Would you have gone if it had been AT Waterhead?

I watched them against Leigh miners I don’t think we will have any problems putting them away whoever plays

No not paying to stand in a field.  It isn't at Waterhead it's at Featherstone not relevant

It's absolutely relevant as it's Waterhead's home game so it would have been at 2pm Saturday any way. Some of our fans are only happy when they've got something to moan about. It's impossible to please all the people all of the time.

Not just Fev fan's.

19 man squad on rfl website (but I imagine that will be 21 as I don’t think clan Webb and Zach herring show up yet )

aekins

akuolua 

Beckett 

Boothroyd 

Gale 

Hatton 
Hardcastle 

jones

jubb

lacans

oconnor

openshaw

reynolds

Springer

stevens

tuimavava

Turner

williams

wynne

and I’m guessing 

webb

herring

Good to see "sightings" of Akauola and Gale. Addy and Vuniyayawa still not ready presumably, and let's hope Brad Day's injury isn't too bad as it was concerning how he was holding his arm when he went off in the Goole game.

Olpherts' name also not there yet and it will be interesting to see who the other 2 names are, assuming we name 21.

FWIW I'm guessing you're right, London's squad for their game only includes 11 names which probably means their new players either are awaiting registration going through or haven't been logged into the RFL's system for the Match Centre yet, or something along those lines.

[The Phantom Horseman]

The guessing was correct, Webb and Herring are in the squad

I'm taking those position numbers very literally and am looking forward to seeing Gaz Gale's silky skills at half back, whilst at numbers 8 and 10 Calum Turner and Thomas Lacans should provide us with a powerhouse pair of props.

That's why I want the players to pick out their numbers from a bucket on Friday night

fevnut has now published ‘Waterhead Warriors v Fev: 21 man squads’.

We find it quite difficult to see the potential shape of the teams in the form in which the clubs publish the squads, so we choose to use guesswork based on last week’s teams to set them out in the traditional manner running from fullback to loose forward and then subs.

We also include a chart showing the leading scorers for both teams.

How I laughed when I saw your comment!!! The name is usually part of the stats so we forgot to add it in. His name is Alan Billington from the Widnes referees society.

This looks like an entertaing game on a nice afternoon for my first match for 2 years. I do not buy online, so can anyone tell me, please, if the £10 age concession is still available at the ground; or if, as seems common nowadays, there is a surcharge for paying at the ground.

Thank you
