Bigger?

Yes, basically our forwards are too lightweight particularly in the front row, in previous years we've been able to take sides on down the middle but now there's nothing. When they take the ball up they just get knocked backwards, compared to the likes of Gannon who seemed to break through tackles for fun in the first 20 minutes.

Well i hope things get better for you mate, Haven have always been a strong side and im sure they will come good again. A change of coach and fresh approach is what you need.

One thing I don't get about Haven is the sheer number of penalties they give away. It's not just one or two games, its every time we play them. A lot of the time they just don't give themselves the opportunity to win the game because they are always on the back foot - because of their discipline. The kicking we gave them in the Northern Rail final the other year was a prime example - the game was won for us in the 1st 15-20mins because Haven gave that many penalties away and we kept scoring off the back of them.

I also agree about Stokes. He seemed to have a really good impact when he 1st joined them but, its not a long season and things can quickly get away from you. Haven should probably give him a couple more games, but if they carry on losing I don't see how they could keep him on.
