[Derwent Park SC]

So what we thinking? 
Should be a home win but with our recent form I’m not so sure. 
 

Hopefully get another 1k crowd down. Let’s get this win and kick on for the last 3 home games. UTT!

[wonky]

I fancy town by 10, we turned them over comfortably down there and although u don't think it will be like that, I think if we can get jammer on the ball and controlling it will be a town win. It's going to be another hot one so it should suit our pack 

[Town utd]

Towns front row have got to go forward and get on the front foot and complete sets,something they have struggled with all season 

[bobg]

Going to take a big effort, once again they have brought players in on loan, Grice ( who was with us last season) and Baldwinson. 
Dominate Gaskell with our forwards laying a foundation going forward.

Agree with Wonky JD to six and don't like to be -ve about players but I think its time now for Reid instead of R Ainley

Not a chance Ross will he dropped for Grant. 

Would rather he replaced Castle if anyone 

[Town and out]

Let's be positive here. Town by 16 to 20  UTT.

When Ross played for Haven i was guilty of thinking he doesnt do much, will never break a tackle etc but its the things us mere fans dont see that a coach does thats makes Ainley one of the 1st on the team sheet, the last effort tackles, quick ptb etc, i would have him back at Haven in a heart beat. You dont notice him until hes not playing.

Exactly that, he's a quality player

Until recently I used to settle for that argument but on recent performances I'm not so sure. You say "will never break a tackle etc"? Isn't that what you want from a prop? Castle is one of the few (not injured) who can and will break tackles or make yards and thats what we lack at the moment.

Obviously breaking a tackle is always a bonus, but tying up a couple of defenders, winning the collison and getting a quick ptb are more what Ainley is about imo.

[Town utd]

I would like to see some quick play the balls today,let's go forward then town can play hopefully. Utt

Never done it once for haven for 2 seasons but it was a harder league then

Yeah I agree with this, Ross is a work horse and one I would love to see us keep next year, I think Jack is getting better and better every game. But I would like to see big Grant replace Lucas or farrer, I think he just offers more than the pair of them. We need some zarrin magic today, some big kick returns and dancing runs and he'll be the difference maker on the score board 

[Haven 1]

Some win that, sounds like a dominent performance,

[bobg]

Listened on the internet, sounded a dominant performance after a dodgy start, well done Town.️

Certainly dominated 90% of the game, bit of scrappy ending where we gifted them 2 soft scores. 

I thought everyone contributed today, a solid win but that was the worst team I've seen up here all year. 

UTT

Very solid performance today. Low penalties and minimise mistakes, that's what we can do. Good performances right across the park. Carter good, castle probably best game ive seen him play. Id have given Galea man of the match personally. Thought the game was won by our bench. Castle, Bear, Reid and Rawhiti all contributed when they came on. Castle break for galea try, Rawhiti scored with his 1st or 2nd touch of the ball, Reid carried well and won a penalty on his first carry and Bear made a couple of good breaks. A 1-17 performance that HOPEFULLY we can finally replicate. I think town had the cue in the rack for the last 5 mins. 

Well done ️

Good win today, really enjoyable performance, scored some excellent tries. Was impressed with Castle today, was a real handful, Rio had a really good game as well, well done Town

Also his brilliant offload before that which lead to a break and a great Carter try.
