I'd be happy with win of any margin as long as Fax take the three points

i think some are getting carried away. this is equally a tough a test as bulls game imo. think well defend better but lose by 12

Without getting carried away i think we will see a much more enthusiastic fax however i think we will tire towards the end of the game. No doubt we did improve in attack against bradford but we didn't half put some tackles in. If you watch the game again we made a hell of a lot of tackles. I think that will have a effect on some bodies towards the back end of the game. Featherstone will get their tales up and i think it will be a close one.. Btw, Nobles been here less than a week, but i'm sure there will be some changes that he will of already rung around the training ground. i can't see much attacking change as we aren't too bad at that

How much impact will Noble have made in such a short space of time? I can't see it being enough to beat a very good side on their home pitch. I hope I am wrong

Man of the match Tonks

We showed the best and the worst of our game against Bradford. However, on watching it again, it is mostly simple and the same mistakes that we keep making. Whilst Noble has no had much time, I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes can eradicate much of the easy stuff quickly - perhaps not so quickly to beat a very good team like Featherstone, but who knows.

I think one of the major problems we have is the constant changing around of players at half back and hooker. It must disrupt the team massively when the key players making the calls are never the same for more than 15 mins. It is a complete waste of a substitute having both a half back and a hooker on the bench, particularly when Beswick can play half back if necessary. I'd start with Black and Jones at half back and Bob at hooker with Penky on the bench. Whilst Penky has been our stand out player, I think bringing him on after 15 mins with Aizue makes him really effective. As such, bring Penky on after 15 minutes and then leave him to play the rest of the match. Bob should then operate at loose forward, with Sam moving into the second row.

Might as well go for a fax win - Fev 22 Halifax 34
