Wahey.

Featherstone Chokers!

Just goes to show, when we made hard work of it at York we were all moaning and groaning.
Incidentally, if you look at the Toulouse thread you will see I predicted Fev to lose.

odd day...salford beat giants...widnes hammered warrington....good to see scores in champs one too. with hemel beating scolars.

Hmm I wonder if the usual Huddersfield mid season collapse is starting early this year ha ha

Daryl is spot on. York were simply outstanding today and at one point defended for dear life on their own goal line for 3 consecutive sets.

The attitude of the Featherstone players is debatable, why? I dread to think.

One of the best team performances I've seen in a long time. Well done York.

I think those are honourable comments Chris. I'm hearing quite a bit/reading about the Fev players' lack of enthusiasm at the moment. I was thinking that maybe the loss of Dickens in your pack was a seamless move but i wonder how much he's being missed for his drive & leadership in games like yesterday when it's tight.
The forwards clash between Fev & Fax is gonna be awesome if we maintain our form.

York on their own patch can be a tough nut to crack.
They are up for it, especially when they are playing against the so called better sides.
When we played them it could have easily gone the other way and there was nowt to choose from, I know I came away thinking we had done well to get the win.

I sometimes think as well that it does come down to player attitude.
Maybe some of the Fev lads did think all they had to do was turn up and in the end they would win.
The same will apply to Fax at Doncaster on Monday.

As we know if your not up for it you get out enthused, out tackled, out run and the game goes away from you and you can't get back in.
Pre season it happened to us at Dewsbury and almost happened to Fev there as well.

The loss of Dickens as a player and a leader will take some replacing, Tonks as well.
As good as the likes of England and Crossley etc can be I don't think than can completley fill the boots of Stu D and Tonka.

Happy man here, went for widnes, hull kr, wakefield and salford in an accumilator and a cheeky £8 bet.

Fev were terrible yesterday sure York played well but its the worst Rovers performance iv seen for a good 3 years
