He certainly caused Fev problems, but unfortunately that was when he was playing for us! Calling Robert Hicks a "******* cheat" (even though there was some truth in the accusation) and getting sent off for his pains didn't help matters.

To the Fev supporters that have posted on here can I say well done and thanks for being gracious in defeat. Reading through the comments you have given Fax credit for the performance but not ripped your team to bits which is usually a normal reaction. Excuses haven't been made, you've accepted the result and given how big a game this is for both teams I have a lot of respect for you for it.

Second time that theyve conceded 60 at home in a row too. think they miss tonks in defence this year and maybe morrison too

You need someone in the team who is going to boss the play, Handforth does that and Bowman wouldnt. He could be heard yesterday shouting to Penky to get back to the gameplan, everyone is calling for the ball, stick to the gameplan. Every team needs that player.

I agree 100% with that. Last time I visited POR was an unpleasant experience and a number of my friends swore that they would never go again. I decided to give it another go and tried to talk my friends into it, to no avail apart from 1.
I have to say that yesterday was a totally different experience and I didn't even feel mildly uncomfortable. I will be passing this viewpoint onto my stayaway mates.

I should mention that the Dave Singer incident has never been a factor with me as major finals always attract band wagon supporters and I can't hold Featherstone Rovers responsible for the actions of some sub-human cowardly scrote who possibly attached himself to the club for the day.

Most of us just say it as it is, i rated Divorty and didnt want him to leave and he ripped us to bits yesterday, running some great angles and i must take my cap off to Worrincy we gave him some stick yesterday, he took it, then went the length of the field so you cant begrudge him his bit of showboating. Im hoping Rovers are mentally and physically exhausted from the cup run surely they cant go from beating Cas to running Wigan close to utter shiiiiiite in the space of 3 weeks. What i do know is the next game between the 2 teams will be very interesting

hope so, got a bit boring running all those tries in with total ease..

Batley (a) for you boys is a big one.

One of the best performances ive seen in the last few years, played the conditions perfectly, and even when we went one score down you could see the players had a steel about them and it wasnt going to knock them off a game plan.
Every one of them put in a shift and deserved a post match pint or two

p.s. did anyone else hear the 'Its Ashall, t*at him' comment, then duly missed him.. made me chuckle.

Didn't you all say that after the Sheffield game?

We should have won that Dare - regardless of how the soreline looks - we should have won!!!!
Yesterday we were totally and utterly outplayed across the field. I know that sounds daft - but it's reight! I came away from the sheffield game feeling "that's 3 points blown". I came away yesterday feeling "we've been hammered"!! Massive difference. Yesterday we were all on completing a set!! Unchartered territory these last two seasons!!

Fev've been the best team in 2010 (ok there was a hiccup in the final but we were still the best team over all) and 2011. Has the bubble burst? The problem with no automatic promotion is that teams are bound to have difficulty keeping up standards for three years. Will Fev's performances in 2010 and 2011 and in the cup count towards serious consideration for SL? Had there been promotion, we'd have strengthened and perhaps survived in SL. But there wasn't. Look at Barrow, in 2009 they looked all over SL material now they're in Championship 1. Are 'Fax the coming team? I suppose 'Fax fans hope so, but how long can they keep it up for? The whole system stinks.

Fax the coming team? we've been to 2 GFs in 3 yrs plus a NRC final. We are already here!

One thing that struck me yesterday at POR was how poor the ground is. How on earth you hope to attain SL status with your ground really puzzles me.

If all goes to plan it won't look like that next year

There is more chance of me ing on the moon than Fev being in SL
