We can't blame the weather anyway, providing it stays like this.

Is Hendo going to commentate and play at the same time?

Why not ? The ref's wired up.

Not correctly, some would argue!

tim2 thinks that people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person are poor score predictors!

Well done and what a welcome home after a particularly long and tedious meeting.

Unbelievable second half performance. No penalties conceded and that's what won it us. We stuck in there brilliantly, because we didn't score until 17 minutes into the second half, but once the ball was rolling we were unstoppable.

The forwards were outstanding for me tonight, I know Dom got MoM on Premier Sports but I would've given it to Stringer or Knowles, thought they were outstanding.

I've written the match report but the website is down so it will be online ASAP!

Edit: Just watched John Kear's post match interview, hilarious! Proper crying.

In some ways I'm glad I couldn't make it tonight - I probably would've been ejected during the 1st half, as some of the Eagles defending was making me swear like a trooper!

More than made up for it in the 2nd half though Felt like hiding behind the sofa at times though.

Great advert for Championship Rugby League - I could understand if some of the Batley fans felt a bit aggrieved after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Missing out on the Cup Final could be quite a blessing in disguise - have a breather, get a few broken bodies back, then if we beat Keighley we're in with a good shout of making the top four.

Well done to all of you who went tonight - could hear the singing & drumming.
