No complaints from me on the result today. York were the better team - especially in defence where we struggled to break them down. for me they are the best team we’ve played all season - thought they were great at Wembley and then again today. They will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season I think Fev tried hard but they were better in defence and more inventive in attack one dispointment was some of their players goading the Fev end at the final hooter - not very classy on to next week and another toughy against Barrow who I note beat the Bulls today

I share everyone’s disappointment. I think after we scored the first two tries we thought it was going to be easy and eased off letting them back into the game. Losing one full back and then another must have been disruptive as well though. Any news on Caleb’s and Turners injuries?

I agree - I think this could be as significant a signing as some of the players Very optimistic about what is happening at the club at the moment

I’m expecting a Wakey win but who knows? As we know to our cost teams coached by Powell who have swept all before them during the season don’t always turn up on the day for the big game

Just had an email about the fans forum tonight and mentions “And who knows… we could even have an exclusive signing to announce!”. Presume this will be Patten

It’s not a good look is it? Things clearly not right behind the scenes at the moment. And cue the inevitable fans of other clubs revelling in our predicament

Didn’t 23 Jack Johnson have a spell on loan with us in 2019 as well?

When I look at the Trin team then I think you have a great squad and certainly the best in the division and along with being full time makes you absolute favourites. The one thing with Daryl in charge- as we’re familiar with in hys time at Fev - is that when it comes to the crunch games he sometimes doesn’t seem to be able to get his teams up for it. And as winning the championship is based on a one off final then that could be a problem for you. And as we found last year - it’s not always easy being favourites as it brings its own pressure and everyone is gunning for you. i don’t doubt you could go through the season unbeaten even but it’s all based on that play off series as to whether it means anything or not ( which I’ve always thought is a daft system but that’s another thread ) looking forward to seeing a good crowd for a local derby on Good Friday and seeing if how close we can get to competing with Wakey this year

A bit like London this season then? I’ll take that

Not a big fan of DR but it’s not served us too badly in the past- Harry Newman and Alex Sutcliffe as up and coming young Leeds players went well for us for example. But then you also have Dwyer who scored 6? tries and then refused to play at fax the week after

I was sad to see Paratta go but walker never really shined in his short spell at Fev.

If I’ve got this right then no Batley or Fax in the play offs this year. That’s 2 less bogey teams of recent years to worry about I suppose

Half time in Toulouse and 16-12 to the home team. Big 2nd half required from Fev

26th Sept 1998 to be precise. My wife’s 30th birthday and much to her disgust I chose to spend it watching Fev get beat by Wakey thus missing out on our best chance of getting into super league (until this season hopefully). After the match I made my way to the Batley Frontier Club to meet her and her friends to “celebrate” her birthday. I wasn’t the best company having just seen Fev lose by a fingertip. she still reminds me of this evening periodically but I often point out that I had Rovers in my life way before I met her - and you never forget your first love

I remember a game he played in for Bradford when he took us apart - the game where we opened the new stand I think so was a while back.

Lee Gaskell released by Wakey today- no news on where he’s going but one for us maybe?

Seem to remember he had a stint at York previously and looked ok there.

Hankinson has kicked for Toulouse in the past I seem to remember and Killer (when fit) can kick as well- but that said I’d always have Hally back n my team in some way shape or form- too good to leave out

The signing of Lawrence by the Bulls caught my eye - always been an admirer of his. looks like championship will be closer next year as some good signings by the top end teams

I’d be very happy if this is true - been impressed with his displays in the World Cup. I was at Donny last night and mentioned to my dad that we should go in for him- reminds me of Jacks in the way he plays, especially near the line

Very pleased with Hankinson - always been an admirer of his since his Swinton days.
