Got to be honest an amazing performance from Fev today, thought some of the rugby we played today was great despite having a number of players missing. Felt a bit sorry for Barrow having to come to Fev on a Friday evening after a short turnaround from Sunday and a big shout out to the fans who made the trip.

One thing I will also say is how well it was refereed today, nice to see a ref let the game flow.

Summed up perfectly imo.

Bulls 17 Fax 20 at full time, Fax losing Fairbank to a red after the 3rd tackle

Lovely win for Fax. Even losing a player in the 1st minute Bradford is the sort of team on their home pitch that you still think you have a chance against just because of how they play and how narrow it is. And that's how it went, boring, predictable, and unfit was my assesment of Bradford as Fax still managed to dominate for long periods of the game despite been a player short. It would be no surprise if Kear goes in the next few days. Just no ambition with the ball and one of the strangest decisions Ive seen with Bradford 7 points in front mid second half and a penalty in front of the Fax posts with only their 2nd real venture to the Fax line in that half and they opt to go for 2 points. For me that was the turning point and probably gave Fax the impression that Bradford were out on their feet and it did turn out they were.

Craig Hall reaches 500 points for Featherstone Rovers in 43 games making him the fastest to achieve the milestone!

Cracking player, we (Leigh) lost him, Ben Crooks etc when Derek allowed players to leave before the end of the 2018 season. Well done Craig.

Batley, Panthers, fev, Leigh,  Broncos, York Haven

Think York get a big win to cement their playoff spot and Bradford and Widnes pulled right into pack. 

Fax have to win. 

Depends on team that runs out today from broncos- have all the makings player wise young mixed with old but some of the ‘so called experienced players’ do not actually have the games oversees to back up the hype! Playing representative rugby when you are one of a small number available makes it a bit of a non event but hopeful for a broncos win anyway

You’ve had lots of loanees haven’t you? Have you played with just your squad yet? Think the loanees cause more disruption and can’t do much for player morale imo

The Premier Sports programme schedule has the hosts for tomorrow evening's match down as 'Workhaven RLFC'.  Do they know something about a West Cumbrian club merger that the rest of us don't?!

Just watched the replay of the Fax sending off and cant understand why only one player saw red. Bradford player clearly strikes Fairbank to start it but is on his back and it seems Fairbank gets the red because he got the best punches in. Fair play to the ref though it helped make for a pretty even game. 😁

When the Eagles have Thackeray, QLT and Ben Jones-Bishop ticking they're going to be compettive against everybody except Leigh and Fev.

24-6 late in the second half to Eagles.
