Seems very quiet on here, possibly down to this crap site that is ridiculously hard to add a post on. In spite of our very mixed form wont often have a better chance to beat Fev who look crippled wirh a mixture of injuries andsuspensions. Would be great if Crookes fit enough to return.

Not one of the best and a stop start game to watch that never got going or closer to the mark was never allowed to.
Fev were more astute tactically than us and made better yardage and field position and were the better of the two poor sides and the little attacking ball we had was turned over far too early in the tackle count on multiple occasions.

Crookes stood out well for his first game back after such a long layoff along with Clem & Kev.

Fev were certainly not great but at least their forwards consistently made good ground, especially in the first half meaning we played 90% of that in our own half.Agree that Crookes easily our best player - forwards being domimated meant that halves and jWH were anonymous - and what happened to Corey Johnson - he spent half the match looking like he didnt know what day of the week it was.

I remember the days when I was always confident we could overturn deficits as big as 4 scores but now even 2 scores behind seems like a mountain to climb, we couldn't score in a brothel. Sorry to say I was bored senseless today, such a poor game, I don't think I even took my hands out of my pockets! The league table is about right, we are where we deserve to be.

Spot on. I said when it got to 0v8 that Fev had probably already done enough and so it proved. A dreadful game between two dreadful teams officiated by a dreadful referee. Shocking!

The main difference was line speed in defence, we sit and wait for them to come to us, so meant they were on font foot and always got to good kicking position. But that has been there all season. It didn't help when we lost Gee and he decided to put Davies out wide, he was just a passenger. I'd have left him at loose and put Lannon at 2nd row. And he keeps switching Keyes to the right side, where he doesn't look conformable at all

Very poor game.
Fev just about did enough in the first half while we continued with one up rugby. Once again we were trashed up front finding it hard to get out of our half whereas Fev would make 60 plus metres on each set.
Crooks added a bit of pace but let himself down with errors especially one on the first tackle when we were in a good position.
Pity we lost Douglas and especially Calcott to injuries but they have managed to add big forwards to their squad while we still have ageing props.
It is going to go down to the wire I just hope we can sneek a couple of wins soon.

A very poor quality game by 2 sides who are a shadow of their former selves. It is the same old same old from us we get bullied up front and it is only when the opposition start to tire that we get into the game. They was making ground for fun while we was getting controlled and slowed down in the tackle because of their bigger pack. So why have 2 of that pack already been signed up for next year, Kav and Fairbank have been good servants for us but they need moving on along with most of the rest of the squad. Until our lack of physical presence upfront is addressed we will continue to be a struggling side. And just a rumour from yesterday that Londan are after Crooks he wants to go but the club who have just paid for his rehab have said no until at least the end of the season.

I'm personally very nervous for this back end of the season. Nothing suggests we are going to be safe. 3 games now against Widnes, Batley & York. Lose those three and we are well and truly at risk. Concerning on all fronts that players are wanting out. I think next season, fingers crossed in the championship, you can expect to see this 'moneyball' type team, little downside and all upside.

Probably looking at Barrow for our next win. Fev found it so comfortable - they just needed to kick it to our 25, we struggled to make half way. then rinse and repeat. Very boring to watch and we just didn't have the quality to do anything about it.

Between Fax, Barrow and Haven as to who joins Dewsbury re relegation. Can even see it coming down to the last match Haven - v Fax. Just hope that if we do go down we'll be able to survive, as the gate money will barely cover the rent never mind players' wages!

Unfortunately that is a very realistic scenario.

I thin people are forgeting 3 teams can go down and even if dewsbury and haven finnish below us we could still face say keighley or oldham in the relegation play off

I have been concerned for some time about how this season will turn out for us. I think we are a better team than Dewsbury and Whitehaven but that third from bottom playoff spot against the playoff winners from league one i think we could struggle to avoid. So far i am not convinced by Finn as coach but i jumped in too quick on Grix so i am trying to give him a extended benefit of the doubt, and playing wise as i have said we need one hell of a clear out for next year to hopefully avoid a repeat of this season next year.

Agree on all points and this is the second coach this group of players haven’t produced the goods for with little to no sign of them doing so.

The club said earlier that their not panicking but the way things are going surely the alarm bells must be ringing loud and clear now, whether anything can be done about it?
