our defence, he did his job with the ball that's all, but UNSTOPPABLE ???


Baz Smith smashed nobody last night, I remember distictly him getting butter fingers when running at Saeeeeeed and then traffic warden-ing him through when Saeeeeeed scored late on.


Some folks are getting a bit carried away, oh and none of you mentioned our former reserve Mark Barlow at centre.

That slope is truly horrendous and can make matches a tad farcical. I was trying to assess the steepness on the tellie last night ... just looking at the stretch from one end of the main stand to the other looks a 20 foot drop on it's own. I might be exaggerating but I bet the drop from end to end is 50 foot. Any anoraks out there who can enlighten us?
