Should be a decent game on Thursday night. Anyone making the trip up the hill to Mount Pleasant?

Fancy the Eagles to sneak a win, they should be wanting to get the Fax game out of their system.

I'll be there, looking forward to it, hoping we can continue our good run of results against the Bulldogs. We go 2nd if we win on Thursday, that should be enough incentive to put Friday's result behind us and crack on with the league.

You said we'd beat Halifax so I'm happy with that prediction.

Only go second if we win by enough. We haven't lost in the league to Batley since NFP days. The run's got to end sometime but not on Thursday, I think. But I reckon we'll not win by a huge amount.

I think we'll win the half when we're going downhill.

Personally, I think people underestimate the difficulties of defending uphill. It's very tiring making those little shuttle runs.

Correct but the fact remains more points are scored downhill every game, or at least 90% of the time. Same conversation every time we play there, boring.
