Nothing wrong with Raynors try either, ok the tackle before was a ball steal but how far do you want to go back?



Great effort from Fev and i was cheering them on. Hopefully it will have taken a lot out of them and we can take advantage of that as we should have an `easier` game on Sunday.

True Cushy. BUT, you fail to add that if we play like we did against Swinton Fax will batter us. And without Tangi, Matty Dale, Tommy and Hardo - and recovering from a game which will have absolutely knocked 7 bells out of the lads, the task against Fax is looking increasingly more difficult.

We nearly blew it v Swinton. Thump ya tub if you want but I'm not that confident.

Leigh had a similar situation 10 years ago. Getting pipped by Wigan in the CC QF and 10k packed into Hilton Park, unbeaten in the league only to get mullered 34-4 at home the following week.



Fev were superb last night just for the defence alone. If Fax have a start next week though, I think they will win.

Especially if you play like you did last week, eh?

The video ref was spot on. Lockwoods tackle was fine Gelling should have secured the ball better, the way he held the ball going into contact was very poor technique. Thought Lockwood was outstanding, hes done really well for himself considering he was playing in the Pennine League not so long back.



Wigan also got away with a lot, not playing the ball properly throughout, forward passes from acting half, hocks elbows flying everywhere and O Loughlin constantly moving off the mark before playing the ball.



Well done Fev.

i thought Fev played great last night, so well done, hopefully you won't play like that next week

Weren't many grumbles about any of the tries from the pie eaters sat around me at the game last night.

Sounds like you played well, good on yer it is good for the Championship when Championship clubs give SL teams a good game. We all know Fev are the benchmark in this league, we are playing catch up but Rome wasnt built in a day as they say, I also wonder how long thsi Fev team will keep at its peak?

Did you think the crowd was a big as you expected?

I thought you would have got more but it was on Friday night and on Sky.

Must admit I thought at the game that the crowd would be announced as larger than 4,000 - no way on earth would they have found space for another 2,000+ in the place!

I have a mate who lives in Southport & he's a Wigan season ticket holder who was miffed that there appeared to be plenty of space in the visitors section of the crowd, yet he was only permitted a single ticket & because he doesn't drive & the logistics of getting from his workplace at teatime then back home after the match without his usual travel buddy he couldn't make the trip over. I suppose he was being critical of his own club in that respect though.

And a shared gate......
