Quote: Rotherham Fev Fan "Not afe! That try ought to be a contender for try of the season! Great build up, great handling and an unbelieveable turn of pace for the line. There won't be many tries scored that will better that this season. Worth buying the dvd just for that!'"


Scored off the same move against Leeds, but McNally went on his own that time. However, when the ref caught up with everyone, he decided McNally hadn't grounded the ball!

Good atmosphere when the Fev fans eventually arrived. Like I've said elsewhere, those that battled through, deserve a medal!

As regards who did and didn't play last night, do we know how far off Duffy is from getting back, and is Nicho injured, or just not being selected at the moment?

Good afternoon Walt , hope you are well ?As for the players im hoping Duffy is fit for the bullfrogs game next week , though if theres a doubt i would save him for the return at Fev , im not a Nico fan either , but i feel he should be given a chance again , last nights game was just a blip , and i think we can go forward from now , i think a top 3 spot is nailed on , twinned with a Blackpool appearence i would have snatched yer hand off for this pre-season .

I think what we saw in the fax and Sheff drubbings at POR were the after effects of our boys titanic efforts against Cas and Wigan. There is no doubt that the lads were battered and bruised at that time and possibly got carried away with the hype.

Don't forget our guys are part timers and the effort put into stopping Wigan and Cas handing us our axses was immense.

Since then we have started to build slowly back to the team we were last year,with each of the last four games a noticeable confidence and self belief is returning just at the right time.

If you were to ask me if I was prepared to suffer 2 drubbings on home soil in trade off for dumping Castleford out of the Challenge cup and giving Wigan a fright,Then you BET YOUR LIFE I would because this is a marathon not a sprint and we have the rest of the season to put those drubbings right.

DP is the best Coach in this league by far and seldom has got his strategy wrong and I have total faith in him to lead us onto bigger and better things this season.

We have the mighty Fax coming up this week and this one is gonna be a humdinger because to mind we are still hurting from our last encounter and the lads have a point to prove to the Fev fans and themselves.

Nothing short of a very convincing win will do in my opinion at the Shay,if that happens then I think the rest of the league better get ready because the Fevolution will be back on track.

I am happy to play underdog to the league leaders Fax because that I believe is where our motivation will come from going forward,Im happy to be reminded of the 60 point drubbing and I hope DP uses that as the driver for the rest of the season.

Any fight I have ever won in life has been when the result was supposedly a certain loss for me..

Best team won well done Fev.

It wasn't our best performance but sometimes you only play as good as they let you, they defended well and put Riddy under loads of pressure which resulted in a poor kicking game, but we showed spirit to hang in, and if Henderson had been awake we may have pinched it.

Fev are undoubtedly a good side and they tackled hard and pressured our kickers well, however Leigh were well below par on Friday. It is one of those things and I know they were doing their best and despite an inept performance, could easily have snatched a draw or a win towards the end of the match. We seemed to come alive after the Pownall incident. We tackled hard and toiled well, but that was not the same Leigh we have been watching for weeks. As I have said, Fev did well and credit must go to them, but a lot of Leigh's errors were unforced and I honestly do not think we will see them look as flat and so poor in the kicking department again this season. Fev offered us a lot of ball, as their cohesion was not quite there either, but we were too off the boil to accept their gifts. Fev kicked far better than us and that was one of the main differences. Whilst being a tough and gritty game and the closeness of the score made it exciting, there was some extremely poor play from both sides with the ball in hand. I expect the semi to be a better quality game. If we had performed at the level we did against Batley, Sheffield etc on Friday, IMO we would definitely have got the win. However, we did not and of course we cannot always expect to play well. C'est la vie and I cannot wait for the next match at Batley. I love the effort this team puts in. Long may it continue.

Quote: maurice "Fev had runners and better distribution from the ruck, they dominated the ptb all night, illegally as always but they generally got away with it.'"

Ya takes ya chances with the ref. Holding down is only illegal when the ref says it is and is part of the game.
Get it right and it's an effective tool in slowing the opposition down allowing the defensive line to set. When it goes on too long the ref takes issue - you got the penalty. C'est la vie. Fev were just better at working the margins with the ref than Leigh were on friday!

Tell you what tho, McNally's feigning assualt, interference etc is taken to another level like I've not seen in this league. At one point he was falling to the floor rolling his head around like an Italian footy player!!! Similarly trying to play the ref, but like I said, just not as good.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



So Fev are the perfect article. The best rugby playing team, and the best spoiling team.

Perfect article?? Dunno about that Derek. Just better than Leigh in both those departments on friday night.
I also subscribe to the view that Friday's result will have no bearing whatsoever on other games between our clubs this season.

I hope not, but Featherstone were in ominous form on Friday, and set down a marker. Having said that, I thought Leigh did well to stick with them. The trick now, for Leigh, is to not only stick with them, but put them under more pressure. Personally, I think that might be a big ask, coming just four days after what's sure to be another tough one, at Batley, next weekend.
