I think it’s fair to say you won’t be disappointed then

Think a lot of people don't realise the standard of rugby played  in the NCL Premiere division, sadly he will be rusty as the Brow haven't played against the top teams in over 18 months,

Are you talking about Curtis? We were talking about Dec coming back from London.

It's a great shame Callum is still not a town player. The rec shuffle them jam fans can't half clear a stadium rapido

Marcus O'brien 2 game ban. One we didn't want to lose!

[dkw]

It's getting ridiculous the bans we get.

RFL , they love us …

[Havenfan10]

Only 2 shocking tackle he's a lucky boy.

Jamie Doran has been given a 9 match ban for lifting the trophy up in an incorrect way not approved by RFL guidelines

The game is going soft. Players will be throwing themselves to the ground before long , as if they have been poleaxed just to get a player sent off, just like in football. .Cheating is definitely coming into the game .And with the rules thats been issued ,before long we might as well play touch rugby

Totally agree . Cheating is becoming a big factor , players used to pride  themselves on getting up , now they stay down . Players  throwing their arms around and trying to influence officials is also more prevalent . The game is also over sanitised and over officiated now

Pleased about the fixture as hopefully it'll draw a big crowd and show how well supported Cumbria RL is, shame about the day and time though! Would of been much better being on the Saturday  !

Could easily have won both pre season games by 20pts apparently. So no need to panic.

Well what a surprise, the great haven team humbled by a league 1 team. Must have been cos Swinton had more subs, or haven were rusty, or were they missing players, or was the grass too long/short....

Think it was more to do with sloppy play & unforced errors which often occurs  preseason games,especially when you have new combinations in the spine positions.

Next week’s opener against a Leigh team with a Superleague budget is really just another chance to work on these things with Barrow at home the real start to the season for Haven.

I don’t think many Haven fan thinks the team is “great” but it should barring injuries(suspension have enough to avoid finishing in the bottom 2 which should be the first target.

Anyways good luck for the season ahead (except in the 3 games V Haven) & I hope young Curtis continues his development at this level.
