Well done Featherstone Rovers. Plaudits must go to Daryl Powell, staff & players. I'm sure the police, licencees & publicans of Warrington may be hoping that they don't make the Grand Final though.

stick to the rugby matters mate please

Well done Featherstone and fully deserved, been building for a few years now and have been the most consistent side week in week out for some time.

Re: Well Done Featherstone : Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:37 pm  

Featherstone have been the most consistant team and the best team by a fair way this past 2 years despite losing some quality players as well. Sadly winning the League doesnt seem to mean much to the idiots at Red Hall. To be fair Fev deserve to win the Grand Final and hope they do it. I have moved on from the bitching between the fans and I wish the Fev Club and fans the best and enjoy the good times whilst they are here. Its just a shame that no matter what Fev, Fax or whoever win in this next few years we are unlikely to be allowed to play in SL.

(and Leigh for that matter) on winning the League Winners Shield for the second year in a row by losing just one game. Both them and Leigh have completely p*ssed over the rest of the League with some great performances constantly over the season.
It’s hard to see past both being in the Grand Final but hopefully we can at least join one of them in the Elimination Semi at worst.

Got to agree with that, some going to only lose one game all season and yer agree its a Leigh v Fev Final no question, there is a fag paper between them this year.
Just shows how bad Calland was for me as we had squads that were as good if not better than the Fev and Leigh squads this year in 2009 and 2010 and look how many games we lost, especially in 2009!

FFS, please give it a rest. The guy's gone now, he did a great job, so just let's leave it, eh?

What? This is a Fax fans forum aint it?
The point is we have been too inconsistent and should have done better.

I still laugh at the Fev bloke's reaction to you after the NRC semi win when you shouted "bad losers Fev" as you walked away from the scrapping masses on the youtube vid.

I don't know how he knows you so well to class you as what he called you, perhaps he reads this mesageboard !

OMG.........

Cant believe im going to say this but i partially agree with TF2. Obviously i wasnt his biggest fan but 2 GF`s and a NRC Final isnt bad. I thought his signings this season were poor and our poor start and how the season really showed this but we dont know what restrictions he was working under and the way he was treated after winning the GF and then been asked to take a pay cut was pretty bad imo. I hope he gets back in to coaching at this level because nobody can deny we played probably the most attractive rugby in this league and with a bit of hard work i think he can be a real asset to another club.

His start to this season was terrible and it only turned the corner when Brian Noble came to assist and consult, Perhaps it gave Matt the kick up the booty that he needed and the defense for us then turned a corner.
Perhaps he rested on his laurels a little too much and expected too many wins due to the Calibre of players he had. All this said and done it must be noted that he has taken this Side from going nowhere to going places and got us recognised for our flair and expasnsive game, We have been on T.V this year about 8 or 9 times so far, More than any other Championship club, thus giving us the oppurtunity to attract more sponsors and get the name out their more. All in all i think Matt achieved great things but lets not forget that Martin Hall was heavily involved in the first couple of seasons and HE attracted the right players. ( Maloney, Branno, Nash )
