Does anybody on here think we can win on sunday as the second half performance from the weekend given anyone the confidence we can get the job done. I think fev will come out all guns blazing to try and blow us off the park if we can still be in the game at halftime we have a good chance if not it will be a long afternoon. And from what i have seen it doesn't matter if they play down the slope in the second half or not they are equally as strong so no excuses on that front. And would you make any selection changes for the weekend maybe one or two in from huddersfield or not.

Of course we can win. Fev have undoubtedly put together a more than decent squad but elevating them to a great team is not on, despite their Leeds 'connections'. We need to put together two very good 40 minutes instead of one, or 20 minutes here and 15 there and we certainly can bring the points back. The same team as last Sunday will do me and certainly no shuddersfield players. Up The Fax! :D

The recipe for beating Featherstone or indeed any side has to start with a full 80 minute performance. We certainly have enough firepower to trouble them and the players should take some confidence from our 2nd half performance against them. Ultimately Featherstone have to lose at some point as no team wins forever , so with everyone expecting us to lose I see it as another free hit in fact everyone who plays them as a free hit . Psychologically what is there to fear?we lost comprehensively there twice last year so what’s the worst that can happen , I know Grix won’t pick this side but this would be mine on the left and grixs’ on the right




Jouffret Martin
Walmsley. Walmsey
McComb. Arundal
Barber Barber
Salty. Salty
Aston. Aston
Keyes. Keyes
Murray. Murray
Moore. Wood
Gwayze. Calcott
Kavanagh. Kavanagh
Roberts. Roberts
Fairbank. Fairbank

Tangata. Tangata
Arundal. Garside
Calcott. Gwaze
Wood. Moore

I think Roberts will come in on duel reg ,personally while defensively sound I think arundal offers little in attack so would put him in the second row and unleash McComb and walmsey but I know that won’t happen. I can forgive jouffrets handling errors at fb as he offers more threat than Martin in attack , can’t wait for woodburn hall to return and noticed he was passing and catching the ball on Sunday so can’t be far off .

Yes we have a chance, we need to be at our very best, play our own game and stay in touching distance, if we do go ahead the later the better because Fev have another gear or two to use on the rare occasions they need them.
I noticed both Morris and Aston took knocks on Sunday so have to wait to see on how they are which could swing it with if and where Roberts and Jouffret play.
On Arundal and Barber being in the centres I believe it helps support the mobile pack approach, both could play in the second row so it gives a bit of size across a wider area but McComb is pretty strong and is dangerous in open play.

I hope Roberts plays as he can defend and brings go forward. In my opinion Mcomb is not a centre as his defence is that that strong. It is a toss up between him and Walmsley as they both bring something different. I would bench Moore as Wood is cleverer and we need to score early to put them under pressure. Calcott to start over Gwaze because he adds more bulk from the start to stop their pack especially if we uphill in the first half. Jouffre wont play if it is cold. I overheard JWH saying he hoped to be back in a few weeks. Unfortunately i can`t make it to PO Road as out with family.

Off topic what are peoples thoughts on the signing of joe martin. I thought the reason we didn't sign alex walker was because simon didn't want another out and out fullback so what is joe and isn't is arrival the reason liam Whitton left it makes little sense to me unless its a case of looking after your mates. If anything we need more fire power in the forwards and the players we currently have can do at least a good of job at fullback as joe.

Agree with some of what you say - but no idea why you would want to drop Gwaze who's consistently been our best forward.

Not dropping gwaze , just have him as interchange. Just think that we need our biggest props starting. Gwaze to come on after 15 min or so and then with his engine until half time then stay on for the start of second half. That way we can rotate the other two bigger props.

Totally agree, it makes no sense at all to me. :?

It is a strange one , basically we’ve replaced Liam whitton with Martin which came out of nowhere. Given that jouffret, Aston , walmsey and salty can all deputise at fullback and we have knowles out for the season and gee for a while it would make more sense investing in these areas, just an all round weird one .
