Featherstone Rovers v Widnes Vikings 6pm
NRC Pool 1 Match
Ref M Thomason TJ J Callaghan TJ D Butler RR A Gill MC S Cross

Should be a tough match. Fairly difficult to gauge how this one will go. With Coyle in as scrum half and Gerrard as the other alternative I think we may struggle for that cutting edge but at least we are starting this competition with a reliable points kicker.
The heart rules the head on this one...

I'm going for Fev 22 - Widnes 26

Pickersgill and Dave Allen should be back so that will give us more options, even Scully might get a run so the pack is rock solid at the min. Fev are a tough side but i think we can win.

Difficult to call. We have Morrisson, Divorty and Haley out. Williams comes in on a DR.
We're obviously short of heavy artillery and that leaves us vulnerable. However, with 3 out and losing 2 more in the match (on for almost all the game, t'other for the whole of the 2nd half) - we came away from Barrow with a proper backs to the wall rearguard win last week. [Fantastic game - a right advert for our league - proper quality blood and snot rugby.
I feel that to beat widnes it will need every player to emulate last weeks performance again!

Anyone going tomorrow? i think ill make the trek up.

Fev win

I think we'll beat them actually, very close last year we are stronger there missing Briggs and a few big forwards. Think we are getting noticeably better by the week in
all departments. Are 1st BIG test so should be a cracker. Real though game but we need to show we mean business this season.

Widnes 28 - Fev 16
Mom: Kavanagh

I'm planning to make the trip. First away game of the season for me.

12:08 train from Widnes - Picadilly - Leeds 14:08 fee beers then over to Fev



Only the 4 trains and longer to get too then London Skolars but oh happy days

it'll be reight!

Going straight there from the DW stadium. Could do with J20 getting the kick off delayed so we don't miss much.

I think it will be a fev win, but probably not by many. Personally I still think we are a bit light up front - at the moment, front row is basically same as last year but with Gannon and Haggerty missing and Varkulis added. Also we now have Coyle at scrum half instead of Webbo. From last year we are stronger in some areas but weaker in others. Think we'll be a lot stronger if/when Haggerty and Sculthorpe get fit.

Can't disagree that Haggy & Sculthorpe will add some beef but Varks is pulling up stumps in the front row for me at the minute. Considering he's a centre he's not doing so bad as a prop.

Maybe I'm a pessamist but I think we could get a bit of a pasting. Our defence has been poor so far and Fev will be able to exploit that far better than Rochdale, Skolers and Toulouse did. Also, our fitness got us through in the second halves in the home games and I'm sure Fev will be better in that department than our opposition so far.

Ah well, hope springs eternal and I'm looking forward to it anyway! Just hope I get home a bit quicker than the last trip up there....

Being a Leyther and wishing you all the best for your game, I was wondering if there is a radio channel that will be broadcasting your game?

There's a link but no noise and by the score at HT I would think there would be some noise from you lot. Well maybe a hum.

18-0 up now

Held on by the skin of our teeth!!

16 -22

Not bad Vic not bad!

Good win at their place and a springboard for the rest of the season.I,Anson,Scully and Gaz Haggerty when fit, will add more spice to the team.



Wonder if Fax and others still think we are crap?

Love beating any Yorkshire puddings.

Well played Widnes!

Played the conditions and game tremendous for 69 minutes then played you'd never ever played the game before for the last 11 - however those last 11 minutes paper over a lot of cracks for us

I would be a bit worried by how badly you caved in once we got our first try, if it had happened 10 mins previously it might have been different but overall we were terrible and didnt deserve anything from the game

Maybe we will get a chance for revenge in another round.

Special mention to your fans, like the players turned up for 69 minutes then were a bit quiet for the last 11, plenty of you there though who sang their hearts out

Good win Smellies.
