give credit to fev for coming back from 18-0 and credit to their fans.
although it worked last week i think the balance on the bench was wrong again.You need 2 props not 3 although perhaps without larder,roberts and royston calland was forced to play the bench he did.Also losing greenwood in the first minute was a massive blow.Bannister went well i thought but obviously smith,bowman and beswwick had to play the entire 80mins.They did look knackered at the end.penky and black both had quiet games but was that down to them just not clicking or fev forcing us to play a tight up the middle game that suited them and blunted our attacking game.

Can't argue with that, totally outplayed for an hour. Would struggle to pick a top 3 fax players. Said was awesome then who else.... no can't think.
Well done Fev. Credit where it's due. You saw the opportunity and hung on to it. Struggling to even pick fault with Ronnie Laughalott.

Its simple...play for 80 minutes...win the game!. Fev were never gonna just lie down. All credit to them, they deserved the victory and we must learn from the mistakes and the silly decisions. Fev shackled black well tonight and we fell asleep when we scored the 3rd try. Up until that point i felt we dominated their pack then they slowly started taking over............................Please dont anybody blame the ref tonight....he doesnt drop the ball etc.


=blueCome on FAX! Heads up and straight back at them.

Let's not get silly last week we were fantastic today we were superb for half an hour but couldn't.close it out against a good team watever happens we are still top come monday and I would rather have our team going into next week than widnes we will finish top and be in the gf let's give credit to fev they played as well as anyone against us this year

lmao.

Why do you only bring your fat head on here when we lose? What a pathetic troll. Thankfully though, our losses are rare ................ as are your childish visits to this site.

Hey we all have blips and look at my team widnes.

Too many blips and you only got beat by 2 points.This league difficult due to salary cap.All players are spread to all clubs.Hey you still be in grand final.

kicking the two was the wrong option. It had me clenching my fists and I knew then we would win.
We came back strong in the 2nd half and Harris helped to steady the ship. We'd scored off Fax's errors and got within touching distance. The penalty, kicked to the corner would have starved us of the ball and put some pressure on our line - our defence when under pressure looks fragile. At worst the clock would have run down.
When the tee was sent on I was ecstatic!! Fax wanted a breather and took the two not changing the outcome at all. A converted try wins it!!!! and so it prevailed.

To come back from 18-0 at the half is special, particularly after being on the receiving end of so much stick from the fans - "easy easy" etc.

A particularly pleasing evening. The two games v fax this year have been awesome. Loved em!

We've shot ourselves in the foot again. Another loss at HOME - the worse place to do this when trying to attract fans. We thrash Toulouse in front of 200 diehard fans and then cock it up in front of 2,000+ at home. It's one step forward and two steps back in this regard. Fax - get some momentum back for the playoffs !!!!

If we hadn't we would have lost 22-18 instead. The alarm bells started ringing for me at 18-10. Infact I was thinking at that stage we were easy second best but should be ok in getting a bonus point. We didn't look like scoring in a million years and Fev were making far more yards and played as tho' their lives depended on winning. Totally and utterly out-enthused us in that second half and deserved to win.

Obviously disappointed, but in this sport it shows if you're not pumped up for it you'll struggle, aka scouse helens against wakey last week.

Has the Bubble burst again?

Miles going off early didn't help but not professional enough in the 2nd half they wanted it more we went to sleep and didn't kill them off. Black and Penky had poor games and that is pivitol Gleese was standout again but needs players to do the same week in week out. Lets beat Widnes and gets this crap out of the way AGAIN and focus every game.

Not as many bubbles as you lot have burst. How many league matches have you lost? Is it seven? Eight tomorrow? Jog on bubbles

We'll see next week won't we ( we will win )

We have burst many bubbles this year and im sure a few more will come, once Cullen gets his players in next year the bubble machine will be in the bin.

Bubbling out.


Bubble burster

i thought Fax would have won by a 100 points.

That's where we need a Harris type player ... a player who's been there done it, is a great leader and sets a great example. Someone to steady the ship. At half backs we have an off the cuff talent who can be great on his day but can go walk about, and a hooker. Very good players in their own right but as I say we need an Harris.

You care more about us than Leigh, wish you were us ?(yep)

I've had the same signature block underneath My posts for months now and it was never more true than tonight.
We totally outclassed Fev for the first 20, and it was party time in the crowd for the fax fans. Everything was coming off and the movement was excellent.
When we came out in the second half, the team was unrecognizable. Fev didn't seem to play much differently but we looked flat and down. Heads dropped and nobody seemed able to raise them. Lots of hard tackling was put in by the players but it is so much better watching them playing with attacking flair and we never really looked capable of that in the second 40.

We have got to learn that it is an 80 minute game and we must learn to see every one of them out to achieve what we all know this team is capable of.

Well done Fev for not lying down after the initial onslaught. You got a result that you, in the end, deserved and a victory that Fax threw away.

Fev stepped up a gear and fax looked Knackered in the second half, apart from Said. I thought we were going hold on, but it was not to be. exciting though.

Oh, and a good game from the ref.

tactics wrong tonite i'm afraid. got away with it last week but can't expect to blow teams away every week by having all strike players on at same time. Gleeson, beswick and penky visibly knackered in second half and offered nothing in attack. Hope we don't do same next week. you need a ball player/dummy half on the bench, to rest others but also to shake it up a bit.

Sometimes I think MC's arrogance runs away with itself and his team selection today showed that again.

Plus doesn't help when 3 of your props do about 15 mins each, so everyone else, including the 2nd rowers were having to work overtime.

It wasn't lack of effort tonite, and we didn't make too many errors, although when we did we paid for them. just imo the game plan didn't work - no plan B for when Fev got a roll on.

agree tactics not work tonight, may have if greenwood not injured in first min.
but for the last 60 mins never looked like scoring.

Halkifax are fast becoming the most dis-liked team in the league, arrogance seems to flow through the club. From the MP who said you should be in super league to your coach (whats his name) who came out with the country mile crap. For 40 mins we had to listen to a load of mocking abuse off your fans, you sang to us "your just a small town in sharlston" "who are you" and the old favourite easy easy, we listend to this arrogance for 40 mins and when we won at the end we gave you it back big time. Your fans are getting very much like Cas fans they give lesser teams fans a nightmare, all gathering at the back of the stand together for safety singing obsenaties, but today you played the ROVERS we are not York, Hunslet, Sheffield, Gateshead we are the famous Featherstone Rovers with the best following in RL, yoju will do well to remember this in the future.
PS: if were a small town in sharlston and we smashed you, what does that say about you?

get over it you won, woohoo enjoy, or maybe not come on here and spout off

Who is the one is an arrogant idiot with no respect? Gateshead and Sheffield maybe do not have a big fan base but they have a small hardcore who follow them everywhere. They also have a good team that are very tough to beat. Fev ALWAYS struggle against Sheffield. Now sod off back to your own board. Fans of other clubs are always welcome on here but when they are full of such crap like you then frankly you are not welcome . Well played Fev

rovers was just euphoric after last nights win and having some daft lad in his face telling him how sheeite fev were at half time and that fax were the poodles swingers!
Rovers will have had his anti psychotic medication and will be stable today. Well as stable as he can get.
Win or lose, i can't believe some fax fans saying they're not going to watch fax or go to widnes cos they lost last night!! What's all that about.
And tho its a minority, the odd one or two blaming the ref?? He's a numpty but he didn't spoil the game.
The two games v fev this season have been as good as you get and were the best value for money in sport you can get! 2 great games which were a credit to the championship. Fantastic entertainment.
