Below taken from the RFL website:-

Sam Hopkins - Leigh Featherstone v Leigh - Championship Range of Recommended Sanctions in relation to Charged Grade* : 1-2. Early Guilty Plea Offered and Accepted. 1 Match Suspension Details of Charge / Reason for NF : Rule – 15.1(a) Detail – Strikes – Head Butting – makes light contact Grade – B Decision: Charge Incident: Head Butt in the 35th minute (Thackeray)

So I assume the ban will be enforced this weekend, as it has effectively been dealt with.

Its bank holiday Monday.The ban will only be enforced after that.

Edit: The EPG must have been in before Thursday.

He is missing the Oldham game. So available tomorrow

Ridy is excellent & Reynolds has been playing very well and is developing a brilliant partnership but he'll also need to develop that partnership with Rangi who had a good first game back. Would like to see how Rangi & Reynolds get on and play together.

Think it'll be a very different game to the one at Mount Pleasant (despite the similar weather conditions). Again though the score will depend on if we play for the full 80 min, will be close if we don't but if we play to our best we could win big.

Here's hoping the wet afternoon doesn't spoil the match. I wish I was going...

Good luck, Leythers.

Similar squad to last week - Jukesy got a difficult job to finalise his 17. Reymolds very unfortunate if he does not make the 17 -
Chase had a solid game last week - but Reynolds and Riddy IMO have been formidable.

Reynolds & Paterson miss out

Well we played for 10/15 mins this week

Re: 19 man squad for Batley : Sun May 01, 2016 4:26 pm  

^^^Yep

Where to begin with that? Does this mean we are only 7 points better than when we last played them?

The only arguement you could make for that is Rangi going off (looks like hip, doubt we'll see him again) and therefore Mickey had to play yet another full match.

Some absolute brainfarts yet again. Higson trying to pass the ball on the 1st tackle on our 20 stands out. And after their forward pass we get head & feed on their 20 and yet they are the ones who end up scoring....

Another large lead blown too and this is against a Batley side that are in the middle of their own injury crisis and demoralised after a string of defeats.

Credit to them they played well, Lillycrop, their 8 and 20 and Lambrini stand out.

For us; Whiting, Acton, Hanson, Hoppy and Lee Smith.

But there just seems to be a massive lack of anything out there, some terrible defence, reckless passes and blind panic.

Looking at this weeks other results, Oldham will be a really tough ask and Swinton too and I do not see us beating London.

But a win is a win.

Re: 19 man squad for Batley : Sun May 01, 2016 4:31 pm  

Fully agreed, we are top of the table, but most games we look 'average' at best, but keep grinding out wins against part time opposition. Hopefully we'll stick with Riddy/Reynolds for the remaining games...

Re: 19 man squad for Batley : Sun May 01, 2016 5:07 pm  

Well in my considered opinion there was a distinct lack of organisation out their at times today as though they hadn't even trained together for weeks. On top of that while Batley were turning us on our backs in most tackles we just let them drop to their knees for a quick play the ball. More and more I am beginning to think that the task of SL could be beyond Jukes and Anderson.
