It’s the number of overseas trained players that’s limited in Super League. 10 is ridiculous, why don’t Championship clubs face the same restrictions as Super League clubs? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widnes can’t afford to lose a prop this season so would expect a hefty transfer fee involved for him to play at Fev this year. Salford next year is more than likely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford next year is more than likely Maybe he has a clause in his contract? I highly doubt Fev would pay much of a fee for a player unlikely to be with them next season. On Ford that feels like a strange signing for Fev and I don't see him as any better than what they have unless its a signing to stop Leigh signing him as I think he would slot straight in to the Leigh team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowys Backside Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Dupree been smashed about by the lobbygobblers already this year and I can't see a place for Ford at all. Saying that, good attacking 8ft stand off for whom I'd run at all day. Fev already have the best squad in the championship, but fair play to them. It's a great squad they have assembled 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't knock our ambition but we need to be building for next season IF we get in SL , we do have quite a few experienced players. But we will have to trust in the folk running the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandOffHalf Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Good to see the poor fella get a gig after the off-putting manner in which he and Kheirallah were dispensed with by TO in authoritarian France. This affair has soured by love affair with TO and their arrival into SL. Hope he has some success at his new club. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUBRATS Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Ford is an enigma , RL scrum halves and stand offs are traditionally ' normal or smaller than average , Johnathon is ' all wrong ' , more Meadowlark Lemon than Andy Gregory He's obviously a quality player at this level , but also potentially a weakness in defence , really looking forward to see how he fits in somewhere new after a decade in France An inspired signing ? , Or expensive mistake ?

Bring it on Hes a good player obviously, but I think the risk for Fev is that he isnt necessarily better than what is already there and this might disrupt the morale and atmosphere in the squad. Time will tell but Fev now have 6 halves. Morgan Smith has arguably been the best player this year and has likely just lost his place. Chisholm and Holmes odds on to leave, Chisholm being a massive fans favorite. Needs some delicate management and I'd have rather seen a marquee front rower brought in. 2 Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Neither Featherstone or Leigh will be over £2.1m on players wages alone, but there are other costs to running a club, both clubs seem to be spending far beyond their means in a desperate bid to get into Super League. One of them will achieve that, one of them won’t. I fear for the financial state of the club that doesn’t, hopefully it’s not a case of Super League or bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
