In danger of slipping into relegation battle

[Sailaway]

The transfer deadline for this season closes tonight. Swinton have signed another prop this week but a creative half back would have been many fans preference. There must not be any around that are willing to join the fray.

I agree the lack of a quality stand off is now biting hard - Hall always gives 100 % and will play anywhere he is asked to play but he isn't a stand off and Spencer is a young prospect and neither player is a replacement for Patton who was the key pivot for the team. 

The performances have suffered as a result

Loan and DR's won't do it as they are either young reserve super league players or aren't with the club long enough to get established.

But the team seem to play best when the pressure is on so I hope we can win next week at Batley.

Hall and Bennion to widnes for next year, be interesting to see what happens with players being announced as leaving and the position Whitehaven are in. I am struggling to see where the next victory is coming from 

[Sailaway]

Hall will be a big loss as he has been a valuable player for various clubs over the years. Bennion has been injury prone and not fulfilled his  potential. Never mind, Swinton have loaned a winger from Cornwall for the rest of the season so everything will be fine.

Yes very sorry to see Hall leave - he is a really good player - I agree Bennion has been unlucky with injury but I also think he hasn't fulfilled his potential.

Yes I also think it strange we sign a winger on loan when its a standoff we need

As for the next win - well Batley of course - lets hope that's true.
