Halifax can still reach 50points and would win the league should Fev lose all their matches by more than twelve points.

I totally agree with you here. JJP will be making a huge mistake here though I do hope not. These players get their heads turned by over zealous agents. They see them having one or two good games in the championship and they are on the band wagon. Its only my opinion but I think JJP is a quality championship player and that is all. But if the rumours are true and if he wants this for himself and not just for a jack the lad agent I will be the first to wish him well. But my advice to him would be to think hard before making the step up.

Does anyone really think that a club for instance say Salford have enjoyed their time in super league as much as we have this season in the championship. Stuff SUPER DOOPER. Controversial I know. And Ive heard all this about we must aspire to be at the top. Yes but only on a level playing field.Fev are Fev to me I.ll watch them in any division but I aint obsessed with SUPER DOOPER. What thrills they have given us at Leigh Barrow Halifax and Widnes this season. Im not bothered about Rugby League and who runs it but I am bothered about Featherstone Rovers

Like all coaches and this includes Jowitt more than any. They have got to TALK a job as well as do a job just to be able to keep their job

Its possible that you might not want to watch it Sidnee if you get my gist!!!

What gets up my nose is "second stanza"used consistently by the great man Stevo. Think he means "second half"

What about the club making everyone go into the stands for one match only at p.o road to see if we can generate the away atmosphere. Only a silly suggestion but I do think everyone together under a stand creates a better atmosphere. Roll on the plans for a stand at the railway end

Our defence has gone haywire recently... but hey we are the league leaders and we would all have taken this scenario at the beginning of the season. This could be our little slump. We have got away with ugly wins recently and I do fear a defeat looming. But I 'm still proud. FAX 46 FEATHERSTONE ROVERS 30 HALF TIME 22-12 ATTENDANCE 2133

Im with you distantdog we weren't good enough to progress, Next season we might be more careful. Im going for a Batley v Leigh final though Leigh will have to be on their mettle to beat a rampant Hunslet.Fev can concentrate on the business in hand

You said "NOT BEING FUNNY" then you said "MAN UNITED"

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE,,,SAY WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE; Good post Genesis we're never satisfied.

I don't think any sides are very beatable ala Dewsbury

Why all the hullabaloo about new grounds anyway? Did anyone see the SheffieldvKeighley match last night? I can tell you that Bramall Lane is a top ground but 1272 in that stadium does no justice to a televised Rugby League game at all. There seemed little or no atmosphere generated from the stand occupied by the fans. Grounds like Widnes and Leigh where you have to plead to stand or sit where you want to are nice stadia but NOT what a RL fan wants. They are souless and clinical to the extreme. How many clubs actually need a 12000 stadia? I can only think of two at the moment. Heres hoping that Fev can maintain its atmospheric element when the alterations to the ground are completed.

Yes and beware the Toulouse factor when we were beaten at home. Every team deserves respect. Featherstone Rovers.....28 Dewsbury....................16 ATT.......................2434 MOM.....................ANDY KAIN

Think he's the best ref around these days.BUT I can change my mind probably around twenty to five on Sunday.

Very admirable post Matt. Hope its us two in the final.

That is a top and gracious post. We were talking to two Leigh blokes on the way out and gave nothing but praise for Fev. It was hilarious though to see Millward pleading with the ref for Nanyn to re tke his missed kick, he then sent on the fourth official.

If it kicked off at 4am on a monday morning I doubt if there would be fewer than 400 fev fans I hope this answers your question. Hope the best team wins.

The correct spelling is TURLEIGH isn't it Matt?

Its nice to be talking about two different teams for the grand final. However never discount anyone at this stage of the season. I fully enjoyed your match on TV though Matt. I did want Widnes to win naturally but a win by Fev on Tuesday and a Barrow victory at Halifax could make it a three horse race. Heres me getting carried away. Leigh are a good side and will take a good performance by our lads to beat you.

Iwas very impressed with Leigh. A big robust side. A repeat of the Toulouse game and we will be in trouble. We need a return to form from a little earlier in the season to stand toe to toe with them. I'm confident Powell can instill that form back into Rovers. We need to play them in their own half a tactic used against Sheffield in the play offs last season will do.

The player is TOTALLY to blame. Surely you know if you've played in the cup already you put up your hand and say "Please MR Calland I think Ive already played in this competition for anoher club" I'd send this player back to were he came from.
