"packed Post Office Road" something you've only ever had playing Cas because of all the armchair supporters appearing from the woodwork and it will only ever be packed against Cas, as Fev fans are so fickle that they have to turn up to beat the "tiggers"

Looking forward to this one. A potential turning point in the Tigers season. We will have to play well. The Tigers forwards should grind the Fev pack down within the first 40-50 minutes. Chase and Orr will then punish Rovers. Cas Tigers to win this enthralling cup game by about 18 points and Fev to remind everyone that they are still around and can compete with the big boys like many years ago. This should be a classic cup game. Don't let the idiots (both clubs) spoil this one. Everyone on their best behavior and lets show the RFL what Rugby League means to this area since we have been snubbed in the venues for the world cup.
Don't be dismayed Tigers fans - we should be looking forward to this one.

Wow - that draw's uncanny after the talk from one or two Fev fans wanting to draw us in the cup! Should be a good crowd at Post office road and no doubt they'll fancy their chances.

We've got 3 more games to play before then and hopefully yesterday was the start of an upturn in our performances, otherwise we could be facing an early exit at the hands of the noisy neighbours (to quote a certain longstanding premiership manager)

Featherstone are a good Championship side Cas by 20 plus

I think it will be a well contested, tough match. But I think this is one we can win, although it will be close given our recent performances.

Funny how times change, as recently as last season we would have this down as somewhat of an easy win. Now we're not so sure!

That's s a very realistic and balanced assesment. Cas are definitely faves to win.

As long as we give 100 % I'm happy.

This is gona be a powder keg....let's make sure it can't go off !.

I'm old school so this for me is Cas' true derby and I know my Fev supporting mates feel the same. If Rangi plays we win, if he doesn't it's spare underpants time.

I think we (fev) have to be realistic and hopefully avoid injury to our best players.
The championship title has to be our main focus,because we can win that. The CC is just a cash cow.

There wont be any problems the Rovers board are very pro-active and will make sure its a trouble free day, half a dozen coppers in view will keep the peace no one will want banging up for the night. People should focus on the positive aspects of an intriguing cup tie. For me it all depends on which Cas team turn out as we know Powell will have Rovers on top of there game. The cas side that Played Huddersfield turn up Fev win, the team that played Leeds turn up Cas win. The main bonus for me is whatever the result Fev will pocket around 50K that will help no end in our ambitions, much better than the last 3 seasons when we have made sod all from the cup

I really want to have a fantastic traditional day and enjoy the rugby.

History tells us that SL teams even strugglign ones should be able to overcome even the top Championship sides, which Fev certainly are.....
... You know if Fev start fast, get a couple of scores and manage to hang in the game until after half time, then it could certainly be (in the words of Fergie) squeaky bum time.

I hope it is a great game and more importantly a good day for all and the only thing we are talking about in weeks after is the next round draw.
