Bowman and his brainfart cost that game.

Also our Kicking has been poor for last 3 games.

Fitness showed when they upped the tempo in second half and our line speed
Slowed big time.

Great game from fieldhouse. Missed the warrior today IMO.

Really well played both teams. Credit to fev for coming back at us. A really good advert for rugby league in the championship. I dont know what happened for the sendings off but bostock was fair swinging his punches, i would be suprised if he didnt get punished for that. Im looking forward to the other games against fev this season we are going to have some right ding dongs. Any neutral must of loved that game today. Bring on the season.

Featherstone didnt win that game, we lost it and whars with the 45 minutes?. We wont get many games as exciting as that this season.

Re: Halifax 32-34 Featherstone : Sun Feb 26, 2012 5:14 pm  

Very well done to both teams and to our lads especially. Apart from a few spots our defence was fairly strong today and we didn't half run hard.

However, there were far too many mistakes and we could have run away with it if we'd have just kept our heads on. We can't afford these mistakes especially against a team like Fev. But, all in all like before very well done to our lads and lots of positives to take forward... Give it a month or so when we've gelled and players have returned and we could whallop them!

Very exciting game! Bruising encounter with neither team really deserving to lose!
Exciting times ahead when we play like that and we have so many injurys.
Sending offs proably a bit harsh, seen far once go un-punished. Bostock had to go for me- swinging at anyone and everyone.
Did really we for all 85 minutes.

Up the fax

unfortunately the better team lost

Fantastic game. absolutely fantastic.

Re: Halifax 32-34 Featherstone : Sun Feb 26, 2012 5:22 pm  

Unlucky Fax. I think a draw would have been a fair result for that game and I'm confident when we get players back from injury we will beat them. But wow what a game! Well done both teams!
