For me the only changes Barber aside would come on the bench. If fit O'brien for Johnston and either Foster or Hudson for Morgan. Score wise as long as we don't do a Barrow get into a winning position then throw it away i will go with a fax win by 36-16.

Their main threat is having some pace on the edge with the likes of Bulman and Broadbent coming into the line.
As long as we stay focussed and keep our discipline then we should get the win.

Looking at Barrow's squad they appear to have their own problems with scrum half Ryan Johnson missing, as well as his stand in Costello.

It's going to be very hot tomorrow, so let's hope Barrow's coach doesn't have air-con, every little helps!

A decent win with a decent margin. I feel we could have a few more trys if Tibbs had passed to Salty instead of taking it on him self. They only scows 2 trys in the first half and none in the 2nd but a 0 in the second half is good D for us. Let’s hope we beat Swinton next week

Quite a frustrating watch at times, we looked on for a huge win at 14-0 but let them back into the game. The momentum seemed to be lost when Inman went off, he gave us some real go forward in the first 20. Agree with Tangata being the MOM, he had his best game this season. Keyes intercept finally put the game to bed. A win at Swinton and that should put us safe with 4 wins ahead (including the better points difference) with 6 to go.

It is never dull when we play Barrow, sendings off, sin binnings, comebacks and most important 2 points. We did leave a few scores out there when they was down to 11 men just by not putting the ball threw the hands instead throwing big miss passes. On we go to Swinton now with a bit of confidence and hopefully another 2 points.

Some good individual performances out there yesterday especially in that heat.
The entire back line all went well as did the pack and it didn’t look like we picked any new injuries which will mean the first time in a long time with Bob clearing his suspension Finn will have a selection headaches of who to rest / leave out instead of you’ll have to go again carrying a knock / where can we get someone to be able to put a team out.
Just need to tidy up the scrappy moments to get to the next level of what this team are capable of.

It's hard to criticise the performance, especially in that heat, but i thought it was a real low quality game. We could easily have had 50/60 points there but before the game i would have taken a 1 point win so happy days. Be a bit more clinical and a win at Swinton should be on the cards.
