I thought you might have gone with "Five things you never knew about England's World Cup coach".......

Interesting. That site quotes our own site fevarchive quite a lot. I wrote this myself at some point, but I don't remember where the number came from https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/season-records/59/

Yes, that's correct. It was quoted as a club record transfer fee in the match programme of the time, without mentioning the figure.

There's been some really good games this weekend once again.

A very good club man for Featherstone Rovers in the early eighties, another product of the amazing Sharlston village production line. RIP Steve. So sad to see another of our great Wembley 1983 team pass away. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/players/steve-hankins/440/

Yes, using the watchnrl app on tablet and phone, they're back. But watching via the website on PC they're still AWOL

As an update on this, the watchnrl app on my phone and tablet offers the customary 18 minute highlights package around about an hour or so after the game has finished. I really enjoy this service However, on the website version when on my PC, it is still not available in 2026. Odd

Looks like the second in a series of articles by Willacy. Thanks for the heads up

Same again this week? Young looked superb v Bulldogs. I love to see a winger in full flight do a show-and-go down the touchline.

Arama Hay scored a couple of good tries. Ex-Fev of course

This is my carefully prepared list (cut & paste from AI) of Brits in the NRL for 2027. Have I (or AI) missed anyone?

This has been a better game than we had the right to expect given the conditions. Two tries all, some good ones too, especially Koula's.

Were the previous charges connected to Bondgate not the former chairman's?

I also think that the process by which that "go-ahead" was given by A shareholders is open to scrutiny.

You're obviously familiar with the area and realise it's complicated. Access to the land via the Railway End would be severely restricted by existing buildings between thst end of the Stadium and Station Lane. The purchase by the previous Chairman of Millennium House on Station Lane was highly controversial for this reason, it simply does not guarantee access to the available land behind the stadium. There are, as you say, a couple of dead ends on the recently built estate. Extending that estate will create more problems at what is already a bottleneck on Pontefract Road at the old Junction pub. Perhaps an access road further up Pontefract Road near Copley's farm could be possible, but that's pure speculation on my part. A scenario where a solvent new company runs a rugby league club called Featherstone Rovers out of Post Office Road and someone like Wakefield Met ends up with a plot of land to develop would be absolutely fine by me. Seeing our former Chairman benefit from that would be less welcome from my perspective. Just my opinion.
