That was a real battle, but we dug deep and ground out a huge win against a side that has always given us trouble

Batley came with a clear plan—to disrupt, niggle, and drag us into a scrap, with Manning and Brown leading the charge—but we kept our composure and didn’t let them dictate the game

A stronger referee might have stepped in earlier to prevent things from boiling over, especially with the ugly scenes at the end, but credit to the lads for staying focused. 

I felt we made metres with ease, showing our dominance in the middle, and handled the tough conditions well—especially going up the slope in the second half

Batley came out firing after the break, throwing everything at us, but our defensive effort was immense, even when we went a man down

It wasn’t pretty at times, but we showed resilience, stuck to our game, and got the job done.

A massive win against a really tough opponent, and most importantly, we’re in the hat for the next round!

Seen the replays from two different angles of the melee, will be interesting to see how many points Manning gets and how many Holmes gets. 

Holmes may have thrown one punch but I lost count how many Manning threw. 

The ref won’t be at fault in RFL eyes even though the penalty was 10 to 1 at one point. 

When do the charges get announced?

You've done better than me mate

I've tried to work out who's starting what in various clips and can't make much out

I did see the seemingly uppercut from Manning though

Bit more than biff if you're upper cutting.

Depends on what videos we've all seen.  Presumably the disciplinary committee will watch this from multiple angles in order to get a complete picture?  From my place in the stand on the touchline I saw Manning grab Blake and hit him in the head about three times before he instinctively kicked out to get him off.  That's when Holmes flew in.  They have a wrestle with Manning throwing at least one uppercut and Holmes also striking out but not sure whether he had a clenched fist.     The rest of the players were flying in to play the usual handbags by the looks of it.
