fevnut’s blog updated page ‘Fev Squad 2021’ now includes squad numbers, ages, sponsors and the complete career stats for each player (including, where appropriate, NRL and Queensland Cup matches). Heritage Numbers are also there for those who have already played for Fev. For the others, their heritage numbers will be added as and when they make their début.

fevnut has published our latest fevnut’s musings column. We write about the desperation we feel to get to watch our team playing, but most of the article is reflections on the squad that has been put together for 2021. Finally we write about ‘Offload’ a wonderful project run by Featherstone Rovers Foundation in partnership with Rugby League Cares.

Over the past year or so, fevnut’s blog has published charts of the player’s who have appeared most often for Rovers in a particular position. Last October we produced the page for second rowers and now we complete the ‘starting line-up’ with LOOSE FORWARDS. There are several real Fev Heroes in the chart.

It's so difficult to tell. There are many positions where we seem to have players of almost equal ability so it will probably go on fitness and who is going best in training. Let's just hope that anyone left out shows determination to get into the 17 and doesn't go into a sulk.

Several people saying we have 29 players. I make it 31. Are any of these wrong? Player Prev Club Pos 1 Jimmy Beckett P/LF 2 Ben Blackmore W 3 Fa'amanu Brown HB/H/FB 4 Jack Bussey F 5 Dane Chisholm HB 6 Luke Cooper

RIP Rugby League in North America. Murdered by Super League.

We have published ‘A fevnut Special: Fev’s BAME players’. I was wondering whether any other clubs have produced such a listing. The players are promoting Black Lives Matter but we, the fans should be finding ways to support the inclusivity of Rugby League which has been such a rich part of our heritage.

We have published ‘A fevnut Special: Fev’s BAME players’. Recently Julian Carrington started a thread on facebook about Black players, and as we approach Fev’s Centenary, it seemed right to celebrate all the non-caucasians that have played for Fev. If you are aware of anyone we have left out please let us know, and they will be added.

fevnut has now posted the list of the ten Fev players who played the most games in the second row. When we posted the list of hookers there was only one who played in the summer era. This time four out of the ten did so. In addition we list 18 matches during 1993 and 1994. Do you know what was unique in these matches? Remember we are talking second row.

When fevnut recently published a list of all the Fev players who had appeared in international teams we received a message that we had left out Harold Box’ appearance for ‘Other Nationalities’. We had always intended to follow up with a listing of Fev players in other representative teams. Here it is now (including Harold Box and others playing for ‘Other Nationalities). It has Fev players in County teams, age group teams and ‘Other’ teams. That last section is fascinating. Rugby Union rep teams, Aotearoa Maori, England A and Knights and it includes some strange ones too – the Fev player

Andrew, several people thought that Tommy had played for Ireland so I have been trying to get a definitive response. I have now spoken to Tommy himself. Although he was once in the Ireland squad he ended up as 18th man and never actually played for Ireland. Wiki needs to be corrected!

In the latest fevnut’s musings we write about how Fev won the Challenge Cup in 2020!!! There were an amazing amount of connections with the team that went under the name of Leeds and our little town. We also comment about two recent signings that have absolutely delighted us.

I can't find any references to Tommy actually playing for Ireland. That is not, however, conclusive. I will try and see if anyone has any contact details for him.
