Fev will be a tuff nut next week. Andy Hobson continues to be a liability I see. Lazy high tackle ... couple of crucial lazy dropped balls .... and why does he continually square up to the opposition after he's driven the ball in? ... "Yeah, Andy, you're really really hard. Now just get on with the bluddy game eh?".

yeah, he had a shocker

Fev defend well and put teams in pressure waiting for mistakes - big test this one - v professional

By the way, McRae is a really crap commentator - patronised the other presenters then fluffed his own lines

impressed by the fev props though, went forward well and set up rest of team.
think going to be a hard game there next week.

He got sent off vs Fev in the Trains cup

I thought that was just at certain times?

Is our 1st loss going to come on National Telly (when we're reffed out of the game just to make sure)??

Fev looked very solid down the middle which is where we need to match them. Think our wingers will do the job on their pitch though, if we play the way we have been

but isn't their pitch very narrow - i have never seen a free flowing match at featherstone

Apart from our last game there of course. We got pummelled in the first half, smashed them in the second. Bizzare match. Featherstone Rovers 44 Halifax RLFC 64

I stand corrected - but I didn't go to that one

At half time i was seriously thinking about doing a "Wigan walk".

i no its sed alot but the forwards will be the key at fev,

they looked pretty touch up front last nite, our pack on its day cant be matched in championship! lets just hope they have a good nite...

didnt see much to scare us last nite tho.....although theyd prob both give bradford a game

I agree, it's just not put so eloquently.

Yob's a snob

Are you related to Ted Hughes by any chance (Mytholmroyd's finest wordsmith)

I still think we look shaky under a high ball and at the flanks. I bet we get kicked to death.

That must warrant, at the very least a sinbinning.

Fevs forwards dominated the game same old story at Leigh indiscipline and Hobson a liability.Donlan drops down a division,and is struggling to find any form,sad because i always rated him,but would have Mort at Fax no problem.

no pal...just after a job with phil clark

Fev are on a roll and will be very tough to beat at home. However I think if the Pack do there job and stop Harris and the backs having space then we will win-but it will be close! They have a few injuries in the backs - Steel, Pryce etc but have signed Ian Bell from Barrow.
However Leigh were awful and put little pressure on the Fev Pack and just played dumb footy and kept giving easy metres away by coughing up the pill and giving away stupid penalties. Fax need to respect the ball more and think they need to cut out the risky football this once and concentrate on building pressure- something Leigh failed to do.

Big problems at Leigh at present, nothing spent on the squad and not allowing our 6 a visa is showing.
A PT club playing Widnes/Barrow then off to Toulouse then playing Thursday was a big ask and we couldnt do it.
Coaching problems off park dont help and Hobson just creates more work for the rest, I haven't seen him make a 1 on 1 tackle all season.
Donlan shouldnt have played due to injury and we were missing our strike centre, Higson, who will make a great back row, only 19.
Ambition is simply to stay up and rebuild for a crack next year.
Our 3 props were 20 and 21, they will be great in 2/3 years time, if we dont ruin them beforehand.

Yes, not looking too good at Leigh this year. First season in a brand new stadium . . . you needed to spend some cash on players that can create a top team, this way attendances will rise. People will be making their first visits to the LSV, and if they see a naff game they won't return, you need to be drawing in big crowds now, as the time will come and go.

Cant wait for Thurs, we are not expecting to win what with how Fax have been playing but a good performance and a big crowd will make us very happy

It's going to be close and it's going to be a cracker!

sure is
