Pickersgill Gale Hardcastle Hall Briscoe Holmes Chisholm Kopczak Jones Moors Ferres Hellewell Field subs Davies Cooper Smith Wildie Well we now have an actual starting 17 with the confirmation that Matty Wildie's back. Key off-season question: does he regain his former position as leader of the victory song or is Coops going to fight him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Matt Shaw says Welham is leaving us and signing for Sheffield. Bit of a surprise, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haskey Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Why would Welham leave us to join Aston at Sheffield, surely his contract would not be as good as ours or is the change of coach a reason ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you see him get in over hardy and hall hall could be used as a second ball playing fullback and his play reading on the edge is outstanding hardy is probably our most under rated player nothing gets past him in defence and he makes solid yards every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardypaul Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thought Welham had a good end to the season but wasn’t great for large parts, that being said we will need another centre as cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Not surprising news this but Nu has been confirmed as returning to Australia with his partner. https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/thank-you-nu-92yGb Had a fine year with us, glad he isn't going to another British club anyway. We look set at half back with Holmes, Chisholm and Smith, so hopefully frees up a bit of money for more signings elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking At our recruitment of pickersgill and luke along side new contracts for craig josh and gareth looks like that's our preferred back line so the question is with the option of us offering any SL team a successful DR arrangement to cover the shortfall have we even offered Kris W and going further back Tom M a contract?

sentoffagain2 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I don't think we saw the best of Kris until the last few games.With his age it probably makes sense to look to replace him hopefully with a younger player.He may find playing for Eagles puts less pressure on him than the higher expectations at Fev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haskey Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Best of luck Nu . I have been to Os , and the country is fantastic and the weather is great. I can understand him leaving the UK with the weather likely to turn cold soon. He will be missed but hopefully the players we have & have signed will step up to the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinos78 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 If Leeds and Fev link up again then Centre cover is probably the least of your concern. Our strongest 17 will probably exclude... Jack Broadbent, 20 year old England knights centre Corey Hall, done very well at York last year as a 18 year old Levi Edwards, described as a generational talent, played well for Batley as a 17 year old last season These lads have already played well at championship and superleague level, Leeds will want them playing championship at least next season, not reserves.

Indeed, that had occurred to me as well. On the other hand the area where we currently look lightest is our middles/props, and that's probably an area where Leeds might not have too much to spare looking at your squad at the moment.

And that may well cause a problem as it could be difficult to get a game with Fev unless its cover for injury or other types of absence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Nu Brown is a big loss for mine. I know it comes down to money, but he was class. Edited October 30, 2021 by marklaspalmas typo 2 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Springer would have been OK for us in the middle but he has stepped up to full time with Toulouse.Didn't think he would get a SL gig but good luck to him.Brown owes us nowt always played with a smile on his face and interacted with our fans,i will miss him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a fair summary, Muizz Mustapha would be the one that springs to mind as a Middle/Prop that could well spend plenty of time with Fev if we DR again.

I was very impressed with Mustapha in the games i saw him play for KR last season.He was always looking for work and took some tackling.If he keeps improving he has a bright future in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very good young player, think most KR fans would agree he was excellent for them in there 2 playoff games against Warrington and Catalan. He'd be in our 17 before the likes of Donaldson and Thompson for me, but dont think our management will see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
