Just getting our excuses in early:

Should be a comfortable win for your boys, we haven't even got 17 fit players at the mo. Especially problematic is at half back, we haven't got any.

Only our miserly defence can save us from a real drubbing. Reckon you'll do us by up to 20.

Who's out injured ?

Thackray, Briggs, Channing, Snitch, Roche, Wildie, Davies, Cooper

If we don't get any Rhinos, we won't have a full 17.

None of them have "flu" btw

Ah,that's tough i'm assuming Thackray/briggs are your first choice halves.Have to say on another note Gareth Moore has been exceptional so far for us.

Aye that's right. We'll have Danny Craven in the halves who is not too shabby, but is really a full back.

Typical that Moore would rip it up for you, he was dog sheeite for us for all of his tenure, except for the final against London last year when he was on fire.

Danny's decent and a halfback in my book.As for predictions i'l go
Fev 14-32 Fax.This is assuming our defence turn up in second half at Oldham it was embarressingly dreadful and i don't buy into the excuses.
Not a great fan of Leigh are you

Scoreline sounds about right, although obviously I'll be hoping you fall apart again in the 2nd half.

Just the current regime at Leigh. I gave generously last time they had the buckets out and previously had a lot of time for them.

Still think Fev will put out a good team. Saw highlights against London and you look have a good team. Craven as we know is a talent. Dual reg with Leeds to call on if I am not mistaken. Some of injuries could be back so wouldn't fall for that one.

Well if Homers right about a Fev I jury crisis I will go for a Fax win of Fev 18 v Fax 24 ,but Fac could come unstuck as it's never easy at Fev, and I always like seeing a happy smiling Halifaxjohn and Bentleyman.UTFAX.

All long term injuries except Davies who could be back if he passes the concussion test.

The only DR we can expect is Baldwinson who seems a semi permanent fixture. One ray of hope is that Jordan Lilley isn't in the rhinos squad this week.

Even with these two, we are at barebones.

Unfortunately Homer is correct, info here: [urlhttp://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpress.co.uk/sport/featherstone-rovers/injury-ravaged-rovers-stretched-to-the-limit-1-7825516[/url

And just to make Charlie happy for the Leigh/Fev game later on Briggs and Thackeray will be out another 6-8 weeks with Wildie being out all year (so really struggling at half back).

i Just hope we are competitive, but can't see a Fev win in this one, even though I have predicted on the Bradford forum (my heart won't let me back against my own team).

To everyone going to the game a safe journey over and enjoy the game. However as John has already pointed out I can't make the game. But hope to meet up with my Fax friends at the Shay later in the year.

Just an advisory too:

Can't remember if it was in operation when you visited last year, but you can't now pay cash at the turnstile.

There's a ticket office in the car park where you need to go first. Don't leave it until the last 15 mins before kick off, the queue will be mahoosive.

Better still, buy them in advance from featherstonerovers.net
