Guest Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 3 hours ago, Billy Bob said: By the tone and content of a lot of the comments on here it is quite evident why a merger of both clubs to form a S/L franchise will not work, majority of both sets of fans hate each other with a vengance and would not travel to a S/L club if was in Town or vice versa Haven. FORGET IT. From a few tediously inevitable comments on what is a forum of a couple of dozen fans maybe you come up with a "Majority of both sets of fans" ? Ha! A few kids and a few psycho's more like, I doubt very much its any more than a tiny tiny minded minority who "hate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember after Fifita's signing was announced a brief Internet search showed he'd only played a handful of games the previous 2 seasons,Bailey's career has gone downhill since he lost his protector Peacock,Foster was a able winger who's goal kicking,rather than ability kept him in the team and Tansey has unsuccessfully scratched around the championship for a couple of seasons looking for a contract Would this money have been better spent on 5 or 6 solid Championsjp level players aka Wilkes to get promotion and did Pryce maybe need some help identifying these players with his lack of experience at this level. That's all well and good but they're being written off after one game when in fact Penky played well , Bailey did OK , Foster before yesterday had been centre to Forrester who's the leagues top try scorer and Tansey nearly won us the game . If we weren't signing quality players we'd be moaning and as I said before they haven't got training in Widnes or somewhere..these lads are travelling for up to 6 hours return journey for training. Leon's blamed the halfbacks and although JD tried hard he seemed off his game to me, he's a quality player and will be brilliant for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itll keep them trading for another month if nowt else. Do you ever post without referring to Haven? Do you have any evidence or is it like all the other digs just in your deluded head?

I’m worried with the outlay on this team that so far we’ve yet to see an improvement or impact from either the experienced players (Wilkes apart) or the coach. It’s important to get out of this league because the RFL have zero respect for it. Hopefully we do see a rapid improvement and we can get out of it under Pryce. Honestly from what I’ve witnessed so far this season I wouldn’t be surprised if we beat Bradford at home and lose to a lesser team away the game after. Its time for the players with the experience to start using it and step up to the plate and for LP to try and convert his years of playing at the highest level into coaching and motivating the squad.

Didn't mention Penky,id put him in the Wilkes category,the other 3 well there are better,younger,less heralded players out there who would do a better job for the money they will be on.

Yeah but Leon said he wanted old heads cos "kids only get you so far" . Thats his words not mine and I think he knows considerably more about RL than I do.

Mate where did I mention kids,my point is there are good championship players that would have come for less money and improved your team more than faded ex Superleague players.

homeandawayer Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 OK you said younger. That's your opinion on our team. I'm not saying it's right or its wrong and I'm not after a debate..he thinks that's the way to go and when we click we're good but we're too inconsistent away from home at the minute. To my eyes they dont have to be the stars of the team as long as they combine with the good players we've got to improve the team..time will tell .

That is Leon's decision and we have to live with it. Despite all the flack I still think that Jordan will come good when he regains full fitness and then he could take on a different role leaving Sam to move to fullback. Suddenly the Bulls game is taking on major significance for more than one reason. I will reserve judgement until we regroup and face what could be a watershed match. In the meantime we need to address our age old problem--- how to close out a game that we have snatched from the jaws of defeat without shooting ourselves in both feet at the death.

dkw Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Jesus there's some over the top garbage being written after this defeat, a very short while after people were praising the same players after the Broncos game. It was a terrible display, work needs to be done but get a bloody grip. Tansey was excellent against the broncos for example, and has been in the other games he's played for us.

town4me Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Personally i think after a very good off season with appointmemts and signings and club promotion etc we then got off to a good start in the league and gave the championship pace setters a good game in the cup, then On the back of that possibly the expectation has gone up a bit too much. Leon pryce is finding his feet as a coach and i am certain he will want to get it right and wont carry passengers. One or two or more players need to step up but leon will have forgotten more about RL than some of us know and he will address it i am sure of that. Yesterday was bad but its like a mistake it only stays bad if you dont learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had been professional enough to manage the last set instead of coughing up the possession that allowed them to exploit our left edge vulnerability we would be celebrating the knife edge victory and Tansey would be lauded for the moment of inspiration that got the score that should have meant checkmate. Jordan's game has never been based on raw pace - he is a subtle and gifted operator with great hands, an ability to read the play and the nous to chime into the line when it has most effect. I just hope he hangs around long enough to prove the doubters wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying but The game should have been wrapped up well before the last 90 seconds I.M.O. we bottled it throughout the whole 80 minutes. Pryce has to watch the DVD and address it and i am sure he will and lets hope buffer is back next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
