He’d have got plenty of game time but as it is we are without a specialist back up hooker, albeit we are not likely to pick anyone up of the same class as Penky.

DavidM Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’ll be really interested to see what Leon does on Friday with Farrell in the mix . He’s talking him up and nudging the others in his interview , which can’t be a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the hooker situation is a major stumbling block in any serious promotion ambition. There is no doubt that Penky still has the X factor when he makes it onto the park but that's been a big "when" so far. Having no recognised back - up at 9 is hard to fathom - Karl always gives 100%wherever he plays but he simply isn't a hooker. Let's just hope that home advantage gives us the edge on Friday...... U.

ivans82 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Think the derbies these days are mainly for the players than the fans .Long gone are the days when most players were dyed in the wool Town/Haven one club players .For instance 8 of the Haven starting 13 against Hunslet were once Townies never mind the coaching staff ....As for Friday depends on who we have available , will Penky appear , will Olly have recovered from his injury from Friday ? I actually prefer us going into the match having played last week rather than having a fortnight off , good weather forecast so let`s hope for a decent crowd and a decent result UTT.

silverfox Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 We played the Whitehaven at the start of the season ,we could easily have put 50 on them that day think the ref tried to equal it up with some decisions in the 2nd half , We get stuffed at Leeds ,but remember Rochdale got stuffed at Salford by nearly the same score and that's the team that beat Whitehaven in the previous round , So why do people think Whitehaven will have to much for us . if Town play to there potential we should be ok .

unicorn106 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Most of us were really looking forward to this game at the start of the season but probably not so much now. Injuries to key players the London debacle and Fridays hammering have knocked most fans confidence. Add to that havens unexpected league position I would imagine we are going into Fridays game as underdogs which nobody expected a couple of months ago. The London defeat means we have to win every home game this season and also pick up another away win against one of the top six to stay in contention. I cant see any other of the top six losing at London. If we can get Penky and Olly on the field in decent condition then I still think we have too much forward power for them and would hope along with the home backing we can still win this one, if those two don't play it will be a tough day for us. I would like to think that haven have maybe been punching above their weight and are due a reality check, then again I thought that last year and we all know what happened.

DavidM Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I can’t be agreeing that we’re underdogs . We should be favourites to beat everyone here . For some strange reason this game does get into our heads a bit much , but if we play like most games here we have more than them. That’s the if though .... play the game not the occasion . They really have nothing we haven’t seen or know or anything that scares you . For everything we were rubbish last year and should still have won both games . I think after the last fortnight Leon will be right into them to get out there and put it right . In fact I know he will be . I’d be very surprised if they came here and won . And if we have any ambitions to get promoted they shouldn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you didn't marra that's the reality check if you remember haven weren't great in both games either what I will say is people say as stated above we have nothing to fear from haven well I hope that dosn't bite you in the butt Friday we are a compete different team to the one you beat convincingly in January but that was a team with most players playing there first game for the club with amateurs and only trained together for a couple months prior. Instead of saying how you should have too much for haven lets see if town can deliver on Friday I will be first on here to congratulate all of you make no mistake this isnt the side you played 4 months ago and the league position tells you that. Saying this you are favorites and expected to win at home with the money you are throwing around you should be in our position in the league and we shouldn't be anywhere near the top.

GeordieTownie Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I’d say Haven are paying not far off as much it’s a bigger squad with less quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
