And bench 4 from Hatton,field,walker,newboy and Fleming, but tilleke has been brought back from Rochdale so maybe he will be on bench
Wonder what starting 17 will be - doubt both roberts and Gilmore will be in, hopefully Gilmore really is fit and will start, then is Owens back to fb ? Centres then become interesting
I would go Owens,ince,edge,eckersley,Dixon,craven,Gilmore, amor,fozard,farnworth,Lawton, Wilde,johnstone
I'm a Fleming fan at FB and would play him before Owens. Kear. though, will select Owens.
Unless Gilmore is 100% fit I'd leave him out this game as his "old mates" doubtless will be targeting him.
Field before Johnstone at LF please, with Jones, Hatton, Walker and Owens on the bench.
Results pretty decent for us in the sense that Toulouse, Sheffield and Bradford all lost.
Strongest looking 21 I've seen us name for a while, always a tough match at Batley but if we could nick a win, be good for us in terms of the table, especially with Featherstone coming next weekend.
Well well, Swinton's win wasn't the only unexpected victory this weekend.
Maybe that's a good sign for us and we will collect the 2 points tomorrow despite the hill.
Always a tough game at Batley but if we can get the win we will be firmly entrenched in the top six, four points ahead of the team in second and level on points with both Toulouse and Sheffield. Huge match for us. Game management on that pitch needs to be top drawer.
As suspected Gilly nowhere to be seen in team pick tonight. As we were really with Eckersley back and Amor back on bench with new lad and Roberts 18th man.
Let’s hope Tom has given the team all the low down on Batley 🤞

Oh well we lived in hope for Tom, but roberts must be fit if named as 18th man, so selection options for next week !
Batley missing a few then, could be good for us
Great start then concede against run of play 0-6
Craven off injured already and Batley ghost through our line for that try… (sigh) 🙄
Craven off injured after 5 minutes
Penalty 8-0
