I backed Chris when others were doubting the lack of size in our pack this time last year thinking if we were going straight back down (which was likely) it would be playing attractive, inventive rugby. Boy was I wrong! So for me I really hope we play none of the boring blunt stuff from last season even if it means risking a defeat by trying to win. 2 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

He kept saying earn the right to play in their half but when we did it went to Thomas and that was the end of any chance of scoring. Our only real attacking weapon/playmaker Doran might as well have been on the terraces with us for all the meaningful ball he saw. Anyway another messiah bites the dust but it's past history . We go again with optimism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townie987 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Anyone else Hurd that Haven haven’t started pre season yet and only 2 players getting paid so far? Wonder if any will come back here . Would love Teare and O’brien back Edited November 29, 2022 by Townie987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) From the Sellafield rumour mill allegedly some local players at haven were owed 2 months wages from the end of last season so refused to start training until it was settled but similar to us last season it was just short term cash flow issues more than anything too critical so they have all been paid now and started training last weekend. Edited November 29, 2022 by Carlisle1921 Forgot to quote Towni987's post above! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyJalfrezi Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 He wasn’t that popular at Sheffield but I think the sarcastic comments were aimed because of his alleged rudeness to fans in Toulouse a few years ago. Not a particularly great chant tbh. Normally when players leave Sheffield and come back with opposition they are treated with respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Thorman has had a change of mind over using big forwards, he just signed Robert Tuliatu, here is part of his comments after confirming the signing. “In terms of what to expect on the pitch, Rob is a genuine impact ball carrier who is stocky and powerful. That’s what I like in a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
