The Voodooguru Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The pedantic ref tried to spoil the game as a spectacle. But despite being down to 12 for a quarter of the game the lads dug deep and got their rewards. Enjoyed the game with all the new lads showing up well, particularly Walker who deserved his mom. Although rusty we look good down the spine with good options. I think we wanted it more in the end, and I'd be disappointed with some of my team if I'd come from the Jam to watch them after Jonty was blabbering on about respecting the Ike. Tom walker played well, as did their 23 & 30 both the props are big units who ran it in well and got them rolling a couple of times. I laughed at Brui being called Elton John by the popular side, thats some haircut But what's happened to Callum? He was a shadow of the player he once was. Didn't look interested considering who he was playing against. Thought we looked fitter and defended very well considering our squad is so inferior to the Haven superstars. Our lads showed a real desire which was good to see and its great to have it back again UTT! The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

That’s the scary thing and shows how bad we are because if seen the standard we play at and today was nothing but short of ###### poor I do like your optimism chief , but we’ve only played once and aren’t up to full speed either . And I take it youve been training ? Truth be told the way you were talking and with what you had out there you should have just turned up and swept us away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference between town fans and you is that we know that we have a long hard season to come and will need plenty of luck with injuries and the bounce of a ball and hopefully a couple more signings to bolster the squad. One season of competing in the championship and you seem to think that your top of the table material. Today we had youngsters playing who played for the shirt and out enthused your team of superstars. UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Winthorpe Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Peter Smith certainly wasn't biased on the radio. He sounded like a Town supporter today unlike previous times as a summariser. Chris said another signing next week and one the week after? Commentator reckoned a crowd of 17 or 1800. What had been announced. Seemed a good watch and was delighted we got the cup back.

No 25, and he could tackle. Following on from last season the public address system on the popular side was total rubbish. I don't think any speakers were working. Considering the majority stand under the popular side roof I think the least we can expect is to hear who's selected and who's coming on and off. Loads complaining at half time with access to the toilets and smoking area cordoned off till the players were all safely in the bar!, new changing area. When I asked a woman who was part of the security why it was cordoned off she said "We're protecting the players" The backlog of people waiting to get to the Derwent end must have been 100. If any were wanting the toilets, well panic stations. This woman said this was going to be permanent. Well it was a shambles. As for the result well done lads hanging in there to pull off the win. They are changing in the new gym because of covid, away team get the changing rooms out of courtesy. Last year they changed in the bar. It’s not permanent.

wonky Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The haven fans on here are laughable, yous have just been controlled by a 17 year old who made your half backs look like there the ones who were playing for seaton last season. Simmons completely outclasses the haven hookers and even though we didn’t make great ground down the middle we finished off most our chances whereas havens last tackle attack was generally to run from dummy half into towns best defenders. Wait until we add Dec and a prop and we’ll be a much better outfit. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townie88 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just back in from the game. chuffed to bits but not getting carried away. Bookies had us +16 and to be honest I thought that was fair and what I was expecting. Yes, haven had their 1st hit out. But that side, plus their new aussie additions were meant to be 'stronger'than last seasons squad and we matched them plus some. A good yard stick for everyone that we won't be cut adrift from the rest this season and will be able.to compete with the bottom half of the champ. Special mention to young walker! Excellent game. Reminded me of the debut callum phillips had against haven years ago. Very encouraging. Liked how Simmons went and I love seeing how bickerdike has come on in a short space of time. Don't envy chris having to pick a 17! Havens best was the new half back by a country mile. Referee we shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
