town4me Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I dont think there will be a lot in the derby on sunday. I will be suprised if haven slip up now but whats the prize for a cumbrian club, a season long relegation scrap plenty of hammerings and locals who get *issed off coz travellers get picked every week. In its current set up i think that league is beyond any cumbrian club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the current Haven squad would have a good go in the league above, it's just a few of the older heads might not fancy it, which might mean a bit of rebuilding, but that will happen anyway. I say good luck to them (except on Sunday of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So should both clubs abandoned hope & ambition and be content with bumbling along in a division that is being threatened with being cut adrift and stripped of central funding. A club has to have ambition and a plan to move forward or what is the point of existing,I'd rather see a team strive for promotion even if it results in failure at that level and with the constant restructuring by the RFL who knows what the composition of the Championship/League 1 will be going forward.

They will without doubt bring in about half a dozen out of county players. 11 minutes ago, Davo5 said: So should both clubs abandoned hope & ambition and be content with bumbling along in a division that is being threatened with being cut adrift and stripped of central funding.

Yes of course you need to have ambition and drive to play at a higher level my point was with the current set up its very difficult for the cumbrian clubs up there. Look no further than barrow.

Where as no doubt if we were the ones nearly promoted ,you would no doubt banging on about how we would compete in the championship.If promoted until you see their recruitment then impossible to say how they would do, other than in a league with 4 or 5 full time teams it's always going to be tough.

DavidM Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I’d give owt to get out of this league and into the championship . Yes it’s bloody tough but it’s a hell of a lot better to watch and compete in week in week out . This league is dying a slow death , it’s getting more n more detached , and the championship is the place to be . What’s the point in playing if you don’t wanna go for it . More money , better recruits ... who knows ? The teams right at the foot are hardly stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I cant see how any of the cumbrian clubs couldn't compete at the same level as a Batley, Dewsbury, Halifax etc. Yes, they would need to rebuild with a few additions. But to often we put the area down. There is defiantly championship level players in this county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch how many players switch clubs if Barrow and Whitehaven switch divisions next season, Whitehaven will have to do something very different if they are to survive in the championship, be interesting to see if the "Build local" strategy continues into next season.

Long way to go before being promoted yet 2 huge games coming up saying that last 3 where huge games aswell . Could easily finish 3rd yet . League would have been wrapped up now if it wasn't for last min draw against Newcastle and last min defeat against North Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lost the plot at every club he's been at. We have a similar character on our books talented but totally unreliable......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows Caine isn't a centre. But has filled the gap when needed. With Haven having two strong centres in Taylor and JJP. Id look to put him in there.

DavidM Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I remember an NRL second row who was shifted to centre saying that in the second row people run at you , whereas in the centre people are trying to run round you , and it was the lateral movement that was a big difference .

ivans82 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It will take a massive effort to win at Haven this week , they know a win on Sunday and the leagues theirs ( Keighley away wont be a problem for them , probably have the smallest pack in the league ) ,doubt they will throw it away now .
