Hopefully Fax can get our injured lads up for this game which I think will be an absolute cracker. Whitehaven are red hot at the moment and we are on a very poor run. I'm going for Fax 22v 14 Whitehaven.

King's Head shuddersfield. Magic Rock Ringmaster 3.9% with a strong whiff of cannabis thrown in!

not sure what to expect tomorrow with recent results. Think could do with Harris playing but we know he wont.

Grix will be up for it to get another match so possible he will have a good game

18-12 fax

Down to a 19 man squad, we will have to be as good in defense as the home league game and take every chance that comes our way, anything less won't be good enough against an in form, up for it Haven.
Fax to just take it in a last all out effort.

Yes it is a question of weather we have got enough left in the tank. Because whitehaven certainly look like they have if we have i will go for a fax win 26-16. As for selection it is anyone's guess i just hope we can get the win tomorrow.

I would never have thought I would be thinking that reality would be a whitehaven win but they seem to have that winning momentum currently

With all due respect a home game with Whitehaven and we are second favourites....
Hopefully the curve will turn upwards from next season...it has to.

Quickly changed to a 21 man squad but emissions from the 1st squad were Barber and Calcott who we really could do with both playing so hopefully its just an admin error. I would imagine it would be Tibbs, Davies, Harris and Calcott that miss out. Maybe we get a surprise for the last game though.

I've been thinking the same BJ but are they really the favourites? Aye, they are on a brilliant run. Fax are on a very poor run. However Fax's form is almost entirely down to our lack of players and hopefully SG can get one, maybe two or three, last good performances out of the lads we have left. We were very good against 'haven at home in the league and despite our personnel problems we showed great defence against Batley last week and if we can repeat that and improve our attacking options there is no reason why we can't book a trip to sunny Featherstone next week. Hopefully Whitehaven peaked in their great comeback at Odslum last Sunday, they were after all 16v0 down to a very average bradford side, and we can extend our season by another week at the very least. Up The Fax!

....but is it the last game?

You would have thought Worthington would be one of those to miss out unless he has had a miraculous recovery from last week with his shoulder / arm injury?
If he is out there are several options involving the 1,6 and 3/4 positions.
One thing that frustrated me last week was that Batley had clearly read our "play book" and were quick in their defensive line to shut us down.
When it was obvious that it wasn't clicking during the game we had a few option to change things around and ask some different questions but didn't do so and if the same people keep doing the same things the same way then you end up with the same result.

Close game like most of us predicted and it was a good advert for the Championship for perspective TV broadcaster.
Thought we just about deserved it over the 80.

Bit of a surprise at the lack of response to today's performance/result - thought we were excellent first half, and while not the only reason for the dip in performance 2nd half loss of JWH definitely affected the balance of the team. Thought Harris was excellent, especially first half, and while not normally his biggest fan thought Mcgrath had his best ever game, coping with a load of pressure on his wing as well as popping up with a try.

Enjoyed the game, thought your backs were much better than Haven's. Scott Grix was superb, Liam Harris was a constant threat, and Robinson looked good when he came on. Obviously your pack was good also, but when you threw the ball out wide you looked a threat. The same can't be said of Whitehaven, despite the 2nd half scoreline.

As I thought, that was a great game of rugby league, the best at The Shay this season. We did the damage with a fantastic first half performance and although 'haven fought back in the second forty I always thought we had enough to see them off. The atmosphere was really good, helped by a great set of fans from Cumberland who really got behind their team, well done to all. Let's hope Fax can get theirselves up for another big game at Fev next Saturday. It will obviously be a tough one but we've done it before and we can do it again. Up The Fax!

Cracking performance that after the way we had been playing. I think we looked in control for the majority of the game and Haven had the benefit of a couple of 50/50 calls that on another day could have easily gone the other way. What a season for Haven and their fans made it a really good atmsophere at the game yesterday and Im sure it was a good game for the TV audience as well. As it turned out the 19 man squad was correct with Barber been in a leg brace so looks like his season is probably done but Worthing ton playing through his shoulder injury and a few more carrying knocks. Hopefully JWH can make it to next weeks game as he has the quality to create things against a big Fev team.

On to next week and you know what I just have a funny feeling that we might cause a surprise with nothing to lose and another step up in prize money to gain.

I agree I don’t think it’ll be as wider margin score as last time , half of fevs ’ tries last time were either bizarre or avoidable cut down on the errors and if we’re still in it with 15 to go we have a chance, a small chance but still .

Really enjoyed the atmosphere at the game and Whitehaven certainly contributed to that there fans were a credit to there club. As for the game i thought harris made a difference to our attack offering balance we tend to favour our left side but he brought a threat to our right side which makes us a harder side to defend against. As for next week i see with some bookies we have got a 28 point start even thou i know we are up against it i will be very disappointed if we lose by that margin or more. The start is key for me i think fev will come out all guns blazing trying to blow us away early doors we after weather the storm and then give them something to think about in return if we can and that is a big if then who knows what could happen we need to put some doubt in there minds.
