I take all the above comments on board and I agree ... I was expecting a Mark Preston type winger I suppose. Keep up the good work, Rob.

I have to hold my hand up and say I'm a returning fan after a break of about 10 years, I caught a couple of games at the end of last season and decided I'd make more effort this season. But I have to admit I'm still in the old school wingers frame of mind, I've found myself wishing Rob to "run forward".

I like rob, I think he puts in the commitment and has a alot of heart on and off the pitch and I don't think we could ask for more. He's not afraid of having a go with the big boys, I just always felt he looked a bit weak on the wing, on the few chances he'd have a chance to go down the wing he looked like he was in danger of being tackled out into touch.

Reading these comments someone pointed out that the way fax play it does get awfully crowded around the wing and I hadn't really thought about it like that but it's true, the wingers end up with so little space they have to concentrate more on keeping the ball in play than out pacing the defence.

I hope rob he starts getting the chance for some good runs cos I think he deserves to score some spectacular tries.

went too game yesterday ,, thought worrincy just lacks a bit of self belief in himself , cos hes in a better team with more skillfull players .. thought halifax went to sleep yesterday and let barrow into the game some very weak defence .. will have too step up against WIDNES theyki are sorting there team out are beginning to peak .. GOOD LUCK on sunday think it should be a cracking game ..

Spot on that. On reflection we are the best attacking team and should learn to close a game down like yesterday and stop trying to hammer teams when a win is good enough We let them back into it by some sloppy play.
Barrow have the best defence I agree, they are a good team but we CAN play better, we missed Matt james and Dana Wilson, some younger legs.
