I don't think he's on his own in this opinion, Indeed given their experiences Fev fans are connoisseurs of ###### officials. We started the regular season at Odsal with a try awarded against us that was anything but, and finished it with a perfectly good try chalked off.

To be honest, he has been putting in a bit more effort recently re: tackling, the Dewsbury game I think his stats were 3 times more tackling than average...so that would be 3 then (actually 15 but that has less comedic effect). He normally looks like he's strolling around the pitch in a dinner jacket. Watched the Widnes TO game a few weeks ago and I don't know who was more surprised me or the Widnes players when he ran the ball from AHB inside his own 20 - the Widnes players were clearly stunned as he made a fair bit of ground!

(there have been several more including three at York the other week) Just to be clear, 2 'tries' that you didn't score because you dropped the ball before (not) scoring were, in fact, disallowed tries? The ref is ##### (is that the correct spelling?) because he didn't award 2 'non' tries that weren't scored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York had 2 physically very demanding games away at Leigh last Sunday and home to Fev the week before and had very little left in the tank. With Toulouse' win yesterday leaving York little incentive to win this, they were ripe for the taking. As it is, York have only lost 2 league games since 18th May; once against Toulouse and once against Toronto. Little York. The best English team outside Super League.

I totally agree they were there for the taking but even having a bit of an off day against a Fax team that actually wanted to play if only for the players leaving and to still win is a good result. York are the best team we have played in my opinion aside from Toronto and I wouldnt be at all surprised if they make the final. Its a 3 horse race for me with 4th and 5th just there for a day out.

Chris Taylor Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Can't wait for the play offs to start, it's mouthwatering. Any team can beat each other. Fascinating clip of 1/2 decisions that didn't quite go Featherstone's way. Thought Toulouse played really well to get back in and dominate the match from 18 down. They are a good team that play some lovely rugby. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Great to see Matty Ashton help Swinton to a great final ever win against Sheffield, his 5 tries make him the Championships top try scorer. There have been 1585 tries scored this year in the Championship, at an average of 8.38 per game. 104 Home wins, 74 Away wins 4 Draws, and 7 Neutral wins for 189 games in total. Top team try scorers, unsurprisingly, were Toronto with 191 Tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref doesn’t have a slow mo replay to assist him. So the ref made a mistake, do we have to magnify it all the time? What about the hundreds of mistakes the other 34 people made on the pitch?

He was in a much better position. The point of this post - was firstly to say the game was outstanding, could have gone either way. Toulouse are a brilliant attacking team, and for 50 minutes made Featherstone struggle to even score a point. Secondly, this disallowed try, along with the one at full time has had a huge baring on final league standings. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfolly Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 What is it with a section of Fev. fans? the vast majority of their fans are true R.L. fans and accept defeat knowing that decisions even out over the season, yet we have a few on this forum from Fev. who can not accept this. Only recently we have one complaining about a decision that went against them in the first game of the season.Is it any wonder that the club has a few imbeciles when one idiot posts garbage every time they lose.They need to grow up or keep away from the club and let them keep progressing without the idiots holding them back after every game they lose.

Toulouse beat York at Bootham Crescent this season so I don't think they would have been too bothered having to go and play at York. Mind you, TO have been beaten by Swinton and Bradford at home so it's not a given that they will win either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
