If you think that squad just needs tweaking then i think you're in for a suprise. Anyway we are expecting plenty of visits from the dark side in the next few weeks but lets not go off topic. And if town win the playoffs how much tweaking will be needed and by the way had a good crack with town fans in the town after the derby and I would like to see youse win the playoffs. Be hard and there'll be some hard away games to win but you never it's certainly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some aren’t championship players plenty of others are too old and wouldn’t want to be playing in it. Between the two squads you’d struggle to pick a team that would survive a championship season Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest we've had our share of duff coaches at Haven over the last decade,I don't think anyone who knows Rugby League doubts Rooney is a very clever and knowledgable coach,that's why Haven wanted him to replace Coyle a few years back.

Its not ofter you see top of the table having the worst points 'for' in the top 6. If they cant score in C1 then they won't in the league above. Hence i see local players up for grabs for our coach if we don't make it through the playoffs. For a team that allegedly can't score ,I for one would be happy to have their points F/A and their league position.They have massively over performed this season,while we have massively under performed ,some times you have to give credit where it's due .Different animal next season in the championship,they will struggle big time ,but it's their problem to have not ours .

Geographical difference for a start. Its always been cumbrians clubs downfall. The bottom half of the championship has become a lot more competitive and the relevant players can easily get a club without having to trail upto cumbria 3/4 times a week.

Both clubs would need a big squad building exercise to survive in the championship, I said as much last season when we had a chance of going up. It's a very strong league now and is only going to get stronger. I would say you need at least 6 first choice players to even get close to surviving. Do haven have the money for that?

That team had the good fortune of having the class of Lester,Fats,Leroy,Penny & Tandy to compliment the locals,somehow I doubt Haven have the funds to replicate that team.

silverfox Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Give credit where its due ,If Whitehaven do win the league which looks likely . Good look to them ,its not long ago that most of them were playing for Town and we were singing there names from the terracing . . We have just to concentrate on ourselves and hope we get promoted . For a long time now people have been saying that the amateur scene in Cumbria is in decline . well if Town did go up . and we watched a better standard of Rugby .maybe it would ignite lads, wanting to get into playing .A lot of junior teams cant raise a team some weeks, so the matches are cancelled. this cannot carry on for the future of Rugby League . So what I would like to see in the future is all THREE teams in a higher division to keep the rivalry going between the Clubs . Come on Town you can do it ,UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town blue Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The topic of this forum is 'THORMAN' not Rooney or haven. IMO Chris is the best coach we have had since Walsh and we should bust a gut to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marrafan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 A lot of people wrote us off this season and we’re now being told we’ve overachieved etc etc. No one that follows Haven expects anything other than a dogfight next season if we go up. The Championship is a different level but one that we want to see. Hopefully if we do go up we can survive. We will need players everyone knows that. I’m sure you would all be saying the same if Town was in this position. As a supporter I will just be happy to be out of this league as I’m sure everyone of you would be. I didn’t expect this at the start of the season but I’m delighted to be here. I couldn’t care less about points difference, the points won are the main thing and at this moment in time we have won more points than any one else in the league. Good luck for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
