Can anyone from the club tell the fans exactly why  players are not playing we sign a winger who can catch pigeons  scores a great try yet again he’s not in the team instead we will play  someone who’s had a mare of a season so far. Then we get to injuries what exactly is wrong with the injured players instead of just saying there injured and will be 6-8 weeks let the fans know or is it a need to know basis,

We signed Ryan king but he’s got a knee problem and will miss half the season what is the point in bringing over a player who’s injured and will be costing a fortune sitting on the sidelines

I would assume part of the reason was to keep the aussie agent sweet.  Or maybe we didnt have a get out clause.  He will be back for second half of season and will win us games if he has recovered properly.

The reason is discussed in the video - Ryan has come on an Italian passport and the implications of Brexit meant if Ryan didn’t come when he did then a new visa would have been needed which the club could still be waiting for now.

I heard the reason stated.  But as the above poster to me stated.  Why would you rush a player over who may play 30% of the season when he will be one of the top earners?

Great update

lets get behind the club instead of bickering they are trying there best a much bigger squad which is proving itself itself already

I did not realise Whitehaven had so many moaners as supporters

Give the board the benefit of the doubt instead of presumptions

Come on Haven
