Haven post a win over Swinton Lions in the 2024 league opener

Your thoughts..............

[Richard Bills]

Finger biting here in Doha!
In all seriousness though, a good comeback from 0-14 given the conditions.
Two league points in the bag and hopefully more to come!

Was worried at 14- nil but the lads stuck at it give the mudbath and I think very worthy winners we just grew into the game and got in control then never looked like loosing bring on the summer days on dry fields after this don’t enjoy this winter rugby but that win is huge  bigger than we think got to keep grinding them out well done onto the next huge game v barrow on Good Friday

Brilliant win, proper grind but a welcome unexpected 2pts.

[havenselite]

They are the 2 points we need to be picking up.

we stuck to the job...always gonna be heavy at the railway end ..job done thought newts and kingy were awesome today..we need another 9 to spell off newts who is an absolute fitnes machine and rumours we may have a couple of loans coming in but all in all a top job done

Great effort today . Wasn’t too impressed first half an hour but after that we got miles better .fantastic to get off to a winning start but we need to play much better . Swinton are not a bad sign but much better teams lie ahead

[African exile]

It will be interesting to see what Spelly has to say. Swinton discipline let them down today I think we played well in the conditions and got a few 50/50 decisions both sides looked ok with ball in hand but our defence was superb reminded me of when Charlo was coach.

To win from 14.0 down was fantastic we can't give to many teams starts in this league but happy with that

[Mirehouselegend]

Great to start  the league campaign with 2 points . That’s all we asked for and commitment from the team. Great effort to come back from 14-0 down  but eventually we wore them down. Some great performances and hopefully we push on and get some more points on board in next few fixtures.  Going to be tuff but you can do it lads.👏👏👏👏

What was the attendance on Sunday, nothing given in League Express or W News.

[WHITEHAVEN RLFC 4 EVA]

Didn’t look good I’d say 800

[Offside]

650 was announced in the sponsor's lounge as they had a competition to see who was the nearest to the actual attendance.
Really poor for the first home game of the new season and there was a coach load of Swinton supporters in that total too.
