Why’s he got to be local? If he’s better, we will be a better team if he’s from flimby or Sydney it makes little difference 

Read it properly.

if he isn’t better and he isn’t local is a problem.

if he isn’t better but he is local I’d give more leeway on my opinion.

Penky isn’t going to Leigh, he’s turned them down.

This talk of Penky and Hock going to Leigh is rubbish. They're both contracted, so would cost money. Plus they've been reported for tapping up Duffy by Fev. They terminated Duffy's contract

Newton to be unveiled by haven tomorrow I believe

You won't have long to wait marra, he will be announced tomorrow, all the best to him. 

[The Voodooguru]

Yeah he'd told a lad at work he was signing this week, so no real surprise. Thanks and good luck to him.

Yeah it defo is mate. Gutted tbh, really liked newts, but I’m sure 2 minutes into the ike game when he’s pulling his usual tricks we’ll soon hate him again lol. Plus the players were set to announce very shortly will soften the blow big time. 

[GeordieTownie]

Pity but you can’t question his commitment to Town when he played. 

[Worky123]

I hope we have someone joining who's just as good 

[town4me]

I think we have to go with LP 's judgement on this one. He obviously wants  to try something different from last season in that area.

Good player but Haven would be better off spending what money they have on a big prop,they have already got good options at hooker with Dowsett and Wilkinson

Was thinking that as well marra, got more hookers than a brothel now. 

[homeandawayer]

I wouldn't say I'm gutted. He was useful to give Penky a rest and busy but you kept thinking get Penky back on.

I would agree with that as they don't look a big side given their  signings  so far. Although  His tactics will probably be wanting them to go around teams on the edges rather than through teams down the middle.

You can't be on about the same Gary Charlton who coached us then? He gets the absolute most out of every player but his whole tactic was 1 man rugby down the middle with the 4 biggest lads  Correct,Forward players, big pack, down the middle and we had 5 years of it at Town..

[The Vet]

From an outsider and these players jump from Town to Haven or vice versa is the money so dramatically higher?if I was a player and the £ was a few hundred lower but the craic was far better at whichever club I wouldn’t move, surely when your playing League 1 the wages can’t be much different or can they?

[ameliasdaddy]

I don’t believe it was money the main reason, the lad just wants to play and it sounds like he’s been told he’ll get less chance at town. Personally I’d have kept him and am disappointed he’s gone.

 

Good luck to him apart from in 3 games this season, tidy player with faultless commitment and effort.
