Fully you and Widnes are the laughing stock of SL wake up and smell the coffee....Season finished ....You might as well just send a direct debit of your cash into RW bank account and stay home on match days.

Enough about Fully & Widnes, this is the Cas section.

No.

Fev beat us fair and square and put in a commendable performance tonight. But it's much easier to psych yourself up in a sense for one-off games than to remain consistent on a weekly basis.

See Widnes v Saints as an example. They knew they only had one opportunity so bust a gut to get it back to 38-40. Week after they were trounced.

These trolls just get worse.

Re: Superleague Standard : Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:32 am  

exactly hull got walloped by wigan worse than us!!!!

You got absolutely annihilated when you played warrington TWICE!!!

Re: Superleague Standard : Sat Apr 28, 2012 8:22 am  

Feel dirty for this but have to agree with Tigers on this that Fev can scalp a few on the day but to play to that Standard week after week is a totally different thing. An amateur team called Sharlston are not to disimilar in that they can beat any team on the day if went into conference league they would struggle.

And I hate to say it too but we and cas are suposed to be full time pros, fev are part time on that basis if fev were a pro team they would be more consistent.

Let's face it they are a very good club on and off the field.

Unfortunatley or fortunatley which side of the fence you are on. featherstone have no chance of ever gaining super league status. The RFL would like to get rid of cas or wakey , for expansion purposes, so they would not replace them with featherstone from the same area. I am afraid Fev will always be a championship side. They do not fulfill all the requirements for SL. their attendances are very poor, their income is well short of requirements, they do not have any juniors who are being given a chance to play first team rugby. Last night how many came through the junior ranks at featherstone. Sam Smeaton, thats about it.

Zak Hardaker, oh no sorry. he wasn't playing he signed for Leeds and now plays for England.

Our scholarship scheme is the third best in rugby league behind leeds and wigan.

Dont kid yourselves that the RL wont replace Cas with Fev. They wont make the Widnes mistake again and expansion has mainly failed.

I think D Powell being at Fev will also help, they wont have the future England coach managing in the championship and I cant see him leaving Fev any time soon

Scabby cat, we are taking steps to improve the stadium.'in fact tue new stand is in the car park!'
As for players brought through from fev, how about:
Zac hardaker
Jamie Rooney
Richard whiting
Stuart dickens
Sam smeaton
Muffy mferdudu (I think! A forward breaking into first team at times)

I'm sure there is some I have missed, and I hope these are right, but our youth system is a real strength of the club.
