Haven v Bulls 02.05.21 Match Thoughts

Your view..........

[spacecake]

Lost ball to early in key positions cost us dearly.  Few players still missing fair play to Bradford big strong experienced team.  We're not too far away . Walmsley outstanding again

[Mk1]

Same old Haven , unenforced errors, daft penalties and iffy decision making,. CAme good last 15 mins and if we'd  played with the same composure  earlier in the game it would have been a win.
Take the lessons into next weeks game and They'll turn Oldham  over.

Have to many balls to Bradford, in the end the score looked respectable but 13 against 12 and they score😖 we need some hard running forwards and a scrum half that can take the line on. Dixon is a class player and hopefully when Callum’s back we can run rings around some teams. Well done all as the score line is not what I was expecting as I thought it would be higher on Bradfords favour.

First time since charlo took over I would question some players desire.  Poor defeat against a bang average side who successfully plodded up the middle and made yards at will.

[Recre Faithful]

Some poor performances today thought Jason mossop was finished last year but today look well and truly finished for the second time this year bombed a walk in try that could of changed the game. Also why do we keep refusing to take the 2 points when we get the chance especially when our plan of 5 drives and a kick doesn’t work against big teams. Charlo needs to sort it out before it’s too late and if we get beat next week we’re in for a difficult season

[Mk1]

Bradford played a cuter game than us, winding up our guys to give away penalties when they were down to 12 men. Their game plan was simple unlike ours they went up the middle then out to the sides, our usual 5 up the middle then kick hopingfor a mistake didn't  work, when we went wide we scored some points -Charlo take note, whenplan A doesn't  work we need to go to plan B.

[Exile in Jamland]

We need to cut out mistakes and penalties as far as possible. First half we conceed 3 penalties and 3 tries off the back of them. Bradford were a big side and our bench, once again was thin. I realise there are injuries, but I think we could have had a more muscled up bench. Anyway, hopefully Charlo will get them focussed for next week. A real 4 pointer even at this early stage.

Charlos player rotation plan has proven to be a failure. We need to start fielding our strongest possible team week in week out. The continued unnecessary team changes is affecting combinations and team chemistry which is showing in our results

[HavenWarrior]

Most changes are down to injuries are they not? Then you also need selected players to turn up. Like last season there are must win games. Swinton and Oldham are the weakest with us. We need to targeting Away wins against those, and pick up a few extra Home wins to survive.

We were going down last season, no doubt.

We have strengthened well, just need luck with injuries to keep our strongest 17 on the Park.

Shacks,Mcnally,Thornley,King. Callum suspended

Shouldn't every game be a must win? After watching most games so far this season I don't think anyone should be taken lightly including Swinton and Oldham. I would like to see how we go if we stuck with a 17 for a few weeks

We don’t have a plan B pal it’s only when the lads play off the cuff do we look dangerous, going thru the middle against massive packs is old fashioned rugby especially when your pack isn’t as strong as it should be

Yet he was playing today too many mates in the squad

[WHITEHAVEN RLFC 4 EVA]

Thing is have we seen our strongest 17 yet the way it’s looking season will be over and we will be down before we get a chance to see how good we are but I agree the team is changing far too much weekly we need consistency

Where is Dion surely he’s back soon he’s been a player we have missed massively and can turn games on his own need him back sap
