Without getting too involved in the should we shouldn't we go to Fev, I didn't go last season but the decision was taken out of my hands as I was away both times we played there but yesterday I decided to go. And I'm glad I did. Aside from the result, there was a good atmosphere. Fev have taken steps to ensure we can go and have a good day with a good atmosphere. Segregation isn't ideal but this season we have played each other twice and both games have passed without incidents. Steps in the right direction. If this continues we will get to a point where both sets of supporters can mix again. Until then, my opinion is we work with both clubs to keep progressing.

He certainly caused Fev problems, but unfortunately that was when he was playing for us! Calling Robert Hicks a "******* cheat" (even though there was some truth in the accusation) and getting sent off for his pains didn't help matters.

To the Fev supporters that have posted on here can I say well done and thanks for being gracious in defeat. Reading through the comments you have given Fax credit for the performance but not ripped your team to bits which is usually a normal reaction. Excuses haven't been made, you've accepted the result and given how big a game this is for both teams I have a lot of respect for you for it.

Second time that theyve conceded 60 at home in a row too. think they miss tonks in defence this year and maybe morrison too

You need someone in the team who is going to boss the play, Handforth does that and Bowman wouldnt. He could be heard yesterday shouting to Penky to get back to the gameplan, everyone is calling for the ball, stick to the gameplan. Every team needs that player.

I agree 100% with that. Last time I visited POR was an unpleasant experience and a number of my friends swore that they would never go again. I decided to give it another go and tried to talk my friends into it, to no avail apart from 1.
I have to say that yesterday was a totally different experience and I didn't even feel mildly uncomfortable. I will be passing this viewpoint onto my stayaway mates.

I should mention that the Dave Singer incident has never been a factor with me as major finals always attract band wagon supporters and I can't hold Featherstone Rovers responsible for the actions of some sub-human cowardly scrote who possibly attached himself to the club for the day.

Most of us just say it as it is, i rated Divorty and didnt want him to leave and he ripped us to bits yesterday, running some great angles and i must take my cap off to Worrincy we gave him some stick yesterday, he took it, then went the length of the field so you cant begrudge him his bit of showboating. Im hoping Rovers are mentally and physically exhausted from the cup run surely they cant go from beating Cas to running Wigan close to utter shiiiiiite in the space of 3 weeks. What i do know is the next game between the 2 teams will be very interesting

hope so, got a bit boring running all those tries in with total ease..



Batley (a) for you boys is a big one.

I would make the most of it because i would be very surprised if it happens again this season.
Batley is a big, big game now, no cup fatigue excuses for them this week

One of the best performances ive seen in the last few years, played the conditions perfectly, and even when we went one score down you could see the players had a steel about them and it wasnt going to knock them off a game plan.
Every one of them put in a shift and deserved a post match pint or two



p.s. did anyone else hear the 'Its Ashall, t*at him' comment, then duly missed him.. made me chuckle.

Didn't you all say that after the Sheffield game?
