Could come back to haunt us if we dont add today at the min we are the 2nd best team but theres 9 cup finals if we get to the final but a few injuries and bans we could ne screwed.  Lets not forget our last game at town they might wanna put the balloon up and we could be going into semi final with a few bans.

Don't think they will want to put the balloon up as in the same boat as Haven with a small squad, cant afford any players banned.

So, looks like no new blood for the super 8s (happy to be proven wrong). Any mileage in talking to Fox again? Any prospect of Dave Allen  getting a game?

Looking at the York recruitment I wouldn't be overly confident if it came to a semi final against them....

Also a couple of fan sites are suggesting no relegation from the Championship this year. If true Bradford Bulls must have something on someone at the RFL

Hopefully its like the football and you can still finalise deals after the windows shut as long as they had been agreed

Stop panicking folk our squad might not be massive, but it's chocker with quality. Ffs trust our coach and bod.

They have been fantastic, we are second in the league behind the millionaires, and I fully trust there judgement and business heads.

Some folk want us to sign Sam Burgess etc.

We aren't loaded folks and the bod are doing their best

well no announcements so it looks like we will be going with what we have got,i would like to think that that would include karl olstrum,although we supporters don't know all that's gone on behind the scenes at the end of the day all that we want is the" BEST" haven team on the field each week and doing their best,with such a small squad and 7 big game's ahead I think it's time all parties put personalitie's aside and put the future of HAVEN first and foremost.
the way the team's around us are recruiting dual reg and loan player's we are in danger of being left behind should we suffer any injurie's (as in shack's)and personally I think karl could make a big impact in the game's ahead,and not forgetting tyrone Dalton.
whatever the outcome this season we should be looking ahead at who we would like to retain and who would be likely to re,sign.(and hopefully not another dave allen) and as many local's as possible.
this is my opinion feel free to disagree (but I am right lol) :tip: :tip: :tip:
wherever and wherever
  we are playing we will SUPPORT haven.
floating fan's need to realise that we need  ALL  the financial assistance we can get.

I was under the impression Dalton had gone back to Kells, that's what the crack was last week in Kells club, hope he hasn't,
