It doesn't get any easier for Gary Thornton and his Dons.



Predictions?

On recent past a good close first half contest, followed by a slightly one sided second half

Featherstone 34 - The 'plucky' Dons 8. Its stop being a joke now.

only 34 for fev?

Optimism

Mind you someone on the Fev forum says Russ Spiers told him that we will get annihilated and its a trip the Dons are dreading and we would not win a single game this season.



You can't beat mind games, Fev will be worried cos no team is going to be the first one to lose against the Championships bottom club. Go Gary and the boys

Groats got 3 matches so he ain't playing Friday

With the suspension for Jack Walton, Shaun Leaf's concussion, Pas Dunn's torn calf and a return for Mike Kelly looking unlikely, we could be down to the bare bones on Friday.

3 match ban for groat

Covered in the Featherstone match thread last night ... now added to that thread (see above).

Ref C Leatherbarrow who I seem to think we have had recently? Maybe at Dewsbury?

this ref is the doggy doo of all refs.i expected nothing from this game,i expect even less now.COYD

If you're disappointed by this apppointment imagine how Fev fans are feeling, Leatherbarrow was the ref in the Battle of Blackpool, sorry Summer Bash, against Leigh and also when we got knocked out in the play-off semi final v Batley the year before last, and didn't endear himself to Fev fans on either occasions. Still, despite all our protestations, it's nearly always the players, not the referee, who decide who wins the game.
