Tyrer can pass a ball,but not to anyone on the field.

Was funny in the interview afterwards, it souned like Marshall was almost going to blame the conditions and stopped himself. It might not have been too bad for us as fans but the fact for 20 minutes in the 2nd half we didnt manage to get to the half way point made it pretty boring viewing. Not that I think it would have been much better if we could have seen anything.

If he'd blamed the conditions for that shambles,it'd be up there with the Strudwick gaffe.

Its part of the minute preview on Fev's twitter. I might be mistaken but certainly sounds like he were about to.

"Far too many points conceded, discipline an issue for us again, and the conditions...I don't want to make any excuses, but I had to come down, I couldn't see - I don't know if that was a good thing, actually - some of the tries we conceded. But it was a funny, surreal atmosphere today. But we must credit Featherstone, and we've got a lot of work to do."

To be fair though he was asked later in the interview if he was surprised if the game was continuing, he said "yeah, but if that was at the Shay and those conditions...you've got to play that, you can't make an excuse....we didn't deserve to win that game, that wasn't down to the fog, it was down to our poor management within the game, and individually the players have got to look at that, and me as coach as well."

On the plus side pre-season is now over and the real stuff starts with Swinton.....

Just heard his radio Leeds interview and he thinks we went well in the first half. He must be dellusional if he thinks us getting rolled coming down the hill is going well. Anyone watch that first half back and tell me we didnt get dominated.

Re: Featherstone v Fax. : Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:52 pm  

If Brandon had passed to QLT we'd have gone in 2 points down at halftime but that doesn's alter the fact we were dominated and 18-4 was a fairer reflection.

Lol! Now that statement is up there with the Strudwick corker. Let's hope he does know what he's doing and we start anew next week with Swinton, who only just got pipped by Toulouse don't forget. Up The Fax!

He threw a pinpoint, try-creating pass on Sunday (to Ase Boas).
