It is hard to see past a Featherstone win in this one. They are starting to pick up a few injuries but have a deep squad so are well covered on that front and i have just read that Riley dean will not be available for them this week but they will still have a strong team out . From our point of view i do think we have it in us to score points against them even on the backfoot but the problem we had last time out virtually every time they got near our line they scored because of there physical dominance up front there was plenty of opportunity for them to do that. Somehow we need to find a way to front up to them physically which is easier said then done with us having a smaller set of players. I just want to see us go there and put in a better effort then last time and the game not be over by halftime if we can take them to the latter part of the game that would be a big improvement.

Cheers! Even if it was through gritted teeth. icon_wink.gif

That's was a great win for Fax if for no other reason than it hopefully kick starts our season. As has been said the basis of that performance came on the back of a much improved display by our forwards, but the introduction of Tom Inman was pivotal as well. We must find a way of getting him more minutes on't pitch, he ups the tempo every time he comes on. For me Matty Gee was the MotM with Salty and Walmsley not far behind. Was Keyes fit?I'm not sure but we got the job done and can now build on this going forward. Up The Fax! King's Head shuddersfield. Magic Rock Ringmaster 3.9%Mmm! icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:

Now confirmed that King is leaving, sounds as though there were things going on in the background that influenced the decision and players performances to date. Looks like he may be going back to Whitehaven- sorry it didn't work out for him here - definitely feel we need to bolster the pack now.

By way of a contrast to Springer and King.

Both Walmsley and Jouffret joined from Whitehaven and after one game at Batley were left out.

They were told why, knuckled down and look where they are now.

That’s down to players attitude and coaching ability.

Someone who falls in between is Cory Aston that started well, dropped off and dropped out, came back in and contributed to winning us games but when he was told he would be behind JK and LJ at least had the decency to wait to the end of the season before he moved on.

Regardless of if your a forward, halve or back the same is asked of every player here, some will stand up and be counted, some will stand up and walk out and the club will take the former over the latter.

Watch this space for a potential replacement.

Totally agree. I made him my m.o.m .
Created one try and saved three. He is a pleasure to watch and has truly found the position that allows his talents to flourish.

Also enjoy deciding how many times he will be injured in each game and then rise like Lazarus to put someone away.

Was happy I was able to watch online at home. I have not been to P O Road since was herded into a corner of a stand. As if I was a violent hooligan! I used to enjoy the atmosphere there but they will never have my shilling again.
