Looks like they are back in business.

Featherstone are copping a lot of stick for the tweet (below) that they put out today.


Featherstone Rovers are frustrated at the lack of communication regarding this weekend's match against @WidnesRL.

The club would like to assure supporters that they will be updated when there is any confirmation and the team is well prepared for the match.

Rightly so! A pointless and insensitive tweet.

On another insensitive matter, what do you reckon the chances are of Halifax picking at some bones and trying to pick up a player??

tangata touting for a job on twitter looks like

...or getting the two points from the opening match of the season which Widnes won with players they bought immoraly?

Hudd-Shay more chance of squirting your water uphill than the RFL making a decision of giving Fax the 2 points.

Or being awarded the Cup v Barrow for cheating

And the 100k...

Jesus H Arkwright this is funny...
Never to miss an opportunity for a swipe at fev for "insensitivity"... then on a public forum goes on tp talk about nicking some of their players..... and accusations of widnes cheating!!!!
Made me chuckle over my cornflakes this

Players all clammering for him to be brought back as well. No room for sentiment in this though. If Inu is fit we could certainly do with a centre though.

I see Fev will have a couple of their players coming your way.

No accusation, fact. BTW cornflakes? Surely croissants?

Fax in Asia, Bentleyman and BJ. Correct on all counts. It's disgraceful! Up The Fax!

Im in Lanzarote.... they cant do them as well!!

Pete.... day surgery in rovrum hospital for a haemerrhoidectomy beats a trip to widnes!

Robin, don't make me laugh! I've done my ribs in and it's agony! P.S. Fev are being linked with a couple of Widnes players. You must have sold a bit of that land. Lol! Three Pigeons, Horbury Ales JFB Helena 4.2% Mmm!

I think this is fantastic by the club. they could have easily dismissed him but no, they want to help him. Not having a go at Widnes but they give him a full time contract, he gets injured, they have money troubles and just drop him like a dead weight. Well done Fax, makes me proud to wear the Blue and White !

Looks good in the press but why even have that interview when Marshall admits himself he hasn't even talked to Tangata. I suppose in that sense he will fit right in with a lot of the young lads at the club.

"They have money troubles and just drop him like a dead weight" - who do you mean by "they" other than the administrators? Hard to see how that decision was in the hands of anyone actually connected with the club, the administrators' primary goal is to achieve the best results possible for the creditors and that's what they have done.

Have Widnes offered him training/rehab facilities whilst he gets back to fitness?

This is the point - who do you mean by "Widnes"? At the time he and the other two were told that they were no longer required, the club to all intents and purposes didn't exist other than in the hands of the administrators. Sunday's game against Fev is cash only because the new organisation doesn't even have a bank account yet.

The guy who has really left Tangata in the lurch had already made his escape from Widnes.

Fair play to Halifax for offering their facilities, although to be honest it's probably also a good pragmatic decision too given he is looking for a club and you'd think there aren't likely to be many full-time clubs willing to offer a contract to him given his current and recent injury status.

To me it's not about Widnes but about Halifax at least making the offer of support that they had no need to do, so good on Fax.

Whilst I admire the club for offering and it can't be nice what Adams gone through I don't get this love in with the player. It's not like we need forwards at the moment and he didn't really do anything last season when he played. Some fans need to move on, no wonder the club can't when some fans are stuck in the past. Can't say he set the world alight for us to justify this massive #bringhimhome malarky.

How about we sign a centre, they just let 2 go, or Craven, not a player cos he used to play for us and he's a good lad, base it on rugby and the team as a whole not a jobs for the boys basis.
