Hau

Good to see Bussey back on the bench.

On Rovers TV from 5

I think we are trying to build a squad. I would be surprised to see Joey go, unless we need the quota space for an aggressive, hairy ar$ed prop.

5pm Uk

IIRC in 2021 we were the second of the 2 playoff semi's at home to Fax, although Batley played in Toulouse the same day. I expected us to be a second game, but expected the first game on the same day.

I would expect Bussey on the bench, to get 20 minutes. Otherwise I cant see him playing apart in the playoffs. I would also expect Ford to play, if he is going to break down, then rather now than the playoff semi / final. With Hau, I would play him. Out with a HIA layoff so can see why not, and he brings so much.

I think they strengthened since we played them, adding both Norman and Whare. Do I fear any team in the championship, no... but we can have as easy a passage as possible.

I couldn't seen Batley beating Sheffield, nor Fax winning at London. If that was the case Fev would play London in the semi, which is not the tie I would have chosen.

Sorry to hear that David, condolences.

Broncos need to win a semi in Toulouse before possibly going to Fev. Will be a big ask, but if they do it the will deserve to be in SL.

Just not Bradford...

I'm not sure that Bradford win another game. I can't see them winning at London, their only hope is to sneak a win at Sheffield, which wont be easy. If York beat Batley at home next Monday, it will come down to points difference on the last game. York are at Barrow, who should already be safe, and Batley at home to Newcastle. York are currently 12 better points difference. I think Fax win their last 2. I see they top 6 as Fev TO Sheffield London Fax Batley / York If Bradford win at Sheffield, London will be third, Sheffield fourth and Bradford scrape in 6th. Of course come next Monday, this will all look stupid

Ah... the ref's fault.

The Bulls way...

Big game on Viaplay next Monday.. York at home to Batley.

Win both games, and unless Bradford win one, you could still make the play offs. Possibly points difference between you and Batley.

Sounded like the Bulls fans were doing the Wigan walk again... second week running

Bradford down to 5th, and not inconceivable that they will lose both remaining games, away at Sheffield and London. If that happens I reckon they will miss the playoffs.

More likely in a semi... as usual

I fear TO far more than Fax.... as will all Fev fans.

Would settle for Fev v Fax final... A crowd full of Fev fans with 25 Fax.

I would have been more disappointed if we had conceded the points early, but the fact that most of the points came in the last 25 minutes, when we only had 2 players on the bench. They sounded like the fresher team late on. I don't think Ford ever planned on playing Killer. Lets hope Springer isn't too bad.

Apparently so, Featherstone Rovers have signed England Knights international Ellis Longstaff from Super League side Warrington Wolves with immediate effect. The 21-year-old back-rower or centre has been plying his trade on loan at Salford Red Devils this season, making six appearances for Paul Rowley’s side. Played twice at centre for Hull in 2022 and once for Salford this season.
