SHOCK COMPLIMENT FROM RADIO CUMBRIA COMMENTATOR!

He was heard to compliment the Halifax defence today after constantly bagging them. But, unfortunately followed this by slagging off Dylan Nash, yet again.

hewer is been very carefull with what he comments on

We sound to be dropping a lot of ball, plenty of silly knock ons!

"Nash... get's away with it"

Honestly.

Nothing new there, then.

"Spec savers is open son"

what the hell as Nash ever done to upset this guy

A 2m forward pass lol

i always thought a commentator should be unbiased? this clown must be on whitehavens payrole.

Does Hewer do regular commentaries with this donkey, if he does its bound to influence his thoughts, as Whitehaven are so perfect and any opposition is dirty, rubbish, argumentative and constantly forward passing.

if this guy says Aizueeee again i'm switching off

I think he got abit excited then.

That Specsavers comment was class!



Are Whitehaven that innocent a team that they never do owt wrong? Listening to this guy you would assume so. I'm not saying Halifax are all sweetness and apple pie, but Whitehaven have proved on countless occasions that they like to play with a bit of 'biff'.

28-10 full time.

Guy was called John Cocks. Says it all!

Fax were excellent today. Forwards stood up against them. Laughton was he usual inconsistant rubbish self. Lost control of it and let Haven get away with murder at the play the ball. Jackson and Mattinson always coming in third man and coming down with the elbow. Shocking crowd as well from Haven, 1100 there with a couple of hundred from fax.

Calland wasnt happy at all with Ronnie today. Says he lost control of the game. Says Nash may have a broken cheekbone! Haven were head hunting today he claims.

What a fantastic result, we have turned the corner & will only get better. All those who wanted Calland out, please now get behind everyone at the club & we will only get better!

I'm a 100% behind the players. But still unsure with Calland, I understand some one you won't like me saying this.

Did Gleeson play?

Just got back from game,great effort from the team but your right "fax" i am not sure about Matt Calland.His body language is not right and the players are seriously lacking a leader on the park.I though Mark "Jacko" Jackson should have been sent off the field today,Ronnie Laughton completly lost the plot.All credit to the guys when it got tough it was great to see Nash and Beswick getting really stuck in backing their mates up.

A quote taken from the Haven forum:

[i"Fax are a well coached team with some useful players, best team we played at recre this season...."[/i

Sums it up in my opinion. Granted, didnt go there today, but to come away from there with a win means everyone, players & coach can take credit.

Nash seems so unlucky he seems to get one injury after another

Well the comments about the biased commentator are right. All Haven did all game were spoil the play the ball and go headhunting. Mattinson in particular made TKL look tame, every tackle he grabbed the players head and yanked it. Amor and Hill were no saints either.

Jackson was another matter. There is a difference between hard, tough, passionate play which I respect and liked about Jackson, but today my opinion changed completely. As soon as he took the field he went to punch and high tackle our players off the pitch. How he wasn't red carded for landing half a dozen clean punches on Beswick while he was trapped on the floor I'll never know, what do you have to do to get sent off nowadays? What made it more laughable that when he came back on he committed TWO more acts of foul and dangerous play, just shows what a deterrant it was.

Fax were no angels either and we got dragged into their stupid play, Royston and Nash in particular. Nash was lucky not to be sin-binned for taking a Haven man clean off the ball after a kick. Haven are that poor a side they tried to get into the game by bringing us down to their level with the sloppy play. Once we played rugby we were streets ahead of them. We would have had the game wrapped up at half time up the hill if we hadn't got too excited with the ball after going 12-6 up and if Paterson hadn't skewed his penalty.

In terms of the Fax performance our line defence is sometimes worringly weak but we scramble back well. Against better teams it could have been a VERY high scoring game. When we could actually play our own game we played really well. Our support play in particular for all our tries was impressive.

Black is back on form, he buzzed around the midfield and looked to take the line on. Paterson should stay in the Centres, he looked dangerous and looked to break through every time he got the ball in the Second Half.

Penky looked back to his sniping best. Watene is playing like a man 10 years his junior. For the first time really in a Fax shirt he is looking to bust the line and look for the offload and take another drive in the set instead of before where he would just hit the line and fade out and go missing.

Said had a couple of brain farts where he tried to act the big man against their pack and lost the ball and conceded penalties by mouthing off which was a shame because apart from that he had a good game in attack and defence.

We've got a monkey off our backs now by winning comfortably up there, now we can build on it as our main players our getting back to full fitness and confident again.
