  1. Very interesting...
  2. Maybe not officially but it would be incredibly dangerous to not have longer breaks in play before scrums etc.
  3. Surely not?!
  4. He surely couldn't be 18th man or named in the 21 man squads as he has been, if he had a visa issue? He'd be unavailable for selection entirely?
  5. I'm sure she's where she is by merit, and should absolutely be applauded for having achieved what she has. Especially in a world where everything is labelled as "woke".
  6. Sorry, total brain fade.
  7. If Sheffield wanted rid I'd assume his release was agreed by mutual consent and everything just written off
  8. It's a shame, he looked an excellent signing in pre-season, ran good lines and made breaks. Hope he can sort his injuries and get back playing, wherever that might be.
  9. Our pack has been a disappointment for a variety of different reasons. Day and Boothroyd looked like a line breaking second row partnership in pre-season, unfortunately they've both had long periods of injuries. Akauola looked a monster when playing against plumbers pre-season, but is less fit than me, and I'm 37 and 19 stone. Williams, Stevens and Webb I'm convinced are the same person. Springer has been the one bright spot in the pack, but he's missed time too and we've missed him when he's not there.
  10. We seem to have decided that Gareth Gale is a better prop / second rower than people like Arnold. Which is certainly a choice.
  11. There's no way that the Featherstone Rovers administration doesn't know the attendance with all tickets being digital. The reason why they don't make it public however, is lost on me.
  12. I'm not sure what your point is here? Yes he's obviously still injured or he'd have kicked throughout. I found it interesting that a one legged Reynolds was seen as our best chance at that point.
  13. Interesting that Reynolds attempted to convert the Hardcastle try at 30-28. Hampshire's attempt from 55 or so metres was very close, had the distance and then some.
  14. Did Connor Jones kick one? Rovers twitter said so. Edit: Nevermind, he didn't, I can't read.
  15. I thought Olpherts did well defensively against Doncaster. He's been nothing short of terrible since.
  16. We lost against London when half their squad had never met each other. Can't see us turning them over now. Doncaster were poor.
  17. I wouldn't back Featherstone to beat anyone at the minute. No halves, weak pack, can't tackle.
  18. Having just watched the "highlights", is Olpherts and Barley the worst defensive centre/wing pairing that's ever played the game? Wacokecoke got all sorts of abuse last year for his defensive positioning. Olpherts is worse.
  19. The club's website is embarrassing. Results? What are those? The squad hasn't been updated since it was added. Ryan Hampshire? Never heard of him mate. Poor Jimmy Beckett still isn't on there. I'd be thrilled if I'd paid to be his sponsor. The fact that there isn't a full fixture list on there is just baffling. I was ensured by the Blue Wall's Voice it would be updated once the media team got up to speed. I can only assume they're still using a dial up connection.
  20. They performed better than the 17 that showed up yesterday, despite being sat in the stands.
  21. Reynolds Springer Boothroyd
