Half man half grapefruit Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Great win for you boys yesterday - Well done! You can look forward to next week's match with confidence.We competed well with the Bulls in the first half,and were well in touch at half-time,trailing 18=12.This was despite the fact that we were without half a dozen first choice players due to injury or being rested.We conceded in the first set of six after the interval,and that seemed to deflate us.The heat didn't help either,obviously favouring the full-time team. I didn't think Bradford were anything special,Caro crossed 5 times,but my grandma could have scored some of them. Charnock did nothing,but Chisolm was a handful at times,especially when taking on tiring forwards down the middle.They also looked dangerous when the pivot switched the direction of their attack,a ploy they used regularly.Pitts didn't play and according to some Bulls' fans,he has been their best forward this season.Ferguson started strongly,then faded,and overall,their pack was workmanlike,rather than destructive.Leigh are a far better outfit,and I think their current league position reflects their inconsistency.If Sheffield and Dewsbury can turn them over at Odsal,they are obviously very beatable,Believe me,they will not relish a visit to your place-a cracking ground by the way-and if you keep your heads and self-belief you will do them.I would take you against them at home off a level handicap anytime,and I will be having a few quid on you. Best of luck,you have nothing to fear.Forget their past reputation,they are no better than you. I will be cheering from afar on Sunday,at Bower Fold.

Blind side johnny Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Clearly this will be the tastiest match of the week possibly tempting some neutrals along. What is the current capacity of POR? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about being one of the best in the championship and build with the added revenue.Its come a bit nerve wracking late but at least we have a chance now.

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You'd like to think Leeds will still let us use Baldwinson (except presumably if we made the Middle 8s and played them) given he has played over the 8 game minimum so they could recall him if necessary, though he seems to be out of favour with McDermott and he tweets as if he's 100% a Fev player. Wouldn't really make sense for them to let us use anyone else given the rules. But if we manage to win on Sunday, I doubt anyone will find MC or JS fretting away in the clubhouse afterwards about who's going to play on the wing in the middle 8s....

marklaspalmas Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Quite^^ Look at the 17 who beat Fax. Subtract Goulding & Mullally and add Craven, Cording, Roche, Blockley. Baldy would be the only DR who qualifies to play in the 8s. I could see a set up where he could play for Fev but not v Leeds perhaps. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 None of Baldwinson, Golding or Mullally are in Leeds' squad for their game this week (nor is Handley for that matter, not sure if he's fit yet though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distantdog Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Supposing we win against Bradford. We then lose our Leeds players. Any sign of Craven returning? How do you see the team lining up if we progress? First, and most important steps first! Same for Batley. A win means everything to both our clubs, perhaps even more for Bradford. Once in the 8's, they will take care of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in the 8's, they will take care of themselves. I think for Batley its a bonus and they would survive either way pretty comfortably(So if you want to let us in that would be nice). IMO Fev and Bradfords futures largely depend on getting in the 8's. Fev seem to have put all their eggs in one basket going by talk around the game and for Bradford to miss out on the top 4 I would imagine would be a financial disaster for them as their chairman isnt likely to be splashing any cash and they have been getting by with their large crowds which are steadily dropping and will drop even more for them if they miss out. I think it hits Bradford the hardest missing out so a Fev win on Sunday would be nice. If Batley decided not to turn up on Sunday that would be nice too but Im not going to begrudge them their place in the top 4 because they certainly deserve it how consistent they have been.

ROVERS FOREVER Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Come to match Oxy and stand with us lot behind sticks. Wear your Fax shirt so we have a better chance at spotting you. You'll see we're not all bad ha ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Supposing we do Colin.... we use our own... How do you see the line up col? [/quote If Craven and Cording are fit Robin. Then as we wont have any Leeds players, except Baldwinson perhaps as follows. Craven, Cording, Hardman, Channing, Missi, Briggs, Thackerey, Bostock, Ellis, Baldwinson/Griffin, Spears, Davies, Ormondroyd. Bench Cooper,Baldwinson/Griffin, Tagg,Ward. How do you see it? Lots of rumours about signings before the weekend. None specific mentioned. Do you reckon that Leeds will let us play some DR so long as we are not playing Leeds. Anticipating of course that we beat Bradford which of course has to come first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone DR'd before the transfer deadline can play for the DR club in the 8s. Play 8 or more games for the DR club and you can play for BOTH your parent and DR clubs. Less than that, it's one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than that, it's one or the other.Got to have played 3 times to play in the 8s as DR, then have to declare for one club or the other. Play 8 games as DR, then can continue to swap on a week by week basis. Only Baldwinson would meet the latter, but we could potentially have Golding, Lilley, and any others that have done 3 games with us. Whether Leeds would take the risk of not needing them however is another matter.Edit: that's what you just said.

jamescolin Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 So to get this clear then. Anybody from Leeds that is a DR player can play for either club of his choosing? So many interpretations which is the right one and can the Leeds players mentioned play in the play off 8's for us. We know we have to beat Bradford firstly but it would be interesting to know who could be in our team if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we have to beat Bradford firstly but it would be interesting to know who could be in our team if we win. Not quite. Any player who has played 3 times for us by the end of the weekend can play for either us or Leeds in the next round of 8s, wherever we end up. They have to stick with a single club from that point onwards however, so if they're with us, they're with us for the rest of the season. Only if they've played 8 games for us can they pick and choose on a weekly basis. I'd suspect Leeds would want to keep them all with them for cover for the 8s, however that is just my hunch, not based on any inside knowledge.

So many interpretations which is the right one and can the Leeds players mentioned play in the play off 8's for us. We know we have to beat Bradford firstly but it would be interesting to know who could be in our team if we win.Basically....Baldwinson can play for either club as he has met the 8 game criteria Lilley has met the minimum 3 games so has the opportunity to declare which club he intends to represent in the 8s format if Leeds allow him to play - if he chooses Leeds thats it, even if he is not getting in their squad during the 8s I think Handley Mullally Achurch L. Briscoe and Golding need to play one more game for us to meet the same criteria as Lilley These above are the only Leeds players we can have during the 8s competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goulding and Mullally could possibly play their third games on Sunday. Only Luke Briscoe would be short. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
