It is more important to beat Fev in the League than in the Cup, but even with players rested this 19 can do the job! Hats off to Hendo for getting such a solid squad. (and that is without Stapleton and Lovegrove)

Atomic, I was not suggesting we would get a fixture against Catalan.



It was suggested by the press at another club that London Broncos suffered from Catalan Dragons syndrome in that we did not travel well

On a Featherstone site, they feel that we will be a pushover, with Wes out, Slyney and Ioane not included, we have no kicker and no props.

Let them under estimate us. Do they not understand we have a squad for this very reason.

Be nice to see Israel getting his debut, let us hope he has a winning start.

On a London site, they feel that we (Fev) are "not the team we were".

Let them under estimate us.

May the best side win! Izzy Wizzy let's get busy!

What will be interesting is to see how many Featherstone fans the game attracts.

It being a late kick off and having a league fixture the week after and a live feed to the clubhouse will conspire to reduce the away support.

Still it will be nice for us to be able to bring out the old chestnut for once. DID YOU ALL COME IN THE SAME CAR !!!!!!!!!!!

Which London site? I don't think anyone on here is assuming anything. Our performances have not been brilliant so far, we have had to grind out the wins. I would not suggest that Hendo or the club did not have as much focus on the CC but with the 2 games over easter coming up it might be safe to say that may have had an effect on selection.

Exactly. Should be an interesting game, both teams look to be without 3 or 4 regulars (Briggs, Ellis, Wildie & Snitch the absentees for Fev, not sure if our captain Tim Spears will still be out), but both teams still look strong. One thing that often seems to happen in our league is that what happens one week is often no guide to what will happen later between the same two teams (look at the home & away games between our two clubs last year), so whatever Saturday's result the League game might be a different matter.

This one, and this thread! The original poster in this thread made the comment about this being a winnable game & Fev not being the team they were, then the same poster mentioned posts from our forum suggesting London would be a pushover (nobody used that word incidentally). It's a tough game to call, for me.

Yes, because of the Featherstone Lions game the travelling support from Fev for this specific game will probably be the smallest in recent history - we actually took more over to Catalans last year for the Cup game than we are likely to bring on Saturday, the Lions are a very important part of the rugby league fabric in the town.



And yes, AFAIK there isn't a supporters' coach coming down, so feel free to use the taxi jibe!

London has the patent for the 'taxi Jibe'

think of your own!!!
