Please no. Isn't that journalist a Halifax fan? Hopefully he's just trolling us.

There's a couple of anomalies in that report.







So is Chalmers in Australia, scouting players at the World Cup (as he himself said) and meeting with Toovey whilst there (as the T&A reported), or was he at Tong last week addressing the players? Can't both be true...







What???? Surely that can't be right? Isn't it more the case that the Fev chairman decided not to renew the contract for 2018, and they agreed a pay-off so they could get him to leave immediately? I find it hard to believe that any club would hand a coach a contract that ended part way through the season (especially given the way that Toovey has sat on his contract until November, and everyone has been saying that its the norm because that's when all contracts end)



Given these anomalies, how confident are we that the rest of the story is accurate?

Video conference call?

You think we're that tech savvy?



I can just imagine the squad all clustered around one smart phone.

We were once sponsored by the biggest computer company in the world - mind, there's plenty of stuff that we once were......

Andrew Chalmers arrived back yesterday afternoon, so he definitely didn't address the players at Tong last week.



Everything is good and building for a successful 2018.

Underwhelming and somewhat worrying given some of the rumours within RL about him.



Deemed not good enough to take Fev from top 4 to genuinely challenging for SL. Wonder what our aspirations are as a club?

He was never going to take Featherstone to super league. No one was though. Not lending 4 leeds players everyweek and the budget they was spending.



Think people are forgetting we are in league 1. He can get us out of league 1 and spend a couple of seasons getting us to top 4. After that we make a decision.

I don’t think anyone is forgetting what league we are in. Personally I don’t feel like we should just be happy to have anyone because we are in L1. Personally I hope it’s just papertalk and we have a few other options in the mix. Perhaps a decent up and coming coach who really wants to make a name for themselves... oh hang on.. we sacked him off for super coach Toovey!!

Sounds like its a done deal. Guess its a wait and see job. You can make a case for and against him. Hope Lee Greenwoood is his assitant.

He is, but Aaron bower has been on Twitter saying he's heard similar and I trust his opinion, and that toovey is not coming back.



Really not sure about this appointment if true.

Looks like its all done https://twitter.com/M_Shaw1/status/930551354086641666
