It was the rest of the squad where we fell short 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voodooguru Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Surprised he's gone to Haven home town or not given the decade of sometimes vile abuse he has suffered from their fans that will no doubt love him now 2 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Caine if he came would be second row with the new aussie we've signed . Said last season town's best 5 or 6 combined with our squad would be a top 6 team easily . I'll be buzzing if we sign 4 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Doran has left our club and good luck to him, but O'Brian and stevie scholey would never be my first choice for a Championship club. It's makes more sense if they get hold of Barnes to sign for them, but i cannot grasp why haven want to sign Div1 players unless they want to return back to Div1 next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there are two new teams in the championship far closer to the heartlands ,than West cumbria is, that players from that area will choose rather than travel. Unless haven can pull of some quality signings it's looking like a relegation scrap next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i have seen Marcus in action mate, but if you say he was injured most of the season what the hell was he even playing for. Marcus is a really good player but playing in the front row was a massive mistake from our coach, has anyone seen him playing in his right position has an hooker, then you have a great little player. I still believe the Championship was not a place for Marcus to play in front row but town were basically down to around 16 players fully fit or not but had to put a side on the field, I hope Marcus proves me wrong and go's really well for Haven but it beats me why they are signing lads from our club that finished bottom of the Championship.

Unless haven can pull of some quality signings it's looking like a relegation scrap next season. All the more reason to have a merger in West Cumbria. There's not enough talent to sustain 2 championship teams nor the funds to obtain overseas or Yorkshire and Lancashire traveling players in the numbers needed either. If it carries on like it is then the sport will be finished at a semi pro level in West Cumbria within this decade. Trim it down to one semi pro club and heavily support and work with all the remaining amateur clubs and schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
