Fev away, thoughts??

Gonna get battered

The Pit village team will probably have a field day(sorry make that ex Pit)

Not doing very well with predictions thus year so far, I reckon we will win thus one

This looks a tough one to predict. Having watched London take us (Fev) apart in the final game last year (admittedly when we were a beaten-up team with nothing to play for, but the Broncos looked very good that day), it is puzzling from the outside how London have struggled this year. But after a bright start, we haven't been especially convincing lately and were deservedly beaten by Toulouse last week at home.

Looks like both teams are going to be struggling a bit with injuries/suspensions which makes predictions even harder. No doubt though that the three games between London & Fev are going to have a big say on the top 4 this year.

We have a top tier ref for this one.

Banished from SL this week

Can anyone make a case for us winning this one??

If we play to our abilities, stop dropping the ball, stop bombing tries, stop trying to score on every play, and stop giving endless penalties in the tackle/play of the ball, we can win....................

Well if you thought your injury list was bad...
we (Fev) will be without Frankie Mariano, Jason Walton, Ash Handley, Kyle Briggs and Brad Tagg through injury, Richard Moore is suspended, and Misi Taulapapa is still waiting for his visa clearance.

2 or 3 weeks ago would have really fancied us in this one but we haven't been very convincing lately and a few of the injured guys have been very important to us this season.

Thats not an injury list, thats just 3 players out. another who hasnt played most of the season by selection, and one Leeds player.

Not sure what your point is...somebody asked if there was any case to be made for London beating Fev. All seven players I mentioned would be in the 17 for most Fev fans I think...yes Handley is DR but he has played for us most weeks.

For a variety of reasons we're missing 7 from potentially our best 17 so that obviously has an impact on any case to be made for London winning on Sunday, just as London's injuries have clearly had an impact on their form. Am not attempting to predict the result as games between Fev and London have been very tough to forecast over the last couple of years.

Squad announced and 3 recognised props named.
And out of the 3 only really Ioane has had a good season to date!

Struggling to see us winning this still.

Hope I'm wrong!

I can understand him not going with the young props, but where is Offerdahl ? I am thinking he is going for mobility, which could go either way against a big set of Fev bruisers.

It certainly will be an uphill struggle, for one half of the game at least.

If I recall correctly last time I went, we played better uphill than down! Most odd! Still lost.
Weather is going to be excellent, hopefully that will suit the broncos better, but will wait and see

Match Odds!

Featherstone 1/5
London 7/2

Says it all.....

Only to the bookies

Not technically correct...

Would you whack a months wage on us getting the win?

Getting whooped..... As predicted!

Simply not good enough

In a nutshell.

No way is this team SL standard. Mid championship at best.

Well the bookies got it right didn't they
not good, reckon the way we are going we will be lucky to scrape 4th

Changes needed?

In answer to the question of would I wack a month's wages on the odds.
no but they could be giving odds of 100 to 1 and still wouldn't it's a mugs game

As the Yorkshire Post reads tomorrow, 'Broncos Knocked for Six' the wheels seem to be coming off and as others say it is going to be a fight to get in the top four, no one gave Bradford a chance with their points reduction, but they seem to have more chance than we do.

Toronto seem to have got it right in preparation for promotion next season, can't see clubs getting much change when they travel to Canada from next Month if they are getting beat by such high scorelines at home, they seem to have picked up on some good players.
