My bad, 1963.... still 20 years.

Fev last won challenge cup in 1983, Wakefield in 1962....

21 years more recent than Wakefield.

Depends on the substance of Matt Shaws reports. If further investment, especially with regards new board members, stadium improvements and commercial partners, comes to fruition, then maybe not everything is doom and gloom. We will wait and see... as a Fev fan, hopefully everything will stabilise and we can get on with being disappointed with the performances on the field... or not .

No halves so looks like it will be a difficult day.

Totally agree... can't remember seeing a Fax team so bad.

That was a hard watch for 60 minutes. We were poor at times and really struggled against the worst Fax team I can remember. Fax look totally devoid of any team spirit or organisation, on paper they look to have a decent side, just look like 17 strangers on the pitch. If only we had played with the same determination as we did after Gale was sent off, we would have had a field day. Young ref today seemed to struggle, not sure he got the sending off right, Inman seemed to be loosing height as a mitigating factor to the shoulder to the head, perhaps a yellow would have been right. Don't know why he didn't even award a penalty for the foul on Hooley. Unfortunately we are where we are with the lack of experienced Refs.

Team for today.

Helen Skelton.... but yes, it is the same Richie Myler.

Would be really surprised if Manoa plays.

Jones Tennison ?

Apart from the 6 years of licensing.... 2009 to 2014.

Well, Bradford obviously did their homework on Manoa. He cost 2 tries and was bundled into touch for the scrum 10 yards out. It's going to be a long hard watch this season unless Fordy sorts it out.

Thought they may have rested Manoa this week, but it looks like they are pairing him with Minikin. There are a few playing in different positions so we will see if that how it pans out in reality.

Todays team.
