You wouldn't have thought that reading this forum before the game, I won't dig up the match thread to embarrass you too much but I seem to recall you all being VERY confident and ending up with a severe amount of egg on your faces! And Barlow's two fingered salute rounded it all off!

Now now. Everyone knows that was a friendly wave.

Old news, move on ESO...you were easily the best team that day and the tonking was well deserved but im sure there isnt a Fax fan who cares right now.

Its a bizarre scoreline, how many times can you score 40 points and still lose? Especially by a 20pt margin

Remember our game there a few years back, finished something like 78-38, difference there was that was the last regular season game and playoff places were cemented, nothing to play for.

Can't help but think Fev may, uncharacteristically taken an eye off the main game and be looking ahead to the Cas fixture next week, but with Cas's record in the Cup the past few years (Golden Point victory against us and knocked out by Barrow) Fev really do have a good chance

Very similar to our game a couple of weeks ago.

I look forward to the return leg, although it will be the only game I miss this season unfortunately.

I think you could be right. A big game that everyone wants to play in so might not commit to the tackle as much for fear of getting injured maybe?

The scoreline reminds me of the 64-40 (I think) win at Fev a few years ago. As I walked out a Fev fan in a car winded his window down and said "I wish we could afford to bribe a ref". Strange that he didn't think that his team's defending might have been a major factor in the result.

How times have changed for them now ! Where do they find the money for Crookesy ? Players all signed in well before that they must have been up to their budget & cap limits.

Nah - we were just !




poop??? I love this swear filter.



We were poop that begins with SH....and rhymes with kyte!!

Not costing the club a penny. His wages being paid for out of the sports releif grant we got a couple of months back!!
Agreed about the cap - we an't be far of it now.

Sports Relief ? I must stop chipping in to that charity.

They're sending Clare Balding all the way out to Featherstone to do a piece on the deprivation that exists there. Hopefully the horrific pictures will pull on the heartstrings of the British public.

I hope these pictures are aired post watershed. Kids will have nightmares!

Wan't to know why it's called the Steal City?
Check your back pocket!"

Naughty

It was 44-64 that one, a weird game but it was the end of the season and both clubs had nothing to play for, unlike the Fev v Sheffield match. Still surprised even with the Cas cup game looming for Fev.

lets hope fev are more focused this week and beat cas.

Cheers, lets hope so! Freak of a game, but very enjoyable in a weird way. Only seen a few games like this in the past.

The start of the league campaign is pretty exciting, with you guys unbeaten, but we've seen close results & shock results.

Whoever wins this years campaign has really earned it.

Good luck this weekend.

and then there was another day!!

Very well done, some of us have posted on your forum with our congratulations.
Swifty did also but one of your posters took it the wrong way.
It was a joke, (I think)
Well done,
I see another championship side nearly beat St Helens.

yes, he certainly took it wrong.
but with 5 SL sides going out this round i can see the day when that will not be allowed and seeding will be used.,

great result for Fev today and to be honest i thought they would be well beaten. The Championship is alive and well and better than super dooper land!
