Don't be such a soft ar3e ,Batley is a great place with gradely Yorkshire folk,though if I was called Maurice I would be wary.

Lol no mate I am a lot younger (sure Charlie won't mind me saying that) and drink like a fish, Charlie doesn't drink, any way are you meeting up with us for a pint when we play you I will buy the first pint and you will have a good laugh with us Leyther.

I intend meeting up with you , I have a bet with Charlie over who finishes highest in the League this coming season,and I want to meet him to confirm it,and also meet a few other Leighers, do you know Cokey?Although I call him Hokey or Salfordlad he sounds a bit of a pain.
Let me know where you will be , I want to meet a few Fax fans as well to put faces to names.

OK will do mate, we go in The George and Dagon for our home games if it's at Fax we will be there for lunch time. I don't know Cokey as yet but know Charlie and Salfordlad who are great guys.

I did think as I wrote it. However we don't seem to have any of the Lady Leythers on here, don't want to be giving them ideas, they have enough as it is!

Quote ="Dogsmarketteam"This weekends preview wp.me/p5zizl-8M'" Thanks for that. A couple of inaccuracies maybe - thanks for considerably under-stating the magnitude of our 'tatering at Warrington, and we don't have joint captains!

Even though you are a complete ar$e on these forums I enjoy Fax folk in general and our away days there - Batley I do not, must be the shrinking gene pool in the area and the chip on both shoulders carried by so many of the fans.

Tek Al sorts Maurice, tha knees a can't say thi name fer laff in, owd prater where's geet thi name frum?Thas an owd woman that's fer sure stop moaning, nowt wrung Wi Batley, a town this it's full o gradely Yorkshire folk.

Did you see this post of mine Mr Jagger?

Great town Batley with a fantastic coach in John Kear, He would of been a popular choice for head coach for the north standards

I don't think the ground at Batley will suit our style of play, we always seem to struggle at the Mount,I will be happy to come away with a win and feel it could be a tricky fixture for our team,after that our next 2 games are at home and it should give us a platform to build on before the Bradford and Fax games.

My team for Batley
Chase
Higson
Worthington
Armstrong
Kay
Ridyard
Brierley
Moi Moi
Beswick
Weston
Dixon
Hansen
Hock

Spencer
Higham
Hopkins
Reni M

Ian I will go along with your 17 , but I think Brierley should be full back and Rangi at 7, you can't have a racehorse running on the Central Beach at Blackpool, Rangi would be wasted at full back.

Is Cory Paterson not available?

As far as I know the players unavailable are McNally, Pala, Tonga and Barlow. I think everyone else is ok.

Based on the 20 minutes he had at full back for Salford, and his inability to catch any restarts against Wigan, I wouldn't have Rangi anywhere near FB. Kez or Pownall for me

I'm going to agree with you again Iggy, I also think that Rangi's off the cuff creativity would be wasted at FB.

Can't believe Charlie Caroli or DETROITSOUL have left out Patterson unless he is unavailable.

He is in for for Hock, Hock to bench and no Reni M

Then Pownall at Fb, Higham starting and Chase on bench with no Beswick.

Riddy and Ryan at Hb

I believe that Corey P is injured that's why I dint put him in my 17

LF you are correct, it was an oversight by me ,we have so many quality players I just forgot about Cory P,it is a few Seasons since we had a specialist 13 ,and I feel Cory will make us tick this year, we have to leave someone out, could Mickey H play the full 80 and give Bob Bs plCe to another player.When we have a fully fit squad it will be very hard to keep everyone happy.
