WHITEHAVEN played their only game in June against Dewsbury at the weekend, losing 28-14.
The Cumbrians are currently on a run of just two matches over seven weekends, but coach Anthony Murray has seen it as a positive in their current situation.
He said: “You don’t normally want such a long break halfway through the season, but it has probably done us a bit of good.
“We had a lot of lads carrying niggles, we’ve had some long-term injuries, so it came at a good time for us.
“We had a bit of time off, came back into it over the last fortnight and had some really tough sessions.
“As much as it can be a hindrance at times, some times it can work the other way and we’ve tried to use the other way and be positive about it.”
