There are those amongst us who have been advocating for this to be used much more for ages now.

Turning the ball over a metre or two from the line makes it bloody hard to get out.... 

I think some people think its a ruler you must kick on the last tackle,

Typical if the RFL match centre still not up and running for 2 weeks on a row

So looking at the squad I’m guessing we will line up similar to last week. Gale is in the squad but not sure if he’s fit or just filling a spot if not probably Hellewell or Pickersgill to come in.

I think Hepi might get a game

Looking at the squad  for me the  BM has 4 obvious choices to make and 2 questions to answer looking at the 17 who beat barrow tuther week 4 obvious choices are

1 Joey L for Ben H or Gareth G

2 Morgan S for Matty W in the halves

3 Jesse SL for Callum F

4 Tyia H for Loui M

And the two questions

1 After Widnes  does a fresh legged Mattty W replace Conor J  

2 Do you replace Tom H with second hooker outside back or another forward

 

[Robin Evans]

Fev -24 on the coupons. That's generous IMO

[haskey]

Team picked around 25 minutes ago. Looks on paper good enough to come home with the win.

Picture a bit"grainy", but so what it was being shown free. Barrow not really in it.

Well nothing happened to day that was not expected but the pleasing thing for me was we scored in the 5th minute and then in the 77th

[mightyship]

Good workmanlike performance I thought. We were patient and took our chances when we could. 
 

que sera sera - whatever will be will be - we’re going to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium- que sera sera (you get the idea )

Bit scratchy at times in the first half but some good flowing rugby in the second half as the game opened up. Job done, another Cup Final!

Well done today, at times showed what a great squad you have, in the 2nd half your quality really shone through.  Good luck in the final and for the rest of the season. 

[Normy_Rover]

What a fantastic day for the travelling fans, great venue, friendly people and I've got sunburnt forearms, never expected that from an away day at Barrow.

Not the result I wanted but some times you just has to take it on the chin and enjoy what is front of you. Today was one of those days for me.

Your team really know how to turn on the style and put on a show. Fev are the benchmark off and on the field everyone else must aspire to.

It was It must be great to be a Fev fan.

All of the very best not only in the Cup but onwards into Superleague.

 

[Fevrover]

It is great being a Fev fan but we've had our up's and downs over the years.
