There is a reason he is at fev. Despite what all the nrl experts say in this thread, he’s really not that good.

Probably in the first 2 months at fev if he is going well ,if so he will be in super league before season is half over

I think Brian Mac is the perfect coach to curb any shenanigans that joey may harbour and get him playing to the best of his abilities for featherstone ,whilst putting himself in the spotlight to all and sundry.If the same joey that I watched in the NRL the last few years is anything to go by ,defences are in for a torrid time against this almost unstoppable force .I for one will be very interesting in how his career moves forwards from this point on .

Actually he really is when he wants to be, you enjoy fat Conrad there’s a good lad.

Talking of which it hardly qualifies you to comment on him then does it, oh and for a self professed grammar critic like yourself, you also aren't very good.

He’s been poor since his move to West’s but I don’t believe he wanted the move, or got on with Madge.

He developed off field disciplinary issues when it became clear he was never going to get a chance. Prior to that he was an excellent centre Rapana was regarded as one of the best wingers in the NRL mainly off the back of the work from him abd his ability to create space.

The main concerns I would have were I a Fev fan would be his relationship with the coach. It seems if that doesn’t go well he sulks. Happened at the end of his time at Canberra and at West’s who both had fairly disciplinarian coaches. Mac may have to give him a little more rope than he does other players to get him back playing near his best.

So do we think Featherstone will be getting relegated ,as Subject say's Relegation Battle, or have we moved of topic

The thread says relegation battle no particular mention of Wakefield, fwiw I don't think either Fev or Wakey will get relegated if that helps

Thanks for answer

Same here but I won't be wearing Cas colours.

I will most certainly be in Wakey colours. Haven't decided which fans to stand with though yet.

If I go, obviously.

If you are watching the game v Leigh you will have seen in the first 12 minutes the impact he has on a game.

Far too good for the Championship.

Chris Green didn't last long

Really poor conditions. Leigh have been really poor, Fev playing the conditions better

That time of year again, pundit predictions have just been published on Sky Sports News.

Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Jon Wells both pipped us to drop.

Yup. There’s been many a pundit for 22 years saying we will finish bottom. Not a surprise at all.

They only copy and paste same prediction year on year.

There might be a relegation battle at Sky this season, apparently Jon Wilkins is joining them, so does that mean somebody has got dropped, incidentally when interviewed by that Aussie blonde with the big teeth he was quick to point out that along with Toulouse, us and Salford were most in danger of being relegated, looks like another season watching Sky games with the mute button on.

Wilkin does my tree in and makes my pi*s boil.

Can't stand Wilkin, pleased he didn't get the nod for the 4 job.
He tends to elaborate on other presenters comments and never offers anything original.
He offers nothing.

He was a decent player at Saints, but then again who wouldn't be, he was a grub on the field and for me a grub off it as well.

Salford getting a good and fairly easy win way at a packed cas who would of thought....

Very surprised at that result. Thought a full house at home would have seen Cas through.

From what I hear, many in attendance were drawn there under false pretences.

Lots of people new to the venue were heard asking "where is the bowl to throw our keys in?"

I guess Vasty is trying to say they won't last the season but it only takes 17 if you can get them all out there.
Salford will surprise a lot this season.
Half backs are top quality.
