With selection of the final 17 for Wembley up for grabs and having watched the Sheffield game back im sticking my head on the block and saying we beat fev in a close game . A backs to the wall performance will be required but we will ride it out and win .

Fev by plenty an no player will have any influence over the likely 17 for Wembley unless getting injured. This season though when we seem so unlikley to beat Fev compared to other years we might just win.

Even without the brain explosions we have shipped in far too many points against teams nowhere near as strong as Fev so everything tells me Rovers by a good few apart from there playing Fax who are so unpredictable even mystic meg has no idea on what to expect from us.

But we already have.

Whatever happens on Sunday i do hope Inman gets into the Wembley 17...just hope he stays with us next year..we'd have probably lost him but for the coach change.

The only possible reason, logically, I can think of for tipping us to win this one is the law of averages....

Mmm? I'm wondering if you've had a few strong 'uns in't Dusty. Lol!

Found a new place called zapata brewing between slaithwaite and marsden , loved it .Lol

For once I agree Hudds.





Though someone else said.

Quote "But we already have."

I've heard good things about that, i need to pay a visit.

I've heard Simon Grix is going to be he new landlord.

When we played Fev earlier in the season i did say if we could get some sort of parity up front we would have a good chance against them. As for now it is hard to see us winning this one for all the reason already mentioned having said that we could really do with the 2 points to try and stay in the top 6 which is very important for the clubs finances.

Really enjoyed it , good selection of beers , great atmosphere, different 3rd part vendors for food , big outdoor area next to the canal .

Apparently they’re not opening the north stand for the featherstone game and they’re putting them in the south stand . Not a good idea imo, late kick off Sunday drinking , could be a recipe for disaster.

Probably not expecting a lot to travel and might not be worth the expense of opening the North Stand.

Well by the looks of it there’ll be even less travelling from our home town so the money they’ve saved on not opening the north stand will be lost in less ticket sales .

Should have put them in the away part of the East stand only-like Town do when theres less than 600-solves both problems.

I'm sure that has been done before at a Featherstone game.

Do not see the issue lets be fair will not be many with it been on tv had we been pushing top 3 then would be different

Seeing we all want the best for the club we’ll all stay away and moan then and leave it to others and either blame them for the club going into decline or wait until they get us to where we are winning every game, then come back and pretend we’re real supporters.

Coach and ground sorted...let's move on to new recruits now....

Ahem , clears the throat and has another beer .

That reminded me of why I keep coming back - absolutely magnificent performance from every single player, against a big team who once they realised they couldn't bully Fax into defeat seemed to have no plan B. Yes there were still a couple of daft mistakes in there, but generally their determination, especially in the second half limited the damage. For the first time this season felt every player really played to their best- Pickersgill was fantastic defensively, Lannon ,especially that one run played like a man possessed, and really pleased to see Maizen showing the form he was bought for. All the forwards did well to stand up to a huge pack - get AOB signed up now, he made a huge difference both in attack and defence. My MOM though was JWH - everything he did was absolutely class, including some great defence. Seems wrong to finish on a negative but Leilua must be the biggest, overpaid and overrated player in the championship - typical to seem him scuttle down the tunnel at the end, without acknowledging the opposition or his own fans.

Great team performance and I hope we really carry that into next week. Woody was the stand out player and bar Jouffret everyone had a great game. On any other day the mistakes by Jouffret would have cost us the match.

Where did that come from? I still stand by what I said at the beginning of the season and I truly believe we are the second best team in the league and could really give Fev a run for thier money in the playoffs but our form has been so all over the place then we come up with a performance like that. Fev are just used to out muscling teams but if you can stick with them and are able to play a bit of rugby like we can then you will have a chance against them. Really nice to see Grix all smiles in the after game interviews as well. Play rugby like that next week and it will make for a great game to watch on the Wembley pitch.
