Most fans back their team to win in any prediction league you care to look at. 40-0 is clearly tongue-in-cheek. Lighten up. How many of our backs do you actually know anything about?? Your quote 'we definately have the better backs' is a bit premature when you have probably only seen Gary Broadbent play out of the 7 backs. Did you know for instance that winger James Nixon scored 35 tries last season and turned down a deal with Quins to stay at Barrow ?? Barrow certainly won't be fielding any mugs on Sunday. I just hope the Fax coach and players have as little respect for Barrow as you seem to have.

Are the Barrow lads travelling on the day? Usually a 10 points handicap anyway if they are!

You certainly do your research

If you look carefully at my quote, you'll see I said 'most'. My head says a Fax win, but hopefully we can bag a bonus point at least.

I think there were bonus points in the NR Cup last year.

I maybe wrong.
