Featherstone (A) : Sun Jun 05, 2022 1:45 pm  

I’d go with a similar line up as before.

It’s essentially a free hit for us. I’d like to see us defend well again. Keep it respectable and just have a good go at them. Throw the ball about a bit, some off the cuff stuff. Keeping the ball alive etc.

Be interesting to see how we get on. Ibape, Amone and Asiata destroyed them at the ruck in the second half at Tottenham. If we can push up, get the offloads and work them over in that area we might get some change. It's about energy levels. Can we live with them physically for 80 minutes?

Re: Featherstone (A) : Mon Jun 06, 2022 12:04 pm  

Probably stay with them for the first 40 and they'll pull away in the second half.

Hopefully we keep it respectable and it doesn’t undo some of the good work we’ve done over the past two games.

Michael Hoyle is on the bench. Hopefully gets some gametime. See what he’snlike.

Looks like it could be a cricket score unless the defence tightens up. Obviously not a game you'd expect us to win but I was hoping to see us compete given some of the positive comments re recent performance.

Not good from the Bulls but the ref hasn't helped at all. I've now switched off, the game is no longer worth watching.

How a couple of days can make a difference. At Widnes we were world beaters and now its men against boys.

Was open minded about Mark Dunning going into the game but based on this showing it looks like nothing has really changed that much.

New blood needed... not connected to the club for me.

100% agreed the culture needs to change top to bottom
If we don't sort it soon and restructuring does happen it could be the trap door for us.
With keighley coming the other way.

Well that went well. Targeted our unfitter players such as Kibula. Momentum is hard to stop especially against a team like Fev.

Post contact metres just kills us all the time. Unlucky in my opinion not to be 6-0 up early on with the Wallace effort. And if Gill takes that one on one and scores the momentum may change slightly.

But as people have said. This game won’t be a decider as to where we finish but the upcoming games against Sheff etc will be. Can’t afford another Barrow/Fax slip up.
