Fev were expected to prove themselves the best team in the league, and they have, over the duration of a season. Over the course of that period, they have lost a couple of league games and a Chal

Are you sure they were spitting at a Bulls fan and not just trying to have a wash?

Satisfying win at Sheffield after they stole the reverse fixture earlier in the season.

Big game at home to Bradford coming up and really in with a sniff of third.

At least the team being rubbish is an excuse off the menu for those not going - so it will have to be something else like the lack of a pre game bouncy castle or face painting.

You know, the important stuff.

Big games coming up. Gotta get past Widnes first. How have London wrangled three home games to finish the season with? 🤔

It's almost as if everyone doesn't get to play each other home and away.

I would imagine nothing more sinister than pitch relaying by AFC Wimbledon in the summer. They played two games at Ebbsfleet during that period.

Of course we also got stitched up with Toulouse in the Bash - such is the conspiracy (even though we won).

The Fev fan was still fighting stewards as they were trying to get him out of the ground. I hope they called the Police.

As for the game; the weather was too hot for both teams and I think Featherstone lasted better than the Bulls. Our first-half offload game dropped off a cliff in the second half.

4500 crowd ... not bad but the club probably hoped for more.

Decent game but neither team looked remotely good enough for Superleague.

Can't believe that anybody who watched Widnes v London earlier in the season would've expected both teams to be in a with a chance of the play-offs, potentially even a home first round game. That was one of the worst games I have ever seen at this level.

I'm happy that it looks like they will make the Play offs. but I won't be going back to see them again this season even if they get promoted.  Far too much has happened since 2019 for me to give any more money while we have Hughes and Loubster still running the show

Widnes plumbed the depths that afternoon. I remember thinking I've never seen anyone play that bad against us.

Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.

Thank your lucky stars you didn't see London last year under Coleman. I remember back to back nillings at home, at is was us with nil - LOL

I know you groundshare. I would have thought dates now would have been more likely not to be able to be at plough lane as the footy season hs started, was just wondering how it happened. No implication of anything underhand

Fev are actually gonna bottle thus aren't they.

This must be the silliest and laziest saying in rugby league, especially in this context. If Fev had been 12 points clear halfway through the season and then lost a string of games, then maybe.

But in a system where it all comes down to two play-off games, randomness kicks in. In a one-off play-off game, anything can happen. To talk about rugby league players - some of the toughest sportsmen on the planet - "bottling it" is a bit daft in my opinion.

It's an especially strange comment to make on a day when they won and secured the league leaders' shield!

Was only joking.

On the flipside - we have had the pressure of catch up all season as well.

Up until the Bash we were nothing more than lower mid table quality.

I think the whole league is mid table quality tbh. I say this every week. I’m getting a bit boring on the subject 🤣🤣

Horribly dull game considering it was so close.

London were the better side but the skill levels on show, the mistakes and the endless lying on just drained any enjoyment.

Ha. I agree really, but it makes for jeopardy in most games, which is good.

I was at the Sheff-London game today. I disagree. It was mediocrity v average, and one of them won.

What? Anyone can bottle anything if they're expected to succeed at something very heavily and then not succeed.
