Really enjoyed the atmosphere today it made a nice change having mixed supporters with the accompanying banter just like the good old days of RL apart from the beer throwing which probably wouldn't have happened if the culprits were sober...no harm done! Who is the very noisy woman in your ranks ? She was stood next to me & for a few minutes at the end of the match i thought i had gone deaf.
Thought Fev played very well today& showed why they are top of their division & imo they showed the Wire a thing or two about effort today.Good luck for the rest of the season!!

Thought Fev played some really clever rugby today keep it up and you will win the league.

Cracking set of folks, same time next year!?

Go on then Chris but at your place, really enjoyed it last year.

Bring some passing fluency to their very well structured kicking game and I can see Fev winning NL1 at a canter.

Thought Featherstone were superb today - slowed the game down and looked dangerous with the ball in hand. I also thought their kicking game was good (except the kick in the first minute that went out on the full). Thought they also made the most out of the referee today - a super league ref would have punished them nearly every set of 6 for lying on - shame the ref didn't get a grip of the game early on.

I was expecting them to collapse with tiredness later in the 2nd half but they kept going and probably finished the stronger of the two.

Bit of a shame about the odd beer throwing incident and the group of fans arguing with the bouncers/stewards for the first 15 mintues but I guess that was because of the alcohol and it didn't really cause any problem.

As for the Warrington performance - poor is all you can say - hopefully this was just because they were taking it easy. Thought Chris Riley and Solomona were out stand out players.

Fev in for Cas & Wakey. (Well for on the field performances)

Some very interesting comments regarding the referee on the Warrington Guardian website. How come it was Hicks and not Thaler as initially scheduled? I thought this may have been due to Thaler being transferred to cover Hudds-Hull KR to prevent Silverwood doing two games over the weekend following Gansons injury but obviously not.

It looks like Smith isn't happy with coaches talking to referees at half-time and then being awarded a bag full of penalties in second half.

Thought Fev acquitted themselves very well - certainly on that performance wouldn't have looked out of place as a SL fixture. People can argue all they like about missing players but Wire were certainly guilty of thinking it was going to be easy after racing to 16-0. We took foot off gas for long periods & allowed them to show what they are capable of and while an upset was never really on the cards it was certainly a lot better intensity wise than last year.

I can assure the left centre for Fev that Moz doesn't normally defend in the 3/4 line - I bet he still doesn't know what hit him after being cleaned out in the 2nd half!

Fantastic day just wanted to say thanks your fans are friendly and I only hope that we Fev can keep playing as we did yesterday good luck in the next round it would br great to say we got knocked out by the challenge cup winners for the second year running

negatives - stewarding was bloody hopeless and led to much frustration.
The PA system was ropey at least where we were stood.
And the golden gamble ticket prize - £100? We paid £50 out at a reserve game and regularly pay out £500 at 1st team fixtures these days. Poor value and i understand why many fev fans declined.
Positives then.
Decent stadium with great views.
Cracking access and reasonable prices.
Choice of hostels very close by.
Top fans. Very hospitable and great craic which really made the day.

I thought at was an excellent performance from rovers. 6 & 9 played really well.

Fans seemed like a good bunch.. bit of beer throwing.. but that happens in the south stand when its all home supporters.... there was however one total muppet, some rovers fan (in his 50's) who tried to get right up next to westwood when he was kicking a goal after the second try... he was red in the face from shouting "yer bent f**King b*****d westwood.. f*****g q***r boy"... right next to the advertising hoardings.. a steward had hold him him trying to keep him off the pitch... then i saw him at half time buying a pint what does a fan need to do to get thrown out of a ground these days?

Good side.. I can see them winning that division on the basis of yesterdays performance.

I really rate Briggs and would love to see him in SL, when he was in Leeds Academy he was man of the match in a game against Penrith Panthers who had several players who are now standing out in the NRL.

It's a shame that clubs don't recruit more from the National Leagues instead of only looking for overseas players.

I think you have to temper that mindset with the monies wanted by NL clubs for transfer and the desire (and salary requirements) for parttime players to go fulltime.

Thought Fev were terrific. Repeatedly running the ball out of their own 10/20 was impressive to say the least. Thought they might turn up with a forwards only game and just grind it repeatedly down the middle. They didn't and played some bloody good stuff.
