What exactly is it that parton.marra and others actually want ?
Putting Blackpool behind you, (Broadbent sending off obviously opened up our left hand flank in particular and Widnes were professional enough to take advantage of the missing man ,and had a lead of 18 points by the time he returned). Given the referee decisions and a couple of Widnes lucky breaks we were always going to be playing catch up rugby at Blackpool ... we tried and it didn't come off.
I can accept the poor discipline reasoning parton.marra puts foreward, ................ and Rotherham and the players need to sort that out PDQ.
However, subsequent to Blackpool the Whitehaven team have just been to he Vikings own stadium and shown them that we are still a force to be reckoned with this year ........when we get an equal share of the game and referee breaks..
Sure we need to be on our game and keep our composure during matches ..... but that applies to Cas, Leigh, Halifax and Widnes too.
Cas, Leigh and Widnes are full time outfits with money to flash around, and are all closer to a number of other SL and NL1 clubs where they can pick up additional players much more easily than Whitehaven.
The bottom line is we are still in NL1 top four with a chance of a Grand Final appearance. Realize what disadvantages Whitehaven labour under (location, finances, part-time, etc. etc) and be grateful that we have recruited some good quality players from outside the county (Baldwin inc) and continue to do so well season after season,.......I suggest everyone who calls themselves a supporter should back off the 'negative carping on' and get behind the team, because we still have a very good chance of pulling something special off this season. Mark my words, THE BEST COULD BE YET TO COME this year.
