Quote: Encouraged "Fair enough fella. Just sour grapes from me last night to be honest - hugely frustrating to see a side with the talent we have continue to waste it. Some time ago now Calland released a brand of rugby on the rest of the Championship being a rotation of hookers creating uncontrollable, fast dummy half running and scooting rugby that killed teams and spawned the fateful 'country mile' comments......

Calland seems to have no back up plan since that fell flat - NO plan B. I fear he lacks the understanding of how a team should work as a unit which is beautifully and simply demonstrated by an excellent Fev side.

Good luck with however this pans out yet I am certain the end game belongs only to Fev who have been great this year.

I wish Powell was our coach - put it that way.

No more sour grapes from me........
I hope you get a few of your players back for Thursday i'd rather see 2000 fax fans than 8 sheffield fans in the final.

I personally think the score flattered us on Thursday, it was a much closer game than that up to 70 minutes.

The way you play made me think that this season would belong to you, scoring from anywhere, speedsters and good halfbacks, it's unfortunate that injuries and early season bad form gave you a mountain to climb but the the main thing is your not out of the competition yet so get behind your boys and book a place a warrington.

looking at your squad you seem to have real quality mixed in with utter poop, royston and Beswick for me are two of the best players o's SL but then theres Barlow.... a thug and nothing else, Bowman who pushes the boundaries of laying on and attempting to strip the ball as he gets up, Nash who is a liability and fat frank who should have retired 5 years ago, tamghart, who doesn't have the same effect as when he first came to the UK and Aizue who i thought was one of your best players the other night, but he has been sheite all season apparently...... i'm sure if he's still there MC will sort the wheat from the chaff by next season and we'll all be able to see who can finish second behind windies

Quote: Rotherham Fev Fan "If this is being dull never let me get excited again.
I've spoken to several people, not all fev fans about fev's season as a whole and thursday night in particular.
Dull is not a word that's being used to describe the efforts from Fev.

Exciting, unpredictable, unforseen, and at times subliminal are words that have been used. But not dull ironically enough.

I suppose that's your opinion GFB and I'm unlikely to change that. Fair enough like. C'est la vie.

I don't share your opinion, but likewise I'm assuming that you'll get through the day easily enough regardless of that!!!
my post you're referring to did not suggest Fev are dull.
They are one of the few teams in the league than can switch from plan A to B, not many teams are able to do this.

fair do's!

On a positive note - the last 2 years in this league I personally have found far from dull! I've found the competition to be one of the closest contested of the three and the rugby exciting and oft unpredictable to watch!
Batley winning with a minute to go in the NRC was a contender for the game of the decade was it not??

I love our league and all in it - well, I'd happily watch Widnes lose every week like, but that's just bitterness from too many 70's tonkings at Naughton Park!!!

I'll be in the 3 pigeons thursday evening. Big ginger bloke the size of a tree! I'd be happy to continue this over a jug!

Quote: wereutherein1987? "I am sure MC would love to revert to a plan B but if you only have the players to implement Plan A then how can you?

MCs brand of rugby is entertaining and good to watch it also get us results, unfortunately it's this brand or being dull, you can't do both in this league with the limited resources.'"


Well I think its pretty poor if a coach at this level,does not have a couple of different game plans and strategies, especially with the quality and experience Fax have been blessed with this past couple of years. How you play against Widnes is probably going to be slightly different to Leigh or Fev etc. You target a certain teams weakness and adjust your game plan accordingly. You use the interchange bench differently as well. Some teams you know you can bring in a youngster and try and blood him when there is not so much pressure. You would never try and debut a kid against Barrow, Fev or Widnes for example. If a Coach just basically has one way of playing then thats poor.

Fax coached by MC are great to watch and entertaining. However Calland cant coach his teams to defend or just build pressure first-they have to score at any given time. That is great to watch and I do enjoy the way we are. But I also am of the opinion that it will probably see us never win a trophy. You cant play against the best team this year or last that way. Throwing the ball about when it comes off is good and causes damage. However the loss of possession against a team like Barrow last year and Fev this is a killer. You can get away with it against many teams-but not teams who are strong in defence and are well coached. Fax have to decide what they want-a successful team winning trophies or a team that competes well but does not usually have the knowledge of how to win a trophy and adapt its tactics accordingly.

I would say very few teams in this League are dull. And most games are more entertaining than the SL ones whether it be Fev, Keighley, Widnes, Leigh or whoever playing. If you want dull watch Bradford, Huddersfield or Salford from SL.

as a TO13 regular I can't recall any 'negative' visiting teams this season - all,without exception have tried to play open & positive rugby - Toulouse have probably been the most frustrating because of their inconsistency

Quote: urbancarrot "Complete load of tripe!!!

Enjoy your win and gloat all you like but stop talking cr@p for the sake of it
Keep going for big hits and missing them then, just makes a boring side such as Featherstone's job much easier, its common sense that if you control the initial contact you are less likely to get injured icon_iamwithstupid.gif
