It was always going to be a tough day against a very big & Skillful Toulouse side. Its a joke shouting for Charlo to go already, but he can only recruit if he had the cash to recruit with. personally think a couple of big hard running props would make a big difference to them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Tommy Lee wont be the answer to Havens problem! They need an out and out half back ( not a hooker turned half back ) and a couple big forwards! Great wins for Town and Barrow yesterday, great start to the season for both!

It was always going to be a tough day against a very big & Skillful Toulouse side. Both us and Barrow would love to be in that league playing the likes of Fev, Bulls and Widnes. Unfortunately the gap between the divisions is so wide none of us can compete. We need to go back to the 2 divisions and a financial level playing field. It's amazing that the likes of Dews and Batley survive in that league with very poor crowds. The 500 odd haven got yesterday was a shocker, I expected them to get double that this season. Its seems like they are suffering for last seasons success which can never be right. What's wrong with Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still stick with 3 Divisions but in this format 10 in Super League 12 in Championship 12 in League 1 And have straight promotion and relegation. Then have a development league for the 3 left from league 1 and the top Conference teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo allegedly made the props put 1.5 stone on in the off season and they are struggling with carrying it. Obviously that hasn't injured them but the likes of shacks aren't at their best because of it. So it's all Charlo's fault - poor Charlo.....

Probably not at the moment but it would put the likes of Batley,Dewsbury,Oldham,Swinton and Haven in with us and make our league more competitive between 1 to 12. But until the likes of Leigh are stopped from going or bust every season nothing will change. Also straight promotion and relegation could help as I am not a fan of playoffs and the team who has been consistent all season should go up. We need to try something as our great game needs a big shakeup before it is too late and I do not think bringing in more overseas teams is the answer.

It was actually a bit closer to home than that or I would not have put it on.Hopefully for the lad I hope his recovery is quicker but it was a very bad dislocation.

homeandawayer Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Does anybody know the last time a Town player scored 4 tries in a match? I think Cocker scored 5 against Barrow and Lowden got 4 against Hunslet. Any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Kelly and Shacks have certainly slimmed down and what I’ve seen of Riley, Walker and Coward there’s no difference in them. Too much time on their hands down the road.

I've no idea whether it's rubbish or not, but they do know the players pretty well in some cases. They have turned on Charlo already, thought he would have a bit of credit built up after last season but the knives are out.

They’re probably the ones that don’t go either. We all knew it was going to be a tough season and what lay ahead. It’s always easier to knock than support nowadays.
