I'm tuning in to see whether Fev manage any champagne rugby or if they'll be reduced to one man rugby and then a prop running it on the last. The coach and star halfback have already told us it impossible to play entertaining rugby at Odsal due to the width, so I've knocked a few espresso back in anticipation.

Just back from work. Come on you Bulls. You can always rely on Bongser to root for you (apart from when playing us), but doubly so when playing Fev this season.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:35 pm  

Good first half. Walters unlucky. Not sure Doyle was a double movement, but then again Hall’s try was short anyway!

Foggin-Johnston needs to be more aware, he scores from Walters knock back if he stays switched on.

Kear at fault for both tries. But after the past few weeks I’ve been calling for him at centre so can’t really argue too much.

We’re still in this. Be hard but we’re in it.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:40 pm  

Much better first half but I still expect Fev to cruise home in the final 20.

Get in Bradford!

Our middle defence is shocking.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:36 pm  

I know it was a ‘gutsy’ performance. But where was this effort against Barrow and Halifax? We’d have 4 more points. Not sure how I’m so annoyed after a decent performance.

Hall should be the first choice fullback going forward I think. We miss Rhys Evans in that other centre as well.

Kibula’s best game for us but needs to lose some timber. Not sure what Wallace has done wrong but he should be playing most weeks. Even if it’s off the bench.

Crossley for me, has dropped off over this season. We’re desperate for A. Walker to come back.

Young Walters for me did very well. I’d like to see him and Mustapha come to us for the full season.

My main concern is why the hell do we switch off so much. DFJ for a potential try, the defence literally EVERY time there is an offload and the Bussey in touch, we switch off. Nightmare.

Not to be but a dashed fine fist - Bulls scored three times as many points against them as Leyth did.
Onward, you have the beating of 'Haven in you.

Agree with all of that. Particularly the first part, which is why I was so angry at the Barrow/Fax defeats. Those performances shouldn't just be saved against the big boys on TV when we're under pressure.

Good effort, the team did try but still some frustrations. Crossleys missed tackle on Briscoe when he's just come on, just not good enough. Discipline, I didn't think either side were that bad discipline wise and the refs seem very whistle happy this year, but we have to be smarter. Fevs quality showed in the end.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:04 pm  

A frustrating performance but for the opposite reasons and the reason most fans are hitting out at the club. We know we have the ability to make a good go out most games so why do we only do it against the favourites in the league.

It’s not just this season, numerous games vs leigh and KR too while in the championship. Apply ourselves to that kind of level and we will win more than we lose. This is what winds the fans up when the players don’t seem to give a toss unless they are on tv.

Gutsy performance is right. I hope we build one it and get some consistency but kear has been talking ‘consistency’ for seasons now.

I Hope the steward is ok. Not sure what happened but noticed the stewards over by the Fev fans then a steward was punched.

Fev have some genuine, hard working fans driving their club but they seem to have an incident in the majority of games
