fairfolly 729 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Personally I think they will usurp Toronto and win the Championship final,but will they be allowed into S.L.? I think not even though the winners should be promoted.The only hope for them is that Wakey are relegated and then just maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konkrete 867 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 If they stay injury then Fev could win the comp. No question. Plus they don't have the added complication of SL teams being involved in the middle eights so the DR and loan players are more likely to remain throughout. 1 Quote Forever in our shadow, forever on your mind.

hrtbps 430 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 On current form I'd fancy our chances against anyone in the playoffs. Still a long way to go in a tough league, though. 1 Quote FEATHERSTONE ROVERS, A GENERATIONAL LOVE AFFAIR, AND THE CALL OF HISTORY A SECOND TIME AROUND Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheYoungBaron 50 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Fev will beat Toronto in the final BUT the rfl will change the ruling to ensure that the rovers are not allowed to join the super league.

David Shepherd 748 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Think the OP is being very premature (my wife tells me I am all the time ) We've had a good run, but this league is tough and extremely un-predictable. I'm a long way from getting giddy just yet. And FWIW I don't buy into the RFL hate us conspiracy nonsense. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Taylor 326 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 Here we go "Featherstone Rhinos". We are playing really well, consistent rugby at the moment, especially after such a poor start / pre season. I honestly would say, we are 4th best team in the league behind Toronto, Toulouse and Leigh. As for the Wakefield fan sticking it in, enjoy using our training facilities. 4 Quote 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at our squad, you'll see that we're only using Leeds to occasionally cover full back, usually one of the wingers and usually one of the centres. I'm sure we'll be fine without help from Leeds. Indeed we've performed just as well without the temporary cover as we have when we've had it this season.

Ive seen 3 of the 4 you mentioned recently and I would say that Fev probably are the 2nd best team in the league at this point, I think they just pip Leigh for it at the moment. The signing of Chisolm looks like a master stroke. Leigh look a big powerful unit who play good rugby so i think those two teams are close in all honesty though I think all the rest of the teams are some distance behind Toronto but in a one off game do I think either of those teams could beat Toronto in Toronto to gain promotion, without a doubt I do. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair comment, sir. Really surprised with how your season has gone - but your only a few points off too. Beat Featherstone in 2 weeks and your season is a different story. Barrow at their place is always tough, no shame in losing up there. They will shock a few.

I think that's a fair assessment. I did think Briscoe & Golding were the pick of the Fev players yesterday, so I can see where some of the jibes about Leeds are coming from. Dane Chisholm has been a superb signing, makes you wonder why he's never been able to perform consistently elsewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulwalker71 2,382 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) From what I've seen, mostly on the TV obviously, Toronto are a cut above Featherstone. Could they beat them in one-off playoff match? Of course they could. Would they be allowed into SL? That's a great question, and only Lenaghan and McManus know that right now. It would be kinda funny if Featherstone got promoted and Leeds got relegated. Would Featherstone start dual reg and send their surplus players to Leeds next season?

wasginger 135 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 There's one thing this division is too close to call at the moment. I would have thought once a top 5 place is secured then anything else is just a distraction. I must admit to having silly thoughts of getting to the Grand final but I give my head a shake and I'm back to normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steven Grason 17 Report post Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) On current form I'd day Fev are 2ns best in the division. Look at their last 6 games - 4 of which were York, Widnes, Sheffield and Bradford: - Games 6 - Wins 6 - Points scored 226 (38 average) - Points conceded 58 (10 average) Edited June 17, 2019 by Steven Grason 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
