Leigh v Fev will have just kicked off. Blimey if the weather is like it is here it won't be much fun.
Who do we want to win? Would a draw be best for us?
Sunday Keighley v Batley, weather forecast better, strange kickoff time for a Sunday.
Who do we want to win?
Probably Keighley?

I'll go for Leigh, York, Swinton and Batley wins this weekend. Leigh are 6 up apparently. www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... v-updates/

if Fev win tonight and we beat them next week itwould give us a bit
of breathing space.

A'h but if Leigh win? and then their game in hand we still have to play them away.

Sheffield 12 - 4 York
Leigh 6 - 10 Fev

Half time, from what I can gather...

I suppose a Fev win would be better for us as that would put them 1 point behind us, but if Leigh win, then as I said they will be level on points if they win their game in hand.



Complicated ot what?

Fev pulling away 16-6.

So, at the moment, Leigh on a bonus point?
:

They are so we could ideally do with Fev grabbing another.

And then Leigh decide to come right back into it, 16-10... draw would do us orite.

Full time
Leigh 16-22 Fev
Sheffield 44-10 York

RESULTS

Leigh 16-22 Featherstone
Sheffield 44-10 York

sorry to disappoint folks...

Good result for us as i feel Leigh are the team closest to us this season.



Once we put Fev to the sword on Thursday we will be looking good.

Absolutely couldn't agree more

Count, Chickens, Hatch. Springs to mind. Fev will be up for it, they are a very good side. If we lose they go top and we still have to play Leigh away.
Only my opinion!

They really should add a tongue in cheek Smilie shouldnt they.

fev after a slow start just starting to hit form now, at the right time

. think the leigh game was the tough one and fev come away with a good win. after seeing fax the other night think rovers will win on thu more comfortably by at least 12 points, fev still the best team in this league by far

After seeing us smash you at PO Road im expecting more of the same. We were probably saving ourselves for this one on Thursday.

Conceded 60 points at home to Sheffield and Halifax!!! Best team by far???? Seriously???

Fev going to Leigh and getting the result shows Rovers are still the team to beat and are playing some quality rugby at the moment.
Leigh will bounce back and be there or there abouts when the dust settles.
Fax, well if they play like they did the other night it will be Fev by 112 points on Thursday.

well we'll see! Maybe we are, maybe we're not. Time will tell - eventually!

Last year we were by far the best team in the comp. We are currently playing football akin to the back end of last year.
Naturally, [some Fax fans are more or less focussing on the two heavy losses we've had (given by the number of references to them on this forum)! Of course, that's ok by be. Why wouldn't it be?
I can't for the life of me explain our form at that time. Perhaps it was the heavy pitches, the intergration of newer players in the team, the distraction of the cup run etc - perhaps it was none of those things. But the two 60 points games were wholly uncharacteristic of fev - before and after that period.
I only hope Karl emulates what APPEARS to be the majority of Fax fans and believes that Fev are the team from 'thiose few weeks' and that another 60 points hammering of Fev is a certainty!!

Best team by far?? Dunno. We'll see eh?

Agreed, good post. You may or may not be the best team in this league but "by far"? Definitely not.
I also agree with the comment about heavy pitches but the sunny Sunday afternoon at Post Office Road when Halifax ran in 60 points was an absolute scorcher. We constantly say Halifax are still waiting for thd good weather and firm grounds so we can show what we are capable of but we are halfway thru the season and can't wait much longer.

Personally I think this season is the closest one for a long time. Halifax, Fev and Leigh are the best teams but have been made to work hard, at times, by everyone else. I just hope Thursday night isn't a thrashing be that win or lose.

Can't wait for the big game Thursday as isaid this week the next three games are massive for us we got over the first hurdle and yours is the second As Fax are at home I think you have the advantage but as you showed us at our place it doesn't always work like that
Who ever loses its not the end of the world so lets hope for a good close game and the best team on the night wins
