Pitch is going to be a nightmare after this rain. Not keen on our players potentially getting injuries.

Not due to stop raining either.

It's certainly a leveller is this weather.

It's March and it's going to be raining, so yes, it's going to be very muddy, as it has been in thousands of rugby league games for over 100 years. I'm sure players on both sides will roll their sleeves up and get on with the game.

Unless you're suggesting there is something intrinsically dangerous about the pitch, which I've never heard in over 50 years watching Fev?

I think you're more likely to get injuries on harder pitches.
From my experience the heavier pitches slow the game down and sometimes the unexpected happens.
Not today I hope.

It’s rugby league! Sun rain hail snow… that’s what we do!

If our pack, particularly the props get on top and we have a smart kicking game, we should win.

The kicking game is what worries me. Can’t remember the last time we had a good one. Perhaps Brough and Rooney. Jeffries maybe.

Anyway, today’s game will be a messy affair. Need to control the ball, limit mistakes and play at the right end of the pitch.

The worst thing about this game is the fact it will be energy sapping and we have a short turn round to face bulls in 5 days to open the season with a full house. Not idea at all.

Welcome to the forum Mr Lam.....

We have an advantage because we have played more competitive matches on this pitch this year than Featherstone. (I think).

Conditions will be an issue for both teams let’s not get like Leeds fans eh

Getting outplayed in every single department

I do hope we can tear up Lino’s contract. Thanks to whoever gave him an extra three years!

Think on that first half theres a few franco been shocking

Let's see how we handle the slope in the second half.
We need to be making ground like they were

Yes I was prepared to give the bloke a chance, but he is totally out of his depth.

He's not out of his depth.
He's played well in other games. Just not done it along with others today.
Griffin and Lino leaving him exposed for the tries.

And that is exactly why, he could have come in much closer, no one near him so he ran to the corner

however plays down hill should win , down to a coin toss

To be fair PT if we lose he has alot is down to him yes i can forget mistakes but he should of got closer to posts for his try

Lino. Come on. I really don't like his little shuffe pass. It never works.

Oh I see what you mean. Absolutely.

Lino is gash, he’s simply not good enough. His kicking game is poor and his taking on the line attempts are boardering on embarrassing. We were dominated in extra time, instead of getting into the grind of the game Lino tries pulling that pass off. Embarrassing tbh

Especially in those conditions, it should be put away and also at that stage of the game where we were in their 20 and shaping up to be in a good position. A crap end to a game of two halves and we started to look something like even in the crap conditions going downhill IMO we should have sealed it in normal time with the possession we had, I know the weather is a great leveller but still it was there for the taking.

Think Powell has made an error today. All our three hooker's played well but they are not big men and I think we should have just stuck with two. Plus a back on the bench who never figured. It was a day for stacking up with big blokes.Plus our wingers made no yardage whatsoever bringing the ball up, unlike theirs. We were basically out propped.

I'm trying to think what out-and-out Prop he could have brought in, think we had them all out unless you're thinking of Cozza and Bain if he'd have been fit enough to play today, instead of a Hooker and the back? It would have been a right welcome to British RL for him if he'd have played in that.

I have to say Vagana looked impressive when he came on. I think as the season moves on and he gets more minutes in him, he's gonna be a very good player for us.
