Roby is fit, and is waiting for his opportunity, he was on our table last night, with Joey Lyons, at JO's testimonial do. Having the likes of LR, KD etc is putting pressure on the starting 13 to consistently perform. The results have shown this is no bad thing. It looks like KD will get his chance tomorrow for Ryan Ince. That's how it works.

thanks for the inside info there Paulie - any chance walker may make the starting 17 ?

That I can't answer. Was AW not 18th Man last time out? So not injured, one would think. Walks has different concussion protocols than the rest of the squad, because of his past head issues. So any failed HIA's result in a month in the stand. Although you don't get as much game time out of AW, he does bring a different dynamic when on the pitch. We will always need big 'middles' in this division, we seem to be doing okay at the minute in this department.

Agree about walker - definite on bench if fit for me
I just wish Walker would lose a few more pounds and a little fitter. Definitely brings players around him and gives space to other players. A good battering ram is Walker and I like on the bench.
Not sure about this one.Our wins and league position compared to theirs means nothing come kick off.It's all on the day.
To be fair to haven they’ve only lost to Sheff, Fev and Toulouse who are around us and will be top 6 come end of season. The only other game they’ve lost is Batley who are jekyll and Hyde this season so far.
Wont be an easy game at all. Most championship games arent
The bookies think we will win by 18
I’ll be tuning into HWD radio for coverage of this week’s game
it’s only on bbc and I can’t access it anymore from the US, it’s a shame that the game isn’t available to watch/listen to anymore
Can only listen on radio Cumbria for some strange reason- but in fairness to them they are not anywhere near as biased as the Yorkshire commentaries
losing 18-16, sounds like a very good game, Dixon playing well after poor start, Johnstone back to his best and Lyons, Gilmore working well
still think we can win this - roberts and fozzy made a difference when they came on
game on !
we are awful defensively today
I said I’d take the draw at 28-16 down.
Murray has been excellent since arriving but it’s criminal to lose possession as the team are setting up to get the 1 pointer
Well 28 each, sounded like a great game - they had 2 breakaway tries from their PNG ? Winger
we had plenty of possession in the last 15 minutes on their line but struggled to breach it
interesting comments on radio Cumbria from Steve McCormack that was the best he has seen Whitehaven play in years
i suspect playing away there could be very hard - that’s where we will need the likes of walker, langtree(if fit), Reilly ( if fit )
we really are struggling for numbers, need some big boys back next week, off on Wednesday
onwards and upwards
Great to comeback but on a whole probably are worst game this season? Glad to get the point, haven much better then previous seasons we really let them in the game and gifted them 3 try’s. Edge unfortunately not good enough think roby deserves a shot now. Is are discipline that bad or are the refs really that useless?
