Even though Fev seem in a bit of a rut at the moment, to put 9 tries on them at post office road is no mean feat. Although I think Nobby will be disappointed to have conceded 4 tries.
Hopefully that will be a good confidence booster after a tough few weeks. The league is wide open this year.
After three straight defeats, we’re finally back on track with a much-needed win. We scored some great tries and, with a bit more focus and composure, could have had plenty more. That said, the amount of points we conceded is a bit of a concern, especially against a poor Featherstone side.
Still, a win’s a win, and it’s always satisfying to get one over this lot. Plenty to work on, but hopefully, this is the start of some momentum heading into the next few games.
Nice to see us play rugby where we string more than two passes together. Playing on a dry track on a proper sized field seems to suit us far more than playing on a postage stamp sized mud heap against a team prepared to slow down the ruck and rile up our dafter players. Can I swap my season ticket for one that just covers away games?
For once we didn't miss Scurr. Fev lacked any punch up the middle so we controlled things there and there was no niggle so we didn't get sucked into the usual rubbish. The ref was decent - he'll be in SL before long - (miles better than Mikolauskas). As said above we could've had more with a bit of composure. Pele and Michael should have held on after making breaks instead of throwing the ball away. Fev's right edge defence was woeful and Gill and Armitage had a field day. Thought Meadows had a great game for us apart from the sin bin - not sure what he was complaining about after his kick ended up as a Fev try. Lilley diving out of dummy half was impressive. Okunbor defended well on our right side. Fev got a few tries but at least one was a bit fortuitous with the bounce of the ball but both teams had that.
Overall much better. We just need to use this as a benchmark and work out how to be effective at Odsal.
