Featherstone will struggle next year when they can’t call upon half the Leeds team every week

Never said he had, he's only coached in 3 at the top level . But I don't get why the championship finals shouldn't count ? Granted still not a great conversion rate but how many finals have Cas and fev made in the 90s 00s 2010s without DP.

Not many.

so, he hasn't won a major final, glad we cleared that up.

Leeds will continue to dual reg with Fev IMO.

But the original statement picked up on and countered didn't use the phrases 'top level' or 'major' which have subsequently been included and so was in fact correct.

Not when they are running a reserve side

They probably will but then Fev will not be getting the players who can't get into the first team, they will get the players who don't make the A team.

I'd almost guarantee that won't be true.

I'd love Fev to go all the way and win it. Great, passionate supporters.

I don't think they'd be allowed in though - would that be a reprieve for London?

And yes I know - it's stacked against them.

On what grounds?

If Fev manage to beat Toulouse and Toronto (yes, it's long odds against), they'll be in SL next year. There really isn't any feasible objection that could be made.

You're joking, right? Featherstone have been fined and reprimanded for their fans' behaviour more times than I can count.
