Latter I reckon no balls that one

John Kear has said on one of Gledhill’s interviews that we are targeting 3 half back options to cover for Brough. He is almost certain that we will see this new signing at the Widnes game.

Yes shame that. If Flanagan has persuaded his team mates that he didn't do anything, and that it was all fabricated, then you'd have thought they'd have leathered Bussey throughout.

That's correct. One of the three is about a week away from full fitness.

Both Bradford and Featherstone are weakened by having Covid-19 isolation cases.

Injured (ankle I believe) late on in the Sheffield game and not played since

I think Bussey would have relished that to be honest. Sorry to disappoint the fearless keyboard warrior who thinks he's "lost his bottle", but he went off after a lengthy stoppage with an ankle injury three games ago and hasn't played since.

He's always been the kind of player that you love when he's on your team and hate when he's not, like Flanagan and many others.

It would have been a good test of team spirit, togetherness etc to see how our lads would have reacted to him. But yeah he's not a soft lad so no suggestion of dodging the game.

I still think it's an odd one. The only plausible reason that Bussey would have stitched Flanagan up is if they hate one another. Either that or Flanagan actually did it. Not entirely sure either way to be honest.

Should be an intriguing game this one. Missing a few leaders in our squad like Brough and Murphy but we still have a decent side available and Fev are also missing a few key men. Away to Fev isn’t a game we would expect to win so nothing to lose and hopefully we turn up and take the challenge to them.

Yep that's a sensible summary.

how bizarre .... couldnt open rab with vpn and was listening to the game on mixlr, now vpn stopped working so cant listen but can get on here. internet is a wonderful thing lol. so folks no updates unless vpn works again

oh as it went down, fev scored first after 16 mins under the sticks so im assuming 0-6

Two ridiculous knock-ons in the first tackle from us. Unforgivable.

Yep very sloppy defence and individual errors. Made it impossible for ourselves, let's hope they show a bit more in the 2nd half but the signs aren't good. I assume we are uphill in the 2nd half as well?

Think we"re going down hill. But those two lazy errors from DFJ and Walker killed us. Don't think we touched the ball after that.
