  1. It seems to get used by the RFL more than anyone else for amatuer finals at all age groups and would be an ideal permanent venue for youth, open age and women's finals.
  2. Can't we get the D/R arrangement with Leeds Rhinos back? They sent us some cracking players while although Hull KR were the best team they only sent us dregs.
  3. Hope not, he's got real potential!
  4. With his previous health concerns, I'm worried for him already. He seems well suited for the job though if he can keep well.
  5. If they're getting paid anything like they were at Fev, then either Donny will soon be in trouble too if they don't achieve SL, or whoever is bank rolling them has cash to spare? Or are Donny paying sensible wages?
  6. In view of that, Ged Corcoran's comments in TotalRL are also promising, stating that all at Fev are playing a waiting game. It's whether we could afford to keep them however, but if we could keep the coaching staff and home based players from last year I believe we could still be competitive.
  7. Did Bruce also play for Sandal Endowed Primary school around 1962/63? If so I remember him playing against us (Sharlston) and he was outstanding. Also played against Kevin Harkin loads of times, he was probably the most talkative player I ever came across, and was always complimentary toward the opposition.
  8. That £250 is just a fraction of what many travelling fans would save by not having to travel to Toulouse!
  9. I'm still paying into Squad Builder, but where does the money go? If it's not an independant account, then it needs to be!
  10. That's a message for us all - Rovers will never die! We all just need to stick with them through any hard times that may be around the corner, good times will come again - Remember the 4,000 that went to Headingley in 2007!
  11. What happened then, my memory fails? I remember when they were Rydale York, and then they were York City Knights, but what happened in-between, did they go into admin, or out of business?
  12. My apologies regarding Leigh - They went into administration in 1991 and 1994 but didn't go out of business.
  13. I will support the new team that starts up in its place. There's a handful of clubs that's started up again, some immediately, like Leigh, and some after a year or two, like Bradford. The people of Featherstone & Pontefract wouldn't let us lie dormant for long. The big issue would be what would happen to the stadium and where would we play if the worst was to come? I'd watch them from the bottom of the league playing at somewhere like Pontefract Collieries or RUFC, or even Kinsley Dogs until Fev Lions could be upgraded. The media would have a field day, however, if we played at Kinsley (Rovers gone to the Dogs!) But what would happen to the land and the stadium? If it is owned only by the A Shareholders does that mean it can't be grabbed by the creditors?
  14. Beckett Webb Addy The game was won in the forwards, including Addy as a hybrid forward/half-back.
  15. The narrow pitch may well suit an extra forward playing in the halves like last week, but do we have another tactical field kicker, assuming Reynolds is unavailable? I also wonder whether Bradford will play their first choice side or rest a few if Toulouse beat Hunslet on Saturday? If the conditions are poor I might try Clay Webb at 6, Addy at 7, and Hardcastle and Wilde at 12 and 13 in an attempt to hit them hard in every tackle causing more ball spillage?
