He's been shown the door at Rovers. seem a bit harsh, I thought he was doing a good job for Fev.

Hadn't seen the remarks on the other thread.

Thanks for that Fev. We have to beat KR now!

John Duffy left Swinton. POR bound?

Yup

Happy?

Of the names being suggested.... yes. He'd be my preferred candidate.
Wouldn't have minded little Robbie as assistant player/coach

HKR on a two year contract apparently.

That's Danny Mc

I am happy with the change. For outsiders looking in it would seem that Jon has been doing a good job. But in my opinion he hasn't. He's underachieved, we should have sown up a top 2 position weeks ago. Rugby has been terrible, team selections very odd at times.

Hope John Duffy gets em firing on Saturday....

Owt will be an improvement on Sunday

Aye, I stand corrected.

Fingers crossed then, never thought I'd be saying this but up the Rovers.

Thought you played well keeping the mighty Fax to 20..

I think its disgusting the way your club have treated JS. He got you into top 4 last season at the expense of Halifax and Bradford. He got you into top 4 this season , which was to be more expected but still achieved it. Good cup run. I cant comment on your style of play but its about results.

Hope players perform on Saturday for new coach.

Surprised that this happened TBH - he was doing a good job , 2nd successive season in the top 4 - Fev have been solid all season and improved on 2016 - can't be a decision based on team performance - must be something going on behind closed doors?

There's always more to it.
I'm not making comments other than the obvious.... cos there's no need to. It's the Duffy era now.... we move on.

I think some Fev fans have been very harsh on Sharp, even in the way they reacted to us beating them on Sunday in a game that meant much more to Fax then Fev. I think they have played far better this year than last (I honestly believe they were a fortunate to get in the top 4 last year and was more to do with how badly some other teams played including Fax). And to improve on last year without adding a load of new players and with a part time team for me is down to how he has got the best out of them.

Sounds like other things going on; I would like to think there will be a reaction from the players on Saturday which might do us a favour (PLEASE!), but I can see the opposite happening especially as there were also quite a few battered and bruised bodies at the end of Sunday’s game.

Only way to look at it.

Duffy could be a bit of a gamble but he is a good young coach who will be desperate to succeed and everyone knows how good a job he has done at Swinton.

One thing about former half backs coaching is the Fev attack should come to life.

I think Mark Campbell and his bank balance would question that we didn't add a load of new players - Ulugia, Mariano, Moore, Walton, Knowles, and Carlile were all added this year and they're all players that plenty of other Championship clubs would have wanted.

Pity for you that HKR snapped up the halfback you would probably have got with Duffy.

If he had only paid the going rate for those players then I guess it might have been ok but as it stands with 1 game left Fev are the best part time team in the comp so other than that im not sure what Campbell is expecting. If Fev were to finish behind a Fax team on probably half their budget then its time to start asking questions......

Come Saturday evening we will all know how the new Fev coach has been initially accepted. Well done to Duffy on a makeshift budget for his work at Swinton. I really enjoyed watching their fluid attacking structures.
