I was frustrated at the end of the game but i have to pay respect to Fev on how they played under the circumstances. They controlled the speed of the game very well and the kicking game was better than ours. We spilled to much ball in key positions of the field and on the night the score was deserved for Fev. When we get some consistency player wise we'll be right.

Netherton was busy and i was angry that Toa didnt see more ball as he was to much to handle for the young Fev centre.

Big games coming up which we need to win though before we lose touch with Fev and Leigh.

i would have thought a win v leigh is a must or the top two will be all but out of touch.
However, as pepe pointed out, there's nowt for being top in may or even august.
All the final positions determines is the route through the play offs! By then, the widnes team could well be a lot more settled and consistency should have been addressed for a real go in the play offs.
Fev finished 6th last year and almost made it to the GF!

Too late for that. They're a far better prospect this year than Widnes or Fax that's for sure.

There's nothing bitter about my post Rob...
I think if you re-read it you will see that I agree with WVRL Matt on one issue which is that I thought Fev looked ordinary on Friday night. I certainly didn't agree with the cheating bit. I didn't comment on the rest of the season as I haven't otherwise seen you play.
On the back of your league position and in terms of where we are currently with our squad I was expecting to take a battering...
That didn't happen and an error strewn Widnes performance was nearly capable of taking the points.
In the past few seasons we have seen a few teams turn up with the wind in their sails and the difference with how they played compared to Fev is noticeable. Fax, Barrow, Cas, Hull Kr all played a lightning quick game with forwards that came to smash us wily halfbacks that broke our line repeatedly and I think if any of them had played against us on Friday night we would have taken the hammering I expected.
If you want to argue that you didn't look ordinary, that you looked a classy outfit and that your performance was comparable to any of the top teams from past seasons then please feel free. You need to to justify your bitter comment.

Time for a group hug folks

Just because your poo dont drag us with you Rich

I'm not really interested in what went before. You are only as good as your last game as the saying goes. Fax were fairly immense for most of last season but look what happened.
My agreement with Matt in part was that on that one performance you did not look like the amazing team that your results otherwise suggest. That is why I am on the Widnes board talking about the game involving Widnes and not on the Fev board talking about the season so far. I can talk about what I know and what I know is that you did not look a patch on teams that have gone before you to lead this division in that one game.
I can't discuss how you have been up to this point because I don't know and tbh don't really care. As I said you might have been playing like a touring Australian test side... I'm not sure, but on Friday we held you to a rather tepid 9 points despite a lacklustre performance from ourselves.

No one can argue that you aren't a top of the table team because you are top of the table... performance wise it just didn't seem like it on Friday night.



I wasn't calling you bitter mate.. I was referring to you calling me bitter about the loss. I do know you a little from these boards and I also know you from the Total RL site under your other guise.. you appear an alright lad........
When you're not gloating about nicking some of our best players that is..
I'm not having a dig at Fev... all the best to them. They've built a good side and are riding their crest. I look forward to travelling to Post Office road later on in the season.

Ok i will go along with your edited version.
