Aha, we're already getting the excuse in, it didn't take long.



How many times can we use this excuse Fully? Every coach we've had since 2004, this has been used in their defence. One minute we look at our squad and say it's improving on last season, but then when we get rolled over by the big guns easily, or we lose again to a part time team in the CC again and we change our minds and decide to give the coach excuses to make us feel better about ourselves. Again, no offence intended to Fev but how many of their team would anyone choose to replace any of our team before yesterday? Yet again we were totally out played, out enthused, out thought and out coached by a part time outfit. This is and will be the highlight of the majority of those Fev players careers, that is including play off wins and the rest. AS a so called SL club we shouldn't even be talking about this today. As a SL club we should have comfortably beaten Fev with not too much of a fuss. As the rest of the CC results start to filter in today the rest of the SL clubs are doing the business against part timers while we're sat here makng up excuses and hoping that next year or the year after we get it right. We're claiming that what happens on the field isn't important and it's what happens off it that counts. What a crock of crap. We keep saying the same things this last ten years and NOTHING is changing, same crap just a different year.

It's days like yesterday that make me sit here and think that maybe Calder RLFC should have happened all those years ago. Wakey are as bad as us and there's no chance of Fev being given the nod for SL. Someone frigging shoot me!

Hopefully no Fev fans will take any of this the wrong way. I have massive respect for the club and fans and you fully deserved the win yesterday.

Flipping Heck Marshy Calm Darn!!

Hi mate. We also lost to lower league opposition when we lost to Widnes in 2006 too. Plus we drew with Halifax in 2009.

We have a chance of the play offs if the players get their fingers out. The tragic events earlier in the season meant doing without Basil for about a month and I think this has set the team back. I think we should wait until the end of the season and see where we are as it will only be fair to judge him then. The players need to take a long hard look at themselves though.

Forgot about those. My memory obviously isn't that great. Surely we must be top of the list of Super League teams (since 1996) who have been knocked out by lower league teams. The only other ones which stands out are Toulouse beating Widnes, and Hull Kr (when they were in NL1) beating Warrington.

Leigh beat Salford 2001 in a Televised game.
