Whitehaven 03/04/22 : Wed Mar 30, 2022 10:37 am  

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.

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.
