Lightowler, Steele, Scholey Henson, O'Brien Doran, Thomas, Bickerdike and I'd like to try Hutchings at centre Forber a tricky one as has improved his game in latter half of season and got a lot of respect for him but feel we need a fresh scrum half (Walker?). Outside that we need an injection of pace, nous and size - only have to look at how Ferguson smashed us last week. Players I would like to get back...... Have I missed anyone? Well pretty certain you can scrub fitzy off that list, he’s off to york by all accounts the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with those apart from Oscar Thomas. He can go for me. Would like Evan Simmons to stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REX Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Would like to see Mossop back. Another of the coach's bewildering decisions to get rid of him and then bringing in the useless Davies twins. If Chris stays on next season. Have an open mind about that, but think on the basis of what I've heard reported on here, he could do with a couple of training courses... communication skills to improve man management, and recruitment decision making.

I think the club has to think long and hard about if CT is the right coach to take the club forward and out of the present situation, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David69 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Think all newcastle players etc will go back to newcastle as they go part time next year again? Like marwood back. Edited August 27, 2022 by David69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Think it might be a struggle to bring back any players who left, they'll of got used to enjoying playing amateur again and being able to have a social life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMac Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 To be perfectly honest, given the Facebook post today that the club put out with comments such as the short term future of the club is still not guaranteed, and if we get through this season, I’m not too fussed who the coach will be or which players are wearing the blue and white as long as there is still a club in existence next season. I think given the predicament the club are in, coupled with the likely structural changes after next year we are in for a decidedly rocky couple of years. Here’s hoping we come out of it with a club still to support. UTT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven Rugby League Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think we have seen the end of Newcastles resurgence, by all accounts they were forecasting on being promoted this year hence why there owner is cutting costs. I can only see them going one way as a part-time team. As for there academy there is one maybe two Cumbrians over there now at U15s level there’s been a massive drop of. A lot of them are now going to the Hull FC (Lee Crooks) lead development training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the cumbria academy disbanded it seemed the only option was for players to travel to newcastle for their academy. If Hull are prepared to spend time and money running games and coaching sessions in whitehaven I think its fair enough that the ones who stand out get offered scholarships actually in Hull Academy. I genuinely can't see what the issue is until town and haven get their heads together and run some sort of academy team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, Whitehaven aren't getting a lot out of this agreement with Hull are they, as the top players are still going out the county again, if only anyone with any sense at both clubs had copied the Barrows Jets programme, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it gives kids an alternative to spending endless hours in a car travelling to academies that will then cherry pick. It’s a shame Town turned down the opportunity of making it a West Cumbria one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
