I liked the bit about it being only a play off trophy that they could have won and didn't really matter.

Here is what the RFL wrote when Featherstone actually won the league leaders shield.

Maybe they did need reminding after all??

Last time I checked it was league leaders shield not winners? Lol, they are being quite comical with this, you'd think the playoffs only came in this year the way they are acting!

Was just a day out for the fans and the 'magic box' had already been ticked so didn't matter....it's magic because they would need David Copperfield to magically switch the envelopes when they're announcing the SL licenses for them to get in!

Well done Fax for being the Play Off Trophy winners

Well if there hadnt been a knock on in the build up to their first try..............

lol

"the lack of promotion and relegation removes the main advantage of winning the game"

right! so the coach did not want to win for his CV, the players did not want to win for their personal memories and carrers, the fans did not want to win to complete what has been a fantastic season for Fev! oh the the saml amount of 70k and of cource bragging rights!

i think comical ali did infact write this!

"A knock on by Patterson was picked up by Zak but as he raced for the line, Mr Hicks ignored the advantage and put the scrum down." I like how they missed Zaks knock on as he tried to pick the ball up which led to the scrum.

It's hard not to read it without a smile on your face

It reads bitter and pathetic.

Imagine if Saints win next week.. I wonder who sky will pronounce SL champions...

I actually love Fev. Their reluctance to realising they've won naff all this year (‘ooo we waz minor premier championzz ‘) is pleasing and making this all that much better.

Just how did you expect the game to be reported on a FEATHERSTONE ROVERS website.
Of course it's going to be biased towards the Rovers as I am sure official Halifax reports will be towards Fax.

Just for the record, you will find that the majority of true Rovers fans including myself congratulate you on your great win. It was a truly fantastic comeback. We should have put the game to bed but Fax made us pay for that. At the game I honestly thought that we had been the better side in general, but having watched the game on tv I now feel that Fax dominated for the greater part of the game and fully deserved the win.

AND YES Halifax are the champions.

I do not agree for one minute with the play off format, I have always belived that the team finishing top of the league should be crowned champions and in my eyes the Rovers are just that.
However we knew the rules at the start of the season and history will show that Halifax are the 2010 champions. - Good enough for you ?


PS, sincere best wishes for next year, I hope it is a good a league has it has been this year.

it'll do....

if you watch the Sky coverage, robert hicks blew up for a forward pass not a knock on so there is no play on advantage

Who cares? We won and Fev won the League-Both are winners. A Fev report is bound to be biased-same as ours would be. After whats gone on at the weekend I hope that fans from both sides try and show more respect for each other. Some things are more important in life than Rugby.

Daryl Powell's interview last night on radion leeds was very professional and complimentary to fax
