Without being too unkind I hope their injury hoodoo continues until after our game … at strength they have a pretty decent team…
Also (and I’m preparing to duck now) has Batchelor been confirmed as a HKR player for 23 yet?? They are announcing some decent NRL talent and when I listened to the Humberside commentary of our away defeat a few weeks ago almost every other comment was about James Batchelor playing his new team mates…
Considering Batchelors performances and the fact we haven’t announced a new deal I’d say it’s looking more likely that he has gone. It’s not been announced though so we can hold some hope that’s not the case. This could be Pitts last year and Batchelor would finally have his opportunity to be our starting right second row so would be a shame if he wasn’t here next season.
I don’t know why after Batchelor was excellent at Cas in the right SR he was moved back to the middle again. Batch plays well in the middle but has always been a edge second row all his career as can be seen Cas game. Can’t see why we just don’t play him there. Seems to be some obsession with turning players into middles i.e. Pitts and now Batchelor.
