Chris seems to think Oscar Thomas is a mix of Jonathan Thurston and Billy Slater and everything goes through him, but our second half ‘ plan ‘ was hoofing it up in the air on last tackle .

Peter Winthorpe Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Well didn't sound great on the radio. Living 400miles away I am coming down next week, to coincide with my family having a holiday in the Lakes. It would be Leigh. I don't know what to expect and was not intending to bring my car to the ground so I could join you all for a couple of pints after Do Leigh bring much support and from some of these posts many maybe missing from the people who post each game on this forum. I will be there and would like some company. Then again I'm on pension and can get the lower rate something I have never bothered with up to know.

I'm sure the last one, their player was standing under the sticks before he kicked it. No TV review so nothing to lose so relying on a useless TJ to wipe it off which was never gonna happen. Even so, you don’t have to be a RL oracle to know where the ball is going on last tackle when they have Smith at scrum half. We didn’t even try to close him down or get in his face. He had all the time and space he needed to make the kicks he wanted to under no pressure at all. Bemuses me, when you have a player like that in opposition somebody should be the delegated rusher to close him down and hit him. Even if you give a couple of penalties away it’s worth it. 1 I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding it harder and harder to get motivated to go on a Sunday these days, I have never been as disheartened and that's Thormans doing, in the past would we of hung onto a coach as long as this after such a run of losses ??? And to top it off if what was being said in the ground about the new French lads is quite frankly embarrassing. I didn't want to go today but I can't ever remember not going to a home game if it was at all possible, but next week I'd be an idiot to go. There'll be some on here saying stick with them and you're only harming the club not going but I'm sick of the garbage being served up and I've seen coaches like him come and go who take no responsibility for it...and as I've said I was bored! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come in tha Station Rd club before the game Peter, plenty long suffering fans in there, you wont be short of company and most of us try and not get too depressed about our predicament. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I might get a response from a snappy chap who calls us fellow forum friends "keyboard warriors".....wow the cheek - tell you what mate I've been a Townie for 60+ years - never been involved in any form of sponsorship, or other stuff, with our main rivals Whitehaven. 100% loyal to Town and never will divert from that (even after this seasons team efforts) so don't wave your finger and call me a KW....I'm more committed to Workington Town RLFC then you'll ever be marra. And during those so many decades I have seen some poor Town squads struggle as best they could. So many coaches have fallen by the wayside via poor results, it's a poisoned chalice - but despite this seasons dross, I have seen worse, honestly. I had a feeling prior to this Widnes game that we would sneak a win. My hopes were diluted prior to kick off on hearing Caine Barnes was in Croatia (on holiday?) and the new French recruits had failed to have visas correctly stamped - the Catalans club accept responsibility for this problem and have (possibly) suggested other players could be made available through proper channels (pardon pun).....no matter it's now too late to aid Town's relegation struggle. Like some have said today turned into quite a boring episode of Worky 2022. The Widnes outfit were slicker and faster, we hadn't a flippin' clue how to break down their defence. I've said enough......for now........I'll keep paying my admission fee..BTW well done Haven today, up the "keyboard warriors", and UTT.

Totally agree boring, no leader, lacking any idea in attack same boring play, out enthused in defence. Getting harder to watch/listen to week in week out all the while the man in charge is stealling a living telling us he's not worried and has total confidence things will change. Who else thinks Thorman should stand down ??? I was a big Thorman fan especially after last season, definitely talks the talk but really isn't delivering on the field, hearing a couple of our better players are going back to there amateur clubs next year regardless due to Thormans man management skills.

Thorman would be sacked by any other club, but knows he’s safe as doing so would cost the club a fortune. I’m glad I don’t get to any games as I feel for the guys who pay there hard earned money especially when things are tight That would be me that I’ll continue to spend my time and shout .

Bearintown Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Couldn't go today luckily But I've thought for a few weeks now that it's time to accept our fate. Stop wasting money on 2 weekloans and players that a blind man could see arny good enough just for the sake of it Either save the money till next year or start signing good quality 1st division players who can stay with us in the coming 1st division campaign And for gods sake look for a quality half back!!!!!!!

Neutralfan7 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Really feel for you guys as fans, to be nilled is never a nice feeling. Just off here reading about the French lads must be frustrating not getting them out on the pitch when they could improve the team. Was hoping both Haven and Town managed to survive but London looked to of turned a bit of a corner so now looking impossible I'm afraid.

Whilst nobody can ever criticise the efforts of volunteers of the club for what they do. This does not mean the PAID members off staff are exempt from criticism when under performing. Im sure there's alot on here who kept the club alive over the last two years with not accepting ST refunds, paying into fan led initiatives, 'virtual pints' etc etc. Come down and follow your local team.
