Mr Fetherstone....Stuart Dickens with 15 years at the club. No arguments so far

....it would be the biggest day of his life....Forget those Championship Grand Finals....

Happy to be wrong to those that feel different, but winning a game in a competition that they've got no realistic chance of winning V's winning the top trophy at their level? Wigan would be a great scalp and a great grandkids tale but finals, trophy's and team celebrations got to win surely??

Winning those Grand Finals and getting promotion would have been even better but hey!
And apparently this will all help with their Dooper League bid - my butt.

They actually called him Dickinson during the commentary LOL. Talking of Dickens & butts, another little beauty tonight Stu you legend.....

Worst officiating of a game for a long time both on and off the field.. Fev "laser in ya eyes" Rovers didn't score a legal try all night.

I saw the lazer too ,as the wigan player was about to kick at goal then it moved to the ref.Hope that`s not going to catch on.

it appears the offender was turfed out of the ground - by the rovers fans stood by him!!!

That aside it was a fabulous night enjoyed by both sets of fans. We had a right go at them and ruffled their feathers at one bit. Fev had a right crack at them and if fax had played as well against one of the best teams in the country and cup holders, I would have applauded them all the way! - and have been pleased to do so - rather than focussin on how legal the tries were!!!!
but that did amuse me!

Did I mention how either team played?

I stand by my Fev didn't score a legal try tonight.

One thing for sure fella,if we play like we did aganst cas and the pie eaters theN you have one hell of a problem when you come to POR

Didn't think there was anything wrong with the first one. Everyone tries to clamp the ball in the tackle but it to be a steal the defender has to make a ripping action etc which he didn't, it was just muddy and greasy and popped out like soap.

Didn't think there was anything wrong with any of Fev's first 2 tries, the first try the Fev player was just making a tackle, it was the resposibility of the wigan player to keep hold of the ball, the only one that looked a bit dodgy was the second try (think it was Ian Hardman?!) but on the replays it showed he picked the ball up cleanly and I thought he still had control of the ball when he got it over the line (should have deffinatley been given the benifit of doubt) So that was a try in my opinion.
I think one of the big turning points in this game was mid way through the second half when there was 6 points in it, Fev kicked the ball down field, the wigan player clearly knocked on when he went to pick the ball up, I don't know how the lines man missed it, he was staring write at it, and then the tackle later Wigan got a penalty for ball stealing and I think they scored off that set. Think that try took the game away from them.

Great effort by Fev, you put in a dam good performace and did the championship proud!!!

of course you do!

Nothing wrong with Raynors try either, ok the tackle before was a ball steal but how far do you want to go back?

Great effort from Fev and i was cheering them on. Hopefully it will have taken a lot out of them and we can take advantage of that as we should have an `easier` game on Sunday.

Leigh had a similar situation 10 years ago. Getting pipped by Wigan in the CC QF and 10k packed into Hilton Park, unbeaten in the league only to get mullered 34-4 at home the following week.

Fev were superb last night just for the defence alone. If Fax have a start next week though, I think they will win.
