Featherstone away : Tue Aug 31, 2021 12:37 pm  

Possibly our biggest test of the season so far coming up on Sunday. We go into it on the back of a much improved display last week and should be high on confidence having only lost once in our last eleven games. Looking towards the play-offs I'm not sure whether achieving 3rd or 4th spot is our best route but we just have to take it a game at a time starting with Rovers. It will be a big ask on Sunday but one that is possible if we are on top of our game, we shall see. Up The Fax!

Could we have amir bourouh back for sunday. Adrian lam as said he expects to have sam powell back for there game at the weekend and he seems to want to play a couple of other players at hooker before amir so that puts him way down the pecking order. So we will have to wait and see.

Just out of interest who on here is going on sunday. The only reason i ask is the fans i spoke to on sunday the majority of them will not be going on sunday due to previous incidents at games with featherstone.I will be there just interested if this is a common issue amongst fax fans or not.

We'd have to ask Wigan....then Salford.

Unfortunately the only fixture in the season we won't attend.

I really hope I am wrong and we give them a game but following on from the performance against Widnes recently It will likely be the biggest defeat of the season and possibly of the modern era against Fev simply because the difference in squad / team size and strength weighs heavily in Rovers favour.
Fev fans will know for sure but from the outside they look stronger overall than the DP side?
Apart from the result, no more injuries would be very welcome.

Re: Featherstone away : Wed Sep 01, 2021 10:49 am  

I can't see us getting within 20 points of them to be honest just going on how down to the bare bones we are and the strength of Fev's squad. We should have Larroyer back which does strengthen us a bit but I would be surprised if Harris plays which does give us less options. Personally I would be playing Moore for the full 80 at hooker and having an extra forward on the bench. I see no point in spelling Moore for a worse player but then leaving Moore on the pitch as a makeshift 13. It totally defeats the purpose of having a hooker on the bench.

I will be heading over as usual, I totally respect why some people won't go over there but I won't let a minority of fans stop me following my team.

...and that says it all. A trip to POR is the very opposite of what a day at a rugby league game should be.

I know we don't know each other and the point is you should feel comfortable to wear what ever you want and it is a poor state of affairs when you don't. However i will be going on sunday and if you would like to meet up in your fax shirt i will make sure that no harm or intimidation comes your way. The vast majority of fev fans are decent people and it would be a real shame for you to change your behavior for a minority of idiots.
