The Phantom Horseman Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I said on here when we signed Fleming that it seemed a bit of a strange one, which I wouldnt say very often. Probably reflected the dearth of middles available at the time but he's nowhere near our starting 17 when everyone is fit so makes sense to move him on. We got Springer from them and now they've got Fleming from us, think most of us will be pretty comfortable with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His signings this season have been suspect to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange signing, no surprise he's moved on, but back to fax is a unexpected.

Phil Briscoe Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Think we signed him when Mac was going through the phase of we need any big man there is to match Leigh physically to see if they had a plan B! He infamously said that after one of our defeats to them. Nothing against the guy but he’s nowhere near good enough. Very surprised Fax have taken him.

Rovers fev Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Fleming was far from impressive wonder if we have any plans to bring in any other signings I think we still need another prop and locky and koppy look to be slowing down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over to you MLP or PHM. Featherstone Trinity were formed in 1889 and were the town's first big club. They played until 1902. After dropping the trinity tag they were just Featherstone from about 1893. A rugby union club of course. Northern Union started in 1895 and Featherstone went over in 1898, competing in both the Challenge Cup and Yorkshire Cup. I don't think Featherstone Rovers can trace a direct line back to that club, although opinions may differ. It's no coincidence for me that after this club packed in, in the summer of 1902, that George Johnson found the time and space to form a new club that winter based at the Railway Hotel playing on Umbleby's field and calling themselves Featherstone Rovers. 3 1 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bradford Bulls 2017 Limited can claim the history of Braford Northern and the other clubs/companies in between (and a number of other clubs do in a similar way) I'm sure we can claim the history of Featherstone Trinity. Well it would give us an additional anniversary in 2034 as the 150 anniversary to the foundation of Fev Trinity. I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

The Phantom Horseman Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'd say Matthieu Cozza looks very likely to play for France against England on Saturday. Seven of the 20-man French squad are threequarters, and there are only six middles plus two back rows in the team. Two of the middles are less experienced than Cozza so I'd be surprised if he didn't at least make the bench, maybe even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
