HP Beans Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Our first Cumbrian Derby of the season,a tough trip up to the Recreation ground. I think it may be a tight game hopefully we will take a decent following up and cheer the lads to a win.
Raiderfan67 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Be a tough game this. Haven will be well up for it. Should give us a clear idea of how we are gonna go this season though

steve75 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Leigh moved the ball quickly and Whitehaven couldn't cover the plays, and as POR says the tackling was woeful.
pennington Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Just like last week this game is very important, it’s potentially a relegation 4 pointer. If we beat Whitehaven and then Newcastle at home it would put us on 6 points. The teams that got relegated last year only had 5 points so I think that puts us in a very good position for the season. Whitehaven will be a tough game as they need the win just as much as us, but I think we will win. I shall go for Whitehaven 12-26 Barrow and Miloudi first try scorer.

RSN Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Massive game this, win and we go into Newcastle with huge confidence whilst if we lose we are probably still wondering where we are as a team. Scoreline last week didn't look great for Haven but Leigh have invested heavily so hard to tell if Leigh were just fitter, faster and stronger or Whitehaven were poor based off highlights. Without sounding too confident we looked really good last week. Hopefully Sammut and S Toal come back soon as they'll make us significantly stronger.
BarraFan Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Looking forward to watching the game, think we will win they were awful last week, hopefully sammut will be back and then rest Johnson/ Carter, good strong running from our fwds last week

That's it pal just fitter, faster and stronger we actually defended pretty well but the back too one re starts killed us there must've been about 20 in the game. Should be a close game on Sunday I'll go 24 - 18 Haven.

I’d say for most of the game we wer tackling bud there’s a lot of teams that will go to Leigh and concede a lot more than 50 points marra imagine tackling a full time side for 80 mins and at times being down to 10 men takes some doing that

It should be more evenly matched on Sunday and I am looking forward to it! Let's hope it's a good game!
mickmike wilson Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Tougher game than a few here are expecting, Most teams will look inferior against clubs like Leigh & Fev, Especially when players are sat in sin bin. Hope we play smart & don’t get dragged into any derby day dust ups & play the percentages & triumph, As that will be an fantastic start to the season.

mickmike wilson Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Can any tell us how dominant we are or are we just clinical with our chances, wind for or against us etc?
walneyite Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Twitter image showed horrendous rain and win and it looked like we we’re running into it. Next image sun shining clear sky. Good old Cumbrian weather. Stack got yellow on hf time so man down first 10 of second half.
walneyite Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Looks like they’re getting hit by golf balls now . Hail n wind still 18-0 to barrow.
mickmike wilson Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Fantastic start to the season & surely it will encourage a few hundred more fans to our next home game, We’ll done all.
