Season starts, V London Skolars

[homeandawayer]

What a relief not to be scrapping for a win, i wasn't sure what level we would be at and now we've a better idea. Ciaran was key so hope he shrugged off that knock. Muzza said he wants them to enjoy playing which sounds obvious but i think some coaches forget that. 

It must've been a kick in the guts for them when we brought Blaine,Jack, JJ and the try scoring butcher Joe on!

 

[silverfox]

I think Gary Murdoch as to take alot of credit  for the work he has done with  Muzza getting the team together. .I know we will have alot harder games this season . But WOW  when was the last time Town scored that many points away from home   . UTT .

Well after last season its Great to get this one off to a winning start and on the road too.  Well done Town!

By all accounts all the lads are enjoying training under Muzza and working hard together, that in itself makes a difference when  a team plays.

Still top for a couple of week. UTT

Let's enjoy while we can.

Listened to the Haven game and despite picking up a couple of our better players they struggled. Gary Charlton said they need a gate of 1200 to be OK financially.

They will struggle with a losing team and it will be interesting to see how many they get for Swinton who pipped Barra at the end

Can't see them getting 1200 when they are struggling, they got nowhere near that when they were going well a couple of years ago. I thought Swinton would be the whipping boys but they've now got 2 points more than we got all of last season. I think haven will beat them next week though.

Listening to the Haven commentary today and I was still gutted to hear Cus and Teare get mentioned. Half of the team I'd never heard of. Having said that, I'm sure next Saturday will be fun guessing who's who in the Town shirts.

Agreed mate, no chance of getting 1200, if Haven don't win next week then that's the season done. Great result yesterday, fantastic start to the season

thats a very optimistic budget that. I don't think there was 1200 average when they done well the other season.

Hard to break 1000 around here when yer getting beaten every week as we found out last season.

throw into the mix that they have no directors at present and all kinds of rumours are doing the rounds (good and bad) then it’s hard to see how they won’t be flirting with relegation this season.

Barrow have surprised me, I know it’s only 2 games in but they need to get some wins on the board before losing becomes a habit

A lot of rumour's going around, sad times for rugby league in west Cumbria.

You're definitely in a relegation battle but Thats a bit premature. You should stick by your club. I think there's 3 clubs that are gonna struggle in that league this season.

Defo, he has been instrumental in pulling the team together for the start of the season, and done a good job, and by all accounts the team is a happy team, and this goes a long way in having a successful team, it builds for the future of the club.

I think it's 2 from 3  between haven, Newcastle and Swinton, even though they've  won 2 out of 3. Barrow will come good, too many good players not to stay up.

I think newcastle will be amongst it too.

Put on another thread , the Championship seems far weaker this year than last , think there could be 5 or even 6 Teams involved at the bottom , Sunday can go a long way for Haven if they can get a win .........by a way big shout out to the Town fans who made the way to London last week , seems we took more fans there than we had visiting fans from Newcastle , Sheffield , Batley and even Halifax last year .UTT.
