Well considering that Fev sorted out a reasonably strong Leeds side on Sunday to the tune of about the original poster's scoreline prediction ... I think it could be more. Although that was a friendly match, and this one will be more competitive (hopefully). It's really a match we could do without ... if we want to encourage fresh supporters IMO. Or at least it would be better as the last game of our set, but not the first. Just a bit of bad luck of the draw. We need starts where we win games early doors. 56-0 against Hull and goodness knows what against Fev don't and won't look good in the Star. |

As SO says it;s not the best start for us. It is highly unlikely we will win, and given where both teams finished last season a defeat by 30 points would arguably reflect a decent showing from us, however in the paper to the people who do not know, it looks poor. I want to see a good showing, the floating fan wants to score wins on the board Like last week, a 56 point loss against a top half Super League team is far from embarrassing but to those who do not follow the game already it looks that way. |

I think this match may be closer than we think. Obviously Fev will be favourites but i think we will give a good account of ourselves. |

I don't think there is much difference between Hull at home and Fev away (given Fev's side, which is class) ... so that and the fact that we struggle at Fev's ground then we will be looking at a similar score. If I am wrong by all means gloat ... I like to be wrong in matters like this. I don't want the Dons to get blasted, but the gulf is enormous. It may be tight for 20 minutes, but then finito. Yes the lads will do their best, buoyed hopefully by a comprehensive win over the amateur side on Sunday, but don't expect miracles yet. |

 I don t expect us to win but as long as we don t surrender meekly after 10 minutes I won t mind too much and the clown in the middle gives us a fair crack of the whip. Friday night in Fev what a treat! |

Ben Thaler would be likely candidate for man in the middle.

Got to agree with S.O, i think Fev with put a bigger score on the board than Hull. Always been a bogie ground for us has Post office road, and unlike Hull on sunday Fev always seem to put big points past us from deep length of the field moves. Hope i'm wrong. Just want us to still be competing at the eighty min mark what ever the score like last week. |

What's all this agreeing with S-O...I find it unnerving  So it all starts (semi) properly this week with the only "down the road" away game of the season |
