  1. I think the missed conversions from touch played a big part in the collapse after McShane's try. Being ten points down at that stage seemed to de-motivate Fev in that intense heat. If their tries had been scored nearer the posts we might have seen another fight back?
  2. I'd rather give Turner a game now rather than when we have no choice but to bring him in from the cold. Reynolds is definitely not 100% and his kicking is well below his best, whereas Turner is near perfect from the tee and could land a couple from the touchline we might struggle with at present. Halifax next Friday is a must win game if we want to finish above them, and Reynolds will benefit from the rest.
  3. On current form 3rd place is possibly achievable by beating everyone below 2nd place, and Bradford & Toulouse are not unbeatable either. I went to watch TO at Batley last Saturday and came away saying "Fev will beat these when they go over there!" But what does current form depend on? I think it's half to do with having a top class pair of half backs, then getting Gadwin back and the settling into the team of new players like King V, O'Connor and Webb, who is twice the player he was at the start of the season, plus the ongoing development of Jimmy Beckett, who looks a star in the making. We have a couple of new injuries but the resilience within the squad is holding up at the moment, and long may it continue, but certain positions don't have adequate cover and are vulnerable to injury or suspension!
  4. I can imagine "Not many people know that!" but what's happened with the rules regarding live streaming? I can see it working for Barrow because they won't get many travelling away fans, but would it affect the already meagre attendances of the M62 Corridor Clubs?
  5. £6.50 is a fair price as far as I'm concerned, it's too far to travel for me on Sunday. I hope Toulouse do something similar, but then the other remaining away matches aren't too bad!

  7. Looking back to when Jon Sharp was coach (wish he still was), at a fans forum meeting he said that a half-back's contract was a lot more expensive than a prop's, so how about another recruitment drive for the Squadbuilder? I'm willing to increase my monthly contribution if others are? Didn't it pay for Chizzy and help us reach the GF when it first started up?
  8. I still have nightmares from the games against Halifax in 2010/2011 when we were beaten by golden point drop goals, but what kept Fax in the game both times was the immaculate goal kicking of Patterson, who would never have got anywhere near the Fev first team.
  9. Well done Chris, I haven't seen it yet, but will make a special trip out to buy a copy.
  10. Thanks to Cliff Lonsdale for pointing out my error regarding the London M.O.M. - My report reads Eagles instead of Broncos. Caused by using a previous template.
  11. Best way to have a look at him, can't see Jones and Jubb being dropped to give him a game. Would have to get a loanee in quick though if one of those two got injured.
  12. I liked him as player/coach at Doncaster, but since then he's been mainly as an assistant, but mostly in SL. He's certainly got the technical nous, but has he got the leadership skills? We need two new half-backs, and who better to choose who to go for? I'm quite optimistic!
