Quite clearly some issues not being addressed for whatever reason, 76 -0 fev .

Even then Finn would still be proud of the players efforts.

Nah. You need to look at both teams. We (Fev) are very much in rebuild, spent less than half of last year and struggling mightily with absentees too (Springer, Aikens, Lacans, Hardcastle, Massey, Tanner all missing currently). Fev were poor at Whitehaven and lucky to win, and have some glaring areas of weakness at the moment.

Not saying Fev won't win but this is nothing like the Fev team of recent years, as I say we're very much in rebuild mode and don't have the galaxy of stars to come in when injuries strike as in the last couple of years.

Well it's going to be a classic then..I can't wait..

That's the spirit!

Luke Hooley, Batley/Leeds/Castleford now in Fev's squad. Lol!

Fev 40 Fax 4

Playing a loose forward in the second row, at loose forward and a SL second row as 18th man.............

Not sure if the boys running the twitter feed are on one but another game with several bombed chances ?! But this is a new low to concede 18 points with 20 mins left against 12 men. A*** well and truly fallen out in all our defeats, not like they have been close (19, 26, 46, 18 & 20). Only York are worse considering their spend but not like we have had a net loss of talent, maybe apart from Walmsley. 10 games I gave Finn - A comfortable loss at York and surely it has to be curtains. We are shipping points for fun, 2nd worst defence and THE WORST ATTACK. Can you hope for the tide to change? Lets not forget that 3 of our competitive wins were against two amateur sides and Rochdale. There hasn't been a wholesale turnover in the squad. He talks effort etc but clear regression thus far.

Did anyone on this forum actually go to the game - I didn't. I'd be interested to hear from someone who actually saw the game - coverage on twitter did come across a lot more positive until last quarter. Did Douglas look OK, does Barber look fit enough to start, and just what is happening with Crooks? Listened to Finns pre game injury update and had less idea after it than before.

I didn’t attend the game but have spoke to some individuals who did . Positives were Douglas n Keyes , obviously there is some big changes to be made . Personally I’m really struggling to get interested in this season as a whole. I can’t get my head round how a side can already be promoted before a ball is kicked . I have no doubt the intentions of everyone at the club are good however I believe this img concept is merely a carrot being dangled and that superleague is a closed shop . If I was a billionaire I would re name the sport and split from the current model like they did when league split from union , players would play the sport as it was when it was gladiatoral and no one would be excluded based on some ridiculous box ticking exercise , it’s perhaps the most absurd set of parameters ever invented. The best rugby league can be in its current form is watching an old movie where you already know what happens, not sure how many times I’d watch that movie though.
