Not going to lie I felt a bit ropey yesterday (self inflicted) and used it as an excuse not to attend.

Don’t think I ever did that prior to this season.

I genuinely thought I’d enjoy 2024 seeing us win for a change but I’ve found the majority of the season very dull and lacking atmosphere. The highs have been Wembley and Toulouse away despite the result in the latter, but there have been some very flat games this year where we have had it too easy, never really got out of second gear till we needed to and as such not generated much crowd engagement or atmosphere.

It’s not a criticism of anyone or the club, it’s just a reflection on where we are at the moment, and whilst we more than likely won’t be posting big scores and picking up nearly as many wins next year I can’t wait till we are back in SL.

I guess the playoff games will provide an atmosphere because of the winner takes it all sense of occasion so I’m looking forward to them.

What seems to be forgotten is that we been playing without two recognised halfbacks for months!

100%, and the 'Haven team and fans deserve respect for honouring the spirit of the game and fulfilling the fixture despite overwhelming odds - and in the process holding out against a much superior team for 20 minutes AND scoring a decent try late on. They deserve the respect shown to them at the ground and, I'm told, by the many fans of other clubs who bought tickets with no intention of turning up for the game.

If we watch somebody like Thomas Doyle who has come on leaps and bounds. Yes it is nice to have the luxury of a big pack, full time team etc etc but a lot of younger players are developing well.
Injuries are all part of rugby league and the experience some players are getting now might be very useful in the future

Made me feel very proud. Excellent support
