There were a lot of fans who were spot on!

Exactly my point about concentrating on next season because even with the likes of Springer, Hewitt and Borough the current squad were still not good enough.
This equates to being 6 or 7 (maybe even more) good quality players short to really compete this year and we are not going to get them in before the playoffs to make up the difference.
I do think we will strengthen somewhat for next year but I can't see us having the financial clout to fill all the gaps in one go so it will still be work in progress.
That's the down side should we finish third, anything less that that next year will be seen as a step backwards.

Even thou not completely unexpected that result is still hard to take and even harder to have watched. Like as already been said fev looked a far bigger side than us even in the warm up i mentioned this to a fev fan in front of me and he just laughed he must of know what was coming. To be fair despite a lot of errors we looked like we could trouble fev with the ball and scored some well taken tries. Woodburnhall, salty, mcomb, and worthington can all take credit for there performances in defeat. Moores when he came on was a handful and only worthington down that side looked like he could tackle him. I thought grix had a shocker not dealing with 2 restarts that both led to tries and throwing a shocking pass along the floor which went straight to gale who went 90 meters to score. And as been said we lack fire power up front and this as become more of a issue as the season as gone along and not been addressed. I wonder what simon thought watching springer setting up 2 tries carrying the ball strongly and strong in defence yes he gave away 1 penaltie but i would take that any day of the week for what you get in return the type of punch that we are lacking and he did longer minutes too. He is good enough for fev who are far better then us but not good enough for us work that one out. We will have our hands full at Whitehaven next week lets just hope we can find a way to win.

Too right. It was borderline farcical. It was a mockery but its history and hope the system of DR never rears again.

Having just watched the highlights, I know the old saying of 'giving em tries' is overused but Jesus, I counted at LEAST 5 tries that were comical/lucky/farcical or a combination of the three. Granted they all needed to be scored and players have to be in position but that was abject:

1. Robinson knock-on
2. Grix knock-on
3. That toe prod that could have gone anywhere for the third try
3. The penultimate try from Ferres where Robinson wilted like wet spinach
5. Grix horrific pass for Gale to scoop up

Wouldn't have changed the result but I don't remember seeing so many gimmes's in one game.

Really, you think they were spot on in attributing Fev's success in 2019 solely to DR?

2019 regular season 17 wins and 10 defeats
2021 regular season 18 wins and 1 defeat

Think again.

Eggsbloodyzactly.
I hate dual reg and the ridiculous pizz taking with the loan arrangement

I don't need to think again. There's none so blind as those that will not see.

In this thread the comment was entirely aimed at the success. If it had just been a general critical comment about DR most Fev fans would agree with it.
Fair play for the splendid passive aggressive ending though.

If what’s being proposed. DR is dead, not sure on loans.

Loans should be for a minimum one of month with no call back allowed. Simple as that. The Grove, shuddersfield. Oakham Citra 4.2% Mmm!
