At end of the day individual errors cost us across the park! Not game plan or team selection. But knock ons, late tackles and offsides.

Think people can blame muarry and the staff as much as they want but at the end of the day if the players don't perform you don't get the result!

And if they keep doing it week in week out and you can't drop them?

If they keep doing the same thing match in match out though of crouse you can blame the coach, its his job to get rid of these errors, progress the team etc. Its not happening at all, we`ve progressively got worse as the season has went on.

Are you saying it's not Murray's fault for using our best hooker and organiser as an undersized battering ram? For not coaching the defensive line to move up quickly like every other team in the league does?

Couldn't make the game this week so can't really comment on yesterday's performance but think we need to be really looking at the coaches aswel as the players performances because we seem to be picking knocks or injuries up every week yet it happens in rugby but are the players fit enough? 

We are using 1 off the best 9s in the league as a battering ram when the biggest player we've got in tongia is used as a 2nd row and hardly touches the ball in the right areas

Really think we need to win our next game unless hes got to go

I'm afraid rugby league at this level is a result game,if the club are investing money in bringing players and coach from away town should be doing better,

Especially in a league that is poor apart from the top 2.

Big mention for Brad Brennan yesterday he was MOM for me (workrate  alone) would love to see Tongia get more ball in better areas and Henson gotta be 9,totally wasted at 13 used as a battering ram .....big game now on Sunday won't be easy UTT

Cant argue with any of that, Brennan was excellent and really brought some much need physicality, was our best player in my opinion.

I dont understand the se of Tongia, he was stood wide waiting for he ball the first stint he was on, took it in twice I think, once was from a standing start. He goes off and we then concentrate our attack on his side weirdly.

We're 3rd bottom of a rubbish league, not just because of yesterday's match but on a disaster of a season.....

I personally think on the field we're as low as the Dave Rotherham era, and that disaster was in a much more competitive league than this one, the sad thing is you look through the squad (I know we've had injuries) but we've some real quality in there that we didn't have back then, burns, Hutton, Taylor, galea, walker, sammut, Henson, Bradley, Stephenson, Jj, Brennan, Ecclestone, lightowler, these are lads that would walk in to every team outside of Oldham and keighley (and most would get in there sides as well) yet we're propping up the league with a dreadful Newcastle side and Cornwall, the mind boggles how this has happened and how anyone can suggest that it's not down to very poor coaching

I see that Tane Manihera is coaching Wigton U18's. I wonder if he'd fancy a go at town?

[Town utd]

I think there are plenty of cumbrian coach's who could do the job,town are just not performing this season. 

[Cumberland Sausage]

I was surprised to see that considering his past criminal conviction.

I was told he'd said at their match against Wakefield he was leaving at the end of the season.

Did we announce anything on Sunday as it stated a new signing didn't it on the preview for the game?

I think it's been known all season that this would be his last at haven, thankfully it's nothing to do with him needing time away etc but more to do with havens off field constant issues. We need to do everything to get him to derwent park

Fully agree with this post, Jonty doesn't hold back or make excuses when his team plays badly- he tells it how it is.

We've won 4 games all season, 2 of those against Cornwall and Newcastle, please let's not pretend its because players are missing
