Mon 7 Feb: Ch: Featherstone Rovers v Leigh Centurions KO 19:45 (Premier Sports)

[Bearman]

McDermott was almost polite. I wonder if the Mark Campbel had a word about his attitude ?

[devonhawk]

What is wrong with that pitch? First home game of the season and it looks worse than my local union clubs who have played since September. Union players love scrums and resetting scrums, so they always play in mud…

If Fev get promoted, they will need to spend money on a floodlight upgrade. Pitch black down this near side and in the corners.

To be fair, it has been a monsoon in the lead-up to the game.

No idea, I am in the Deep South and we’ve had a pretty relaxed winter….

[Northern Eel]

Fev making good yards up the pitch.

And what a lovely ball for the first try of the night.

[Man of Kent]

Enough about your private life; what about Leilua's assist?

Leigh look out on their feet and a man down for the rest of the game. Going to be a struggle for them.

[Man of Kent]

Good take and finish too. Wasn’t a walk-in in these conditions.

[devonhawk]

Good start by Fev. 
 

One of my best mates is a Leyther, he always tells me the result depends on the Leigh that turn up. They are either outstanding, or shocking. That fits with what I have seen over the years. This Leigh looks like the shocking Leigh so far.

[The Blues Ox]

Should be 10 minutes in the bin for the pro foul.

They play that game at Post Office Road?

[Futtocks]

Leilua's off already. Calf problem.

But Fev score again.

Evens it up a bit Fev having 2 players off injured. Might give Leigh a chance.

 

Scrap that.

Wakefield play football there, also there have been a number of junior and senior cup finals played there recently

Fair play, I didn’t even know they had a team. 

[dkw]

Just a little bit late into the tackle there ha ha..

Stupid sod.

[Northern Eel]

2 x Yellow cards for Leigh. Can Fev capitalise? Fev well on top, even playing up the slope.
