Fax v Haven - 03.04.22 - Match Reaction

[spelly]

To be honest, I thought you'd have got stuffed today, after the exertions of last week, and was very surprised when I checked my phone at half time in our game, to see you were well in front, but......

With a squad of only sixteen men, you were obviously behind the eight ball even before a ball was kicked, and have nowt to be ashamed of at all, so......

Heads up guys!

We had a(nother) comfortable win down at Hurricanes, coming away with a 54-16 victory, to remain top of the table, but.,,,,,,,

So far we've played two of the weaker teams, and not getting away. The visit to Donny next week, should prove a far sterner test for us.

I reluctantly agree about forfeiting the Sheffield game but what might be the punishment?  Heavy fine, points deducted, tread carefully I'd say.  I hope everyone working on recruitment come up with the answers...

I agree I would forfeit the game . We’ll be lucky to have 17 fit players unless Jonty can bring in loan players .  Add to that it’s a bit of a Mickey Mouse cup . I’d rather keep players fresh for the Town game . Also what was up with Olstrum . Is he injured ??

Why is Moore not in the squad also

Moore and Olstrom were missing due to illness.

I would never say forfeit a game but I just feel this game brings nothing to the club and will just cost us with more injuries etc I wouldn’t think they would deduct points or fine us you are just letting the other team progress as a last resort. The league is far far more important this is a game we just don’t need at the min

Changed my mind,  if we don't play Sheffield Guy Graham can't play against Town....rumours of an overseas option........

Easy for me to say I admit, but in my opinion, to forfeit the Sheff game, would do you no favours at all.

I accept that you're down to the bare bones squad wise, but the match is a chance to get a bit nearer of being there on RL's big day, down in the "Smoke" come the end of next month, and the positive exposure it'd bring.

I would guess that the RFL would not look too kindly on you should you take such a drastic measure, and a points deduction could follow.

It's an away-ish tie for them, as their new ground is still not ready to host fixtures, so...........

I say GO FOR IT 'HAVEN!!!
