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

Many thanks for your congratulations and best wishes, and may I add my commiserations on your team's loss. They played extremely well to soak up all the Halifax pressure and to score 22 unanswered points. Saxton had a blinder, and Hardaker will soon be taken off to SL.

I agree that the Fax website would probably show some bias in their review of the game, but to say by any other means that it was a nothing game with no promotion to be attained through winning is really very sour grapes, indeed. Did the £100000 prize money really mean nothing? As for the fax props having a rest during the 'incident', did not the entirety of both teams get a rest? The report is too one-eyed to be taken seriously, IMO.

I also agree that you should be crowned Champions if you finish top of the league, and without any play-offs.

I would also like to take the opportunity to wish you and your team well for 2011, but not against us.

Bill Authur summed it up perfectly as Extra Time kicked off when he said "The Whole season now comes down to this" which is why its ridiculous, in most sports, if you are consistently the best team and top your league, you are the champions, but not Rugby League.

Why Fev chose to Kick Off i'll never know, they didnt even go for a short kick off, I bet Larder was gutted when we lost the toss as no doubt he'll have remembered what happened at Cas, but when Briggs decided to Kick Off, im sure he was over the moon.

To be fair apparently Matt Calland was saying we would have kicked off. To expect a team to be able to drive it up 70m at Wire in a tense final is unrealistic and we got 'lucky' with the charge down. Don't forget Wire actually is 100m long whereas Cas is only about 80m and it was a beast of a drop goal.

The key play for me was Penkys half break without that Fax wouldn't of been in field position for the charged down attempt and Fev would of likely of got some ball!

Rugby league is a game of eighty one and a half minutes when you're champions on grand final day.

Fev weren't good enough to win it in eighty, 22-4 and they f***** it up.....

The whole season depends on this, Logo for t-shirts anyone ?

Sounds like a new chant for next season to me.

Completely agree. Calland made a brave and bold decision to throw on all our playmakers at once and it came up trumps for us.
