Haven (H)

[Raider83]

Biggest game of the season! Confident we'll get the win but local derbies are never easy or straight forward 

[Wandering pete]

..even bigger now that the Lions are beating Fev..20-4 currently...with a trip to Owl Lane next up for the Lions its looking like the Raiders will need to beat Haven and Widnes to avoid the playoff game...that's if the Lions beat Donny or Bradford..

Should be a cracking game next Sunday. That was a great gesture by Wakey today, handing over the gate receipts over to Haven, maybe Barrow could do the same next week. Todays money could probably help them see the season out, but they’ve probably spent in on 4 new Aussies jetting in for next Sunday..

 Steve Neale's reaction to handing over the gate money.

PS: He just asked if they'd like the Bar, Food and Raffle money too? 

Haven's Bus money is on the table if they promise to lose the game.

would give them nothing. Carnt stand them would happily help town out.

It'll be a barrow win next, have to laugh when cresta goes on about Barrows injury's like he has all season, you have it good compared to Haven on the injury front be a real shame if Barrow end up in the playoff game as I believe there's quite a few missing

[wayner]

I think it will be a great match for the neutral spectator - can I request (as a Swinton fan) that you both lose on Sunday    

[Rod77]

Wonder what excuses Amor will be coming out with leading up to the game all he does is play his team down to be massive underdogs

This is no different to every interview cresta gives

[Holmesy]

Seems like it will be a push to field 15 on Sunday .  King is out Graham gone back to RU , Maizen injured or something else but diappeared, Dion banned by our sponsors and a couple of others now injured from Sunday .

  How the club allowed us to get in such a mess with lack of players. We are the only club in RL who can't consistently field a team.  We didn't even get loans right as we took two from Fax who immediately called them back as soon as we beat Dewbury .  An idiot could see that coming

Maizen injured keep telling yourselves that. Sure it’s that hamstring injury they keep saying

They have been massive underdogs though haven’t they? And will be again next week

[pmac]

The mind games are on overdrive.

Had 17 other week at home too York and still got beat 40-0, and we’re still claiming to be big underdogs even with a strong 17 out 

[Neutralfan7]

Anyone who thinks Haven won't be the underdogs in this game needs their head checked

If they have a full 17 why should they be underdogs? Derby game. All form and behind the scenes stuff goes out the window, just comes down to which team is hungrier on the day. On paper teams are pretty even with both teams having key players missing ie Costello, Silva, greenwood and Toal for barrow unfortunately I don’t know the latest injury updates for haven however I’m sure king was rested last week for this game maybe Singleton too which takes them up to 17.  Haven managed to turn barrow over earlier in the season with a late drop goal, always close games these derbys and come down too a couple of points or 1 . Hopefully barrow can get revenge on haven for winning the reverse fixture and winning at craven park last year I’m sure we are in for a cracking game.

[pmac]

This is just a query on the 3rd from-bottom potential playoff game if that team loses that's 3 teams relegated from the championship.

[John cass]

Look on the bright side, in all likelihood Barrow will win this one and likely finish at least 3rd from bottom. 

However if Haven win Barrow will be locked in to a relegation spot and are unlikely to escape it, but Barrow will win, won't they.....

Knee injury

[blue forever]

What are the club doing to avoid a repeat of the trouble seen last year? Plenty will be travelling down and have been talking it up as their cup final for a number of weeks. Hopefully the coked up idiots stay home this time

[ghost of uncle fester]

I'd 100% put money on king playing and maybe one or two others ,was word that maizen won't play due to monies (as others did) whether any actual truth in that god knows but it's common knowledge he's already signed up for another club for 2025 ,as other haven players have

The not getting paid doesn’t bother him from what I’ve heard
