bookies giving featherstone a 30 point start....

been disappointed with ellis recently as ive been a fan but not been producing the goods, who has though.

Wardle the only previously injured player to make the squad. Kruise back in, Grix and brough out.
I see it being
Connor
Ormsby
Leroy
Wardle
Murphy
Brierley
Ellis
Rapira
Kruise
Huby
Taai
Bruno
Hinchcliffe

Wood
Eorl
Mason
Roberts.

Rickster's recipe for success -

“What we have to do is keep things simple and make sure we don’t try and over-play. We have to be patient.

I also want to see us showing more sting in our line speed, more aggression in our defence, and keep it simple and play more direct in attack.

If we do that then we’ll make things a lot easier for ourselves."

So basically what we've been saying all season....

yep all correct, just the players need to do it

they can do it

we have beaten warrington and hull fc at home who were both top of the league the time. so they can do it (both those wins were in the wet)

So can we conclude that the squad didn't want to play for Paul Anderson anymore,and the club should have replaced him sooner?

No cause they aren't playing for anyone- not even themselves!

I think she's right here, sad if it is the case, but there is a malaise that no one but the players it seems can get rid of.

could do with boosting the points difference today!

welcoming back snitch and griffin, two players who did well for us

fev prob get more claps onto the field than hudds today

Need to play from minute one to 80.

Points difference and confidence is huge considering games get increasingly hard after this.

Well we got the win. Featherstone got very upset at Brierleys scoring a second try -





Hewer wasn't great either. Hit and miss with his offside decisions for both teams- many times we weren't onside. Fev were convinced woody's try wasn't one- - But how on Earth was fevs third try given! They'd knocked on and Huby picked it up- so it was a free play!!!!

Woody, Bruno, Leroy, Ollie and Wardle were good today, Ormsby and Connor not so good. Connor does not appear to me to be a team player and some of his decision making goes against what Stone is saying we need to be doing with the ball!

Just shows how far we have gone down that I came away from the game rather underwhelmed. If that's the standard of the championship then I hope it has given our boys the incentive that if they don't pull their finger then fev will be the standard they will play every week.
Thought Woody speeded things up when he came on and they have to go with him and kruise going forward. Not got a lot more to say as I thought we did what we had to but we are where we are for a reason so I guess a win is a win.

great to get back to winning ways and seeing a few smiles on faces again!

cant complain when you score 62 points

thought wood was great today , very determined and caused fev problems with his pace...

wardle played well on his comeback, hope he can get a run at centre now

thought fev were supposed to bring 1000 supporters? way short of that more like 200.

I thought Ormsby was excellent today
Certainly ran the ball back hard


Some sloppiness still - especially with Ellis' passing at times but good line speed, they showed a desire to win that's been too absent and overall looked like a team

Leeds won 62-6
We won 60-16 with two of their scores from Hewer being clueless

So I'm not sure we can gripe so much

Oh and for my money brierly and Ellis looked our best and most balanced partnership all season

He certainly ran the ball in well- but Ormsby looked a bit shaky under those high kicks to the corner though!

I was quite close to the last two Fev tries. Second was in touch, third he bounced the ball.

Appalling refereeing in both directions.

I thought

Connor was poor, no pace and is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.
Murphy and Ormsby were ok
Cudjoe had a quiet game
Wardle was a good comeback game
Ellis was patchy some good some poor
Brierly needs a few more breaks by the other players. When there is one he's there.
Crabtree better than most games this season.
Hinchcliffe works hard but not a hooker. Way too slow at PTB
Huby one of his better games.
Lawrence solid as ever
Taii Quiet for him.
Ikahihifo was average for me

Roberts again looked impressive
Wood was very good when he came on and speeded up the PTB
Rapira was solid
Mason was solid


But as a team lacking in cohesion and ideas. Would have strugged to even beat an average Superleague side today.

Wood looks so much better at hooker than hinchlife.

Quicker ptb and takes on the line much more, plus scoots well. Couple of good kicks too.

Brierley played ok Ellis was poor in my opinion his passing was hit and miss and he has slowed up so his show and go rarely works Brierley and Brough for me for the Leigh game.

we needed a win, preferably a big one, and got that, job done.

Wasn't by any stretch a barometer of anything, at times we were good, other times, our typical frustrating selves, Fev were good in patches and never gave up and tried hard enough, but we had too much full time power, speed and skill in the end.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, on paper this was the weakest team in the qualifiers, we still have work to do!

Major disappointment for me (and I suspect Ken) is only 3,000 or so Huddersfield supporters appear to care enough to turn up to support the team!

What can be done about it?

Another one wanting to get at the supporters. A lot of us have cared all season and enough to go to Salford last week for the tosh the Giants served up.

Sorry mate that's a decent gate for a Championship match get real !!

We all know there's a problem,if you haven't got a solution might as well STFU

Most people only care about watching and supporting a winning team.
