Fev Through the Ages: Second Rows

Here are the 10 Fev players who have made the most appearances at Second Row. 

Funny how the memory plays tricks. My memories of Peter Smith are as a brilliant ball handling loose forward. I was surprised to find that he made far more appearances in the second row!

Please note that the 'Fev Years' column' refers to the first and last years that the player appeared in this position.

For Rugby League statisticians it always causes difficulties when two players have the same name. None more so than the name Chris Smith. We have four of those in our records and that is just the records of players in the summer era!

Through time there are a number of repeat names in our Featherstone database. George Johnson, Tommy Smales and Joe Evans are just three of those.

Do you know the significance of these matches?

In those 18 matches Fev took to the field with a second row pairing of Gary Price and Gary Price! A commentator's nightmare! They were known as Gary H and Gary S. Gary H because his middle name is Howard and Gary S because his nickname was Slugger.

There were, of course, other matches when they were on the field at the same time but the list above is when they started together in the second row.
