That game really had an impact on our season, ruled a few players out with injury and suspension. Under Webster I dont think they are that type of team though.

I hope not Dave, that tackle on Shaul was an hour late, but at least the clubhouse beer was good. If I remember right Luke Brisco was playing for Fev and Gareth Hock.

I agree I think under Webster the rough house tactics won't be applied as they were under Duffy at the time.

Should be a cracking cup tie though and a real test as I think they will go very well this season.

Tricky tie after our last experience but can't complain for once!

There are some good teams now in the Championship as we saw at York.
Fev are a decent side but we still should be too strong for them
Time to use one or two of the fringe players

Just checked - we're both right. Josh Bowden, Carlos Tuimavave and Fetuli Talanoa all went off injured. Bowden got a serious knee injury and was out for the rest of the season, even missing the start of 2019. We went into the game already missing Sneyd, Kelly and Taylor.

We finished the game with nine men and only one fit player on the bench.

Hopefully a much less eventful win in a couple of weeks time.

Yes, brutal match last time round. Think the very late challenge on Shaul set the tone for the rest of the game after the ref completely ignored the incident..

Hopefully this will be a better game. We should have too much for Featherstone and it would be nice to get into the Quarter Finals, especially with one of Saints or Leeds out of the way.

Let’s have it
I love the CC

I think you’ll find it was a very early challenge. About two seconds before the ball arrived.

Taulapapa should have been sent off, or at least sin binned, but the game continued for another 20 minutes or so without any foul play or real niggle. It all kicked off after Buraimo's long-distance try, as he was touching down there was a heated exchange between Connor and one of the Fev players and that totally changed the atmosphere right from the restart.

Indeed, I seem to remember it was that early Taulapapa took Shaul out that the ball landed on the grounded after Shaul. Mickey Mouse was shocking as the official in that game and to say to Danny Houghton it was just a mistimed tackle was a joke.

I took my youngest to this cup tie, I remember saying at the time, a lot of games were like this before super league, he probably wondered why people kept going. Hopefully as others have said, a new coaching set up at Fev now in place, we shall see some fairer rugby played.

I think that's probably why people kept going for a bit of biff in a game, I know that's a part of the game I enjoyed the physicality. I think on the day there was nothing wrong with Featherstone playing a physical approach and trying to dominate us, unfortunately they just took it a little too far not helped by a very weak ref at the time who lost control.

I think if we want to watch the new Fev v Hull game in the cup, it’s on our league app, but all have to pay, members or not. Proceeds shared between both clubs, not official yet though.

Challenge cup draw is on tv at half time during the Catalan v Wakey tie on BBC. Let’s hope we’re still involved after our Fev game.

Wigan at home should we beat Featherstone.

Nailed on as one of the BBC double header should we beat Fev.

I was wrong to say "at home" of course - it'll be at a neutral ground as a double header.

You never know, The Shamallams might just allow us to play at KC, if we beat Fev and chosen as part of a double header. Saints had home advantage today

sod a double header at a neutral ground.we are at home,we should be playing at the kc.

Hull City are away that weekend so no reason for us not to be able to play at home.

what a disgrace.

Hardly a disgrace. It was always likely that the QFs would be two double headers.
