The pitch should be a BIT better this week so a few more points to be scored I think. I will go for a scoreline of Fax 22v12 Fev.

cautiously optimistic about this one and we have to win by +12 or we have a clown to feed..


Fax 26 Fev 12

Fax by 8

Fax 28 Fev 8. Our defence so far has been very solid and I think it will be again on Sunday

Fax 42v12 Rovers. (Mrs Hudd-Shay).

Richard Oastlar, Brighouse. Partners Tabatha 6.0 % Mmm!

Fev squad of 19 announced, 12 players out injured or unavailable (in the case of Maitua & Verlinden who still aren't here). Covering with four in the squad from Wakefield on dual reg. Plenty of the Fev players will be shaking hands with each other during the warm ups!

mighty fax 24 fev 16

10-9 to Fax

Four DR players? Shameful!
What's the point?

As long as it's not two points.

Fax by 20.

Pita Godinet and Joe Arundel are both in Wakefield's 19 man squad for tonight, so watch with interest whether they're selected.
Tom Johnstone will probably get a start for Rovers seen as Ben Blackmore has not been selected.
Kyle Trout is the other player, and he was playing for Whitehaven a couple of weeks ago!

Halifax RLFC 34 Featherstone Rovers 10

isn't there some kind of restriction on DR and loan players in a matchday squad? sure Fev have 3/4 loan players in that squad

Taken from the RFL website...
LOANS AND DUAL REGISTRATION: C1:2:10

LIMIT ON NUMBERS
A Club shall not include in any 19 man Match Squad nor play in any Match:

More than five Players who are on loan to it and/or dual registered to it (irrespective of which Club they are registered with); and

More than 4 Players who are dual registered to it

Looks like Trout could be playing against us every 2 weeks, nowt wrong with the DR system.

To be honest though the stupidity of allowing players to DR all over the place is mind boggling, if you DR to one team a season then fair enough but as it is now, well, brain fart.

Is there anyone left who agrees with this utter farce that is DR? Wakefield are DR'd with Fev and London, who are DR'd with Oxford and Skolars! Wakefield are a club likely to be in the middle eight along with Fev and London. That leaves the middle eights open to all sorts of corruption, fixing, cheating, call it what you want. And I thought we were watching sports clubs!

if you mean Baldwinson, Tonks, Minns & Foster think all four are contracted to Fev this season, not on loan.

cheers mate

but doesn't a season long loan still count?

Anyway, before the mods start, Fax by 10-14, who knows who will be buying the food at Leigh( if it's you John make sure you force feed Charlie some Yorkshire a Puddings).

You would think so. I cant find anywhere that mentions anything about the players signing 1 year contracts rather than loan deals, hell one of the players is telling people he is on loan for a season. I think if I were a Fax official I would be speaking to the RFL for clarification as all things point to Fev been over the limit.

I believe the 4 from Leeds are on 1 year contracts at Fev so do not count as the are actually our players As for the DR it's a joke whether it's 1 or 4 but I can see why Fev are doing it they are just following the other clubs ( Doncaster had 5 in against us ) All clubs in the Championship need to get together and agree not to do it

Anyway back to Sunday hope you don't win by think you will
