I go on Yorks site as well as this and never come across the name as far as i can remember, a name you'd remember i would have thought.

given that she (big assumption) only has only 4 posts all "gloating" on the Fev site on our demise after the loss to London, I'll guess at a Bradford fan.

The aforementioned F  joined 13th Nov 22 and posted on Fixtures 2023 with

Muddy pitches and cold weather suit Fev

a year later with three posts on Rovers 2024 squad with

I was gutted when Fev didn't make the play off final

and then

Addy is a poor signing

and finally 

Well I think you are in for a season of underachievement next year

So it looks like they got a bee in their bonnet when it comes to FEV

Well I think you are in for a season of underachievement next year , I’m tipping Wakey,Toulouse ,Bradford ,and York to finish ahead of you in the Championship , you had yer chance , the boat has sailed .

Your judgement is based on the fact Featherstone haven't named a full squad. Do me a favour and lend me your crystal ball, I might be able to win lottery.

If her prediction is correct then going on this season  5th in the league is a good position to be in, it was for London.  Her name is based on seaweed so perhaps the boat is hers, and it is going  where the wind takes it. Not the best SEAson for her predictions.

Still early days of course but who do we think should be captain? At this stage (still very early of course) I'd think Bussey or Addy are the 2 likeliest candidates.

Probably Bussey for me, he's come though the ranks as a youngster, been at Fev for much of his career, and he's pretty smart too and a good talker. If Ford wants to go with someone with that extra SL experience then Addy would fit the bill as although he's a newcomer to the team he's very much a local who knows all about the club.

Decent but will never be exceptional IMHO

It’s hard to know, Bussey looks like the most likely, but like you say Addy, or Ben Reynolds would be other options. Does it matter much these days though, I’m not sure.

A bit like Cozza, so a decent swap.

[jamescolin]

Jones would be my pick. Versitile, quick thinking and a good opening spotter.  Bussey as vice captain.

Bussey plays big minutes while Jones is often spelled, therefore Bussey would be my choice.

[POR]

For me there is only one choice 

Attacking Player of the Year, Coach’s Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year.

[jamescolin]

At least the first two letters of his name give hime a good start as captain CA. Then we have Bussey as a sub. BUS _SUB, SEY YES

Bussey for me. In the past he was a real bad boy with a poor disciplinary record but he seems to have turned his game around, and the extra responsibility would help him mature even further.

Indeed. I never thought he was quite as bad as painted by some but he did have a couple of high-profile incidents a few years ago.

He just seems quite alert to what's going on around the field, and he's pretty articulate, whether he'd have the confidence to take over the leadership role is the only question for me.

As an aside, can anyone remember who our two vice captains were, at least as appointed by Long at the start of the season? I looked it up and I would have got one right (Mattie Wildie) but would never have guessed the other - well done if you remembered that our other vice captain was Chris Hankinson.

I wonder if he knew

I watched Hunslet a lot last season and you’ve got yourself a player. Wasn’t a starter for Hunslet but more of an impact sub. Strong in attack and defence and plenty of potential, just keep your hands off any more haha
