"A stadium that is poor"? Have you seen where you play your home games?

Our defence was awesome today and the result showed that. Looking forward to the season ahead if that performance was anything to go by!

ps: Got to love Richie Mathers, never fails to disappoint!

Aren't we Mr Grumpypants today!



It was always going to be tough in those conditions. We didn't learn anything we don't know, but maybe reinforced the things we do!

Out enthused. Well done Fev.

Lots to work on but nothing that cannot be fixed.

The team all round today was poor, we will get better when our over seas players get here, but flat caps off to fev they did play well, big let down running out of burgers

I have to congratulate Featherstone on their performance today. They defended with intensity and strength. They also for the main had a decent sliding defence. All the team played with passion and grit. In attack they threw the ball about well and completed many set moves including a great second try (or third). I'm not going to mention about who was missing etc as its 13 v 13 and they deserved the win.

Overall I was disappointed with Wakefield's performance but certainly not despondent for the season. The start was woeful not just in the first pass and dropped ball but in the many mistakes that lead to a 16-0 lead. We regrouped well and scored two tries. Collis always looked dangerous and on a firmer pitch would have had an even greater impact.

Critically IMO I thought our passing was poor at times around the knees and ankles. Also our last kick options do not relieve pressure enough for the team from deep and are not challenging enough in the final third. They scored a few tries out wide and it would be interesting to watch back our sliding defence to see what areas we could improve on.

Other than Collis, thought Kirmond worked hard and I'm sure there was other stand out players but it was that cold my eyes couldn't grasp who was doing what!

Historically friendlies in all sports throw up a whole range of results so I'm not overly fussed. We got another 80 minutes of fitness, 2 young debutants and another game closer to Salford!!

The new lads arriving will be a boost and I'm sure the intensity, sharpness and efficiency in training will continue to improve as we get closer to the season!

Carefull you'll be accused of overeacting

A sudden influx of Fev fans ganging up on me!

I stand by what I said though - it was a horrible afternoon and the rugby was of a pretty low standard; Fev did the basics well and we didn't. And the stadium is dire - like a smaller, scruffier BV, without the saving grace of an excellent pitch.

I'll probably feel better when I've thawed out.

Unable to make it today how did the youth of our Squad go as I feel these games are career makers for our future stars. Had a bet on young Jordan Crowther to be full England International within next 5 years having seen this young super star through is teenage years GET TO LADBROOKES other high street bookmakers available sorry board administrators.

Forgot to ask did he get a game.
