Blimey Fev must be on a diff page to us then. We are all pumped up because we have clawed our way into the top four mix having just beaten a team form the top four and enthuse about our coach. Fev smash Bfd, who we have lost to twice, still in the top four mix and sack the coach.Watch out RM if you don't finish 4th now-you could be next.

We really need Fev to miss out on the money for next season if we can make it.

Must agree, just look at Fax.

Why not ?

People disagree ... it happens.

Let me turn the question around .... why are you surprised ?

I'm not surprised that Andy left the club, the home form this season has been poor. Poor performances over the course of the last season has seen the standard drop considerably.

Andy seemed a nice guy and took on a huge challenge under difficult circumstances.

A lot has gone on at Featherstone, from very solid foundations they have managed to destabalise themselves. Have to think Mark Campbell has played a big part in that by a string of poor judgement calls. He's done a great job upto a point and probably will again but it seems the minute he aimed really high is the moment the cracks appeared.

Fev had years of stability under Powell who is showing what a really top coach he is at Cas, they are big boots he left to be filled and as yet they haven't been. Perhaps the problem at Fev is that they didn't realise how important the coach is and how he can make or break players, something I think we at Fax are now seeing with RM at the helm.

I agree with you and Foxy Dread. The coach is crucial to how the players perform and Campbell is a "one man band" especially after the Fake Sheik left him in the lurch.

Good job we have RM to look after things on the field. The board will always be there to have a pop at but IMO they are trying to build for the future and not rush into a quick fix disaster.

Very true, the BoD are giving us a stable platform to help build a team on the pitch.

UTFAX!

Difficult to make sensible comment from the outside but one wonders how the departure of Feisal's wedge has affected recruitment.

Expectations still seem high.

Feisal never had any wedge, even the Roller was allegedly hired for the odd day at a time.

He never paid in full for his shares and the 60 grand cheque him and his mate Craig made much fanfare of handing to the stand volunteers went bouncing all the way into Purston Park Lake.

Andy Hay is a decent bloke, but I think he stepped up to head coach too soon, I also question if his personality is the right one for a head coach.

The debt that Feisal and Poskitt left certainly had an effect, it prevented us from going full time. Mark had to use some of the RFL/Sky money to stabilise the club.

We were unlucky to lose our first choice halfback before the season due to family problems at home, but Hay's performance has been less than sparkling, especially at home where we have been dire. We've lost a good 1000 off the crowd due to seriously inept performances against teams we should be beating with the squad available to us

"We've lost a good 1000 off the crowd due to seriously inept performances against teams we should be beating with the squad available to us."

Now that sound familiar!!!!!!!
