On the topic of the match, Leeds loaning 3 players to fev for the end of the season seems to be an odd one to me.

1- Surely Leeds profit more from a game against us than against what has become their academy side with fev.
2- I thought fev were happy with their squad and hadn't needed any Leeds players really to be where they are. (Or at least as they would have you believe)

I think it is very clever of Leeds, by making them loan players they don't have to announce them as DR players before the 8s and are able to recall them after 4 weeks if required, and the 4 weeks cover this week and next week (CC semis) meaning that at worst they would only be unavailable to Leeds the first 2 weeks of the 8s. Get the feeling that Hethington is covering all the bases to make sure Leeds don't mess up the middle 8s.

By the way Leeds get 0p out of a Bradford v Leeds or Fev v Leeds game given that they will be away regardless of whether Leeds finish 9th or 10th (this assumes that Batley beat Swinton on Sunday which I think is likely).

PS can we get back to the game now?

Isn't the pot shared like in CC games?

It should be with us taking so many fans and taking over their ground. Probably outnumber Fev fans 3 to 1

Is this about a group of us putting on flat caps and beating up Halifax fans?

Re: Fev Game : Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:02 pm  

19 man squad to face Fev:

Lee Gaskell, Matty Blythe, Ben Kavanagh, Adam Sidlow, Dale Ferguson, Alex Mellor, Joe Philbin, Stuart Howarth, Tom Olbison, Kris Welham, Jay Pitts, James Clare, Lewis Charnock, Danny Addy, Dane Chisholm, Kieren Moss, Kurt Haggerty, Omari Caro, Adam O’Brien.

I trust in Smith, but his handling of Ryan and Blythe does baffle me somewhat... I get that he's protecting ethan from the bigger games, but I think he'd be much more up to the task than Blythe would!
Good to see Kav back though

Re: Fev Game : Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:07 pm  

1. Moss
2. Caro
3. Blythe
4. Welham
5. Clare
6. Gaskell
7. Chisholm
8. Sidlow
8. Howarth
10 Kavanagh
11. Ferguson
12. Haggerty
13. Charnock

14. O'Brien
15. Philbin
16. Olbison
17. Pitts

Certainly giving up some size. Can imagine Fev having a massive pack.

Reason I think he's gone with Blythe over Ryan is because when Blythe does take it up, he makes decent yards. This is probably missing from Ethans game at the moment.

Re: Fev Game : Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:10 pm  

That's a light weight pack considering the size of Fev's. We going to movement rather than power?

Re: Fev Game : Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:19 pm

So Josh Walters hasn't been included despite the loan deal announcement. I notice Golding there too, he was on the bench for Leeds last night, did he actually get on the field or was he not used?
