Its a bizarre scoreline, how many times can you score 40 points and still lose? Especially by a 20pt margin

Remember our game there a few years back, finished something like 78-38, difference there was that was the last regular season game and playoff places were cemented, nothing to play for.

Can't help but think Fev may, uncharacteristically taken an eye off the main game and be looking ahead to the Cas fixture next week, but with Cas's record in the Cup the past few years (Golden Point victory against us and knocked out by Barrow) Fev really do have a good chance

I think you could be right. A big game that everyone wants to play in so might not commit to the tackle as much for fear of getting injured maybe?

The scoreline reminds me of the 64-40 (I think) win at Fev a few years ago. As I walked out a Fev fan in a car winded his window down and said "I wish we could afford to bribe a ref". Strange that he didn't think that his team's defending might have been a major factor in the result.

How times have changed for them now ! Where do they find the money for Crookesy ? Players all signed in well before that they must have been up to their budget & cap limits.

They're sending Clare Balding all the way out to Featherstone to do a piece on the deprivation that exists there. Hopefully the horrific pictures will pull on the heartstrings of the British public.
