score predictions

This will be a big test to where we are at in terms of competing for 2nd to 4th

Minus dual reg am going for fev 20 fax 24

Close game

Any one know anywhere in town showing the game for those who can not make it am still 50-50

No idea who will win this one but there will be plenty points on the scoreboard after 80 minutes.

Apart from the teams going head to head so are the coaches and it'll be interesting how the game plans work out.

Jon Sharp is one shrewd cookie and had our weaknesses worked out at the Shay.

Things have obviously moved on since then and as above a fascinating sideshow to see who comes out on top.

I haven't a clue as to the outcome of this one. Just glad it's not at The Shay! Sportsman, shudds. Wishbone Green Bullet 5.0% Mmm!

I believe it's being shown in Lewins

It's on Sky so should be on any pub that has a sports licence. Problem is that Man U are on at the same time.

Not sure that I can get to Fev so I may be watching it from the front room

Can't call it. Both teams in good nick. I don't get too excited about the cup these days but I'm lookin forrad to this one

I know what you are saying about the cup but I think that's because we know we haven't a cat in hells chance of winning it. That says a lot about the present set up of RL. It should be a great spectacle for the tv viewers though. Up The Fax!

I am actually more confident playing them away could go either way
Depending on stoppages/video Ref i will have to leave
before the end damn Busses !! so if there is a good Samaritan able to give me a lift to Wakefield to catch the 10-53 Train i would be grateful

Is mexborough any better?

not really Robin but thanks for the offer

Better than where Robin, Afghanistan?
Probably but it's a close call.

Hey...i live in rawmarsh.... mucky mecky is upmarket by comparison..

Well that was a giggle!

Aye

Never mind.

Let's focus on getting into the top 4 now!

Fev's 1st try?

Thought Fev deserved their win tonight. Ran harder and won the ruck area all night. We gave too many penalties away (again) and never built any sustained pressure in Fev's red zone in second half. Congratulations and as RM said after game we have to 'learn from that' and come back stronger as we get nearer to the business end of the league season.
Good rest now and let's get ready for some big league games coming up.

Cant say much more.

Not enough possession or field position.

Plenty of effort well done on that.

I watched on Tv and both 1st half tries looked borderline forward. But too many penalties

Fair comment but disappointing that we didn't win. The best side did, but that was only due to the fact that our attacking game was ineffective or non existent. We never looked like scoring a try when we went forward. Defence was great.

I thought the lads looked like they were playing with a weight on their shoulders and never looked to play an expansive game.

One that got away but we have bigger challenges ahead and now we can concentrate on the league.

UTF

Fax 1st try.
14 yo clynleish mmmmm

Fev's pack dominated for large parts of the game, they looked better all across the field to me with a number of strong performances, in contrast hard to pick a Fax player who stood out for more than just the odd moment.

We are still giving too many penalties in general defence and turning too much ball over when in possession, I bet the tackle count was for Fax went through the roof.

At one stage we had done 100 more tackles than Fev!!!!!

Best team won I was surprised we were still in it until their last try tbh. We put the effort in and tackled well but they also tackled well snuffing us out, how we need somebody to back up Muzza teams know all our kicks go through him whilst Fev had too kickers to out us under the cosh or relieve pressure not that we had much.
Hey ho they now have a potential big game against a SL team and a mid week league game to play, lets hope we can play better when we go there in the league.

Best team won, albeit we gave it everything and with a couple of breaks going our way it could have been a different result.

Fev were very disciplined throughout, which meant we had far more tackling to do, especially in our own half. Impressed with how Fax kept in the game, despite being under the cosh for long periods. A lot of other teams would have imploded and lost by a cricket score.

All credit to Fev. They deserved the win given the way they played, especially given they lost two players through injury.

Jonno showed just a glimmer of the spark we need with his try. Going forward, we're generally just too predictable, with the steamroller run by Ben Heaton being a highlight for us. Our general play with the ball is just not quick enough.

We had to tackle more due to mistakes and ill discipline . We allowed Fev to play the ball far quicker (too quick in my opinion). Fev slowed us down at the play the ball by getting more men into the tackle . Basically we allowed fev to dictate the play and control the game. We had little field possession to score any points. When we did get good field possession we scored tries.
On the balance of play fev was better team and cant really grumble at 1 or 2 decisions that went against us.
