Another must win to start catching up with the top 6.

Not sure on team selection but walmsley and joufret should get to play against there old club.


Whitehaven have had mixed results beating york 38 12 and the week before thAT beating Dewsbury 40-12

AM going for a 26-16 win cant see it been as easy as last week

Confident of a good fax win with walmsley on the scoresheet.

Fax to win this one, 30v12.

It will be interesting if the cup game last week as any effect on there performance. Either way i would still expect them to be stronger then workington was last week i will go for a fax win 30-10.

Listening to their coach they copped a couple of injuries against Saints. Is it me or are all teams seeing more injuries these days?

Walmsley to miss out again, then sign for Featherstone the week after!

Negatives. Everything from almost everyone in likely the worst first 55 minutes I’ve seen for a long time.
Positives. In and amongst the above a stand out performance from Joe Keyes and finally getting it together to post 36 unanswered points in just under 25 minutes.

Agree completely- absolutely dire for a big chunk of the game - whether they just felt all they needed to do was turn up but players and crowd totally flat until we were 24-10 down. I'd think all the players sat on the sidelines will be feeling grateful to have missed that. Gwaze never stopped driving in and deserved his try for perseverance, Salty did what he does every week. While you can't argue with Keyes as MOM -thought the player who really helped turn the tide was Larroyer in his second stint - ran in like a train and lifted the whole team. And while Walmsley took his try really well, hope JWH tells him to bugger off next time a high ball comes down!

I felt all Towns were were quite soft and it was fax who gave them their trys as apposed to them working hard to get them. Two tries crashed over right on the line. Bad defending. Interception try. Is not reading their defensive line and then the very odd try. Where I was sitting it looked like a Town knockdown first and their play being off side who went to score. Second half Town were out on their feet and having only 3 subs maid a difference. Good to have another win, let’s see how we go against Bradford in two weeks

Bit of a let off. Against a better side we wouldn't have come back. We lacked a big aggressive forward in the first half. Can we carry on taking Haven players and get King in next.
Credit though and we got a roll on in second half.

Fully agree about Larroyer. One of his best performances in a long time, when he came back on in the second half.

He ran very hard and straight and made brilliant yards.

Keep it going Kevin!

Another positive was seeing Brad Knowles walking around, just seen a post on fb saying he’s ahead of schedule and may feature again this season, regardless it’s good to see him well after what was an horrific injury.

I will take the positives from that game . Should never have been in the half time position with the squad we have . Wake up call whitehaven at home has to be a win to remain credible .

Just a really lacklustre first half, a couple of really soft tries against us and a couple that were a little fortunate for Haven. I thought we dominated for much the first half and what happened in the second half was not really anything I didn't expect. The players more than likely had a bollocking at half time and looked to respond well to whatever was said.

Fairbank and Tangata need to up their games massively, both are getting carried by the team at the moment, Larroyer was awful in that first half but like has been said he responded well in the second half and I much prefer him playing more direct like he did in the second period than a second row that tends to drift across the pitch. Hewitt was annoymous and I expected a lot more from him given how good he was for us previously. Keyes and Gwaze were standouts, I know Keyes has that bit of class and he really looks the part but I thought Gwaze in the second half really got us on the front foot and there must have been a few times where he took a couple of carries in the set while other forwards were having a breather.

First half was bizarre, both sets of players came off at half time hardly looking like they'd put much effort in. We didn't play well but the 2 "interception" tries against the run of play flattered the score line for Haven. Agree Keyes was head and shoulders above...got to be up there with the best HB's in this league. Titus is a machine, he took a few big hits, but he just gets up and keeps coming back, defenders will be sick of the sight of him.

Hang on a minute, I posted that BK was up and about at the Leigh game but no one gave me a clap



Also considering it was me who told ListenUp about it as well and he gets the credit bit disappointing really

Having reflected on the game and listened to grixs’ interview it’s clear they failed to execute the gameplan in the first half , they seem to think you can throw the ball around and just score at will . It still took over 20 mins and several sets to score our first try of the 2nd half which is ‘earning the right ‘ to play an expansive style . I’m starting to think there’s an iq problem with some players or they’re just mentally lazy and I don’t know how Grix keeps his cool sometimes, it’s not hard , complete your sets give no penalties and bide your time , you don’t have to score on every set .

Like someone said previously Hewitt was underwhelming as have all the duel reg players and it’s time we let the likes of calcott have a run now , in the first half I was thinking how peed off I would be trekking all way up to Newcastle on a Friday night to play for Huddersfield reserves to have duel reg players taking my spot . I know larroyer played well in the second half but he’s not a prop and shouldn’t be ahead of calcott and Morris in the pecking order.

Plagiariser.

just glad he’s well , if him and gee make some appearances this year we’ve already upgraded our pack.

Spot on.

Not that I'm one for sulking or holding a grudge but I hope your cat gets lost again.



And if he's going to get his Sheba and a nice meal when he comes back I might get lost next week.

Ha ha , only the best for rodders, I was nearly in tears at half time when our cats were losing n the mrs ‘ was crying when the lost cat came home

It's hardly surprising we put in disjointed performances like yesterday's first 50 minutes, what with all the chopping and changing of the team. Sending our lads to play for Huddersfield reserves and bringing in Huddersfield players who are no better than ours is lunacy. What on earth does our coach think he's doing?

On a positive note the lads showed real character to pile up 36 unanswered points late on. Keyes MotM followed by Larroyer and Gwaze. Up The Fax!

Such a fine balancing act the duel reg system and tbh I keep changing my mind , the players involved on both sides must be frustrated, we know Hewitt for example is a quality player at this level after his performances last year but yesterday he didn’t perform. I think being thrown in last minute for one game here n there is detrimental for both club and player . I wonder if amir bourouh would have signed for Salford if he’d have known Marshall was going to be sacked , another quality player being passed from pillar to post . I don’t know what the solution is but isolated games here n there are not .
