jamescolin Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have watched Fev since 1939. There have been good times and bad times. I reckon we are in an interim period and as in the past things will work out. We have often been looked at as a second rate team but have pulled out surprises to take honours that nobody expected. That time will come again. Fate has a few tricks up his sleeve and we have usually benefited from an unexpected turn of events. My attitude and advice would be to have patience. Rome wasn't built in a day and the future will eventually turn to our advantage. The old Featherstone grit is still there and will eventually emerge. Up the Rovers.

Weve all had time to get over this one lets all move on and hope somehow we can beat Fax and get an extra 50K plus wipe the smug smile away from Oxy boys face . I will be smiling win or lose as always. I can't wait until Sunday, for the outsider its a nothing game, for me its Fax V Fev and one of very few games I can really get excited for.

Andrew Henderson was announced Championship Coach of the Season last night, yet there's a thread on the London forum entitled "Henderson Out". Go figure.

saddleworth Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 19 hours ago, Phil Loxton said: As stated previously I walked out early for the first time in 54 years. Today I don't know whether I feel embarrassed for doing it or whether I feel more embarrassed for the players that made me do it. Believe me I've seen some ###### in those years and have been mightily out weighed by the glory. I attend regularly home and away and I don't want a blue Peter badge for doing it but any one who knows me personally will be just as shocked as I feel for myself. But yesterday right from the outset the players did not intend putting up more than a token resistance. Putting your eggs in one basket expecting to win next week is robbing spectators of their hard earned brass for many of whom also go out to work. I didn't go expecting Fev to beat Warrington but I expected the players to make me feel proud. My wife and I have been supporting Fev for many years. Bad times and good times and it is the first time I have ever walked out during the game. It is not about the rugby that was being offered, it was about the total lack of effort, dedication and guts that was on display from the team. I can forgive any team in defeat, providing they go down fighting. In the past I have witnessed many displays of rugby where we have been totally outclassed but at least we fought tooth and nail and went down fighting, to be cheered off the ground at the end of the game. Regarding the comments about Misi, he was a top class player when we purchased him but I am afraid that over the past seasons he has lost pace and defensive qualities IMO.

Henderson has been given the award for getting a full time team with the 2nd biggest budget in the league and on a par with some SL teams to erm..... 2nd. Sheens I could argue maybe could be in there as he has managed to get KR promoted but realistically neither himself or Henderson could be seen to have over achieved. Looking at the reaction from the awards last night it seems that the majority of people were saying Kelly or Marshall and its very easy to put forward a case for each of them.

fev4evatiggerneva Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Probably marshall for me. Fax finished out of the money last year spent next to nowt, all players took a paycut, but hes motivated them for a big finish and got 3rd.

If you're right (& I'm not saying you aren't) that must mean Hughes is putting in seven figures or very close to it, no? And if that's the case, that's a pretty ordinary team for the money, outside of the halves and Ioane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being a bit flippant omitting Marshall, but Kelly the clear candidate for me. To be fair Marshall bonded the team together very well towards the backend but until the last three games of the regular season most Fax fans seemed pretty disillusioned with what had been offered up, and it's worth noting that Sharp won the last 3 games last year in similar fashion to clinch top 4 against teams that had everything to play for but didn't even get nominated.

I remember seeing the financials a few years back and they been in debt to him to the tune of over 10M, I doubt the amounts he has been putting in have got any less.

Monkeymagic22 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 It's not just about the type of job the part time players have, it's having a proper recovery and preparation for the next match, and also quality training time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingdong Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 dropping a high ball in the 1st few mins of a game with no 1 anywhere near you has got nothing to do with full or part time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I would have thought that any full-timer that did that would have extra catching practice forced on him, and if he kept dropping them he would be shown the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROVERS FOREVER Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Calmed down since the loss now and had a think about the position we were in last year. We lost every middle 8 game and we got hammered by Huddersfield and Leeds, so putting things into perspective, it's not as bad as last season.

Auntie Ruth Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 It shows fans care, nobody wants to see their team get hammered in any sport, it's been a tough couple of seasons but no team has the right to be in the top 4, they have to earn it, which says it all, Fev have finished in the top 4 the last 2 seasons because they've earned it! Times have changed, teams have changed, i.e. Leigh and with the introduction of the Canadian and French sides, it'll get tougher, I support Fev because I care about the club, not because they've dominated in the past, win, lose or drawn, they'll have my support....

haskey Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hopefully Duffy will galvanise our team into an effective unit make P.O.R a fortress and go to away matches full of confidence and pick up wins away. They will also have my full support. As supporters we are entitled to a few moans whether its against our team or the referees., just as long as the lads give 100%, win lose or draw.

Agree completely.I will be there .I love this club and if we lose tomorrow but give it our all I will be happy as I haven't seen the effort put in apart from the Catalan match.I think the Team owe the supporters and more importantly themselves a top performance tomorrow.Some of the players playing tomorrow won't be here next season so let them give it their all plus the rest of the Team and let's hopefully pick up a much needed win that will breed confidence going forward into pre season training.
