I maybe wrong.

Looking at the standings in the two groups at the moment certainly seems like the bonus point system is in force for the NRC.

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.

Im not sure that lowly Fax will be able to beat the mgihty Barrow.

If we play anything half like we can then i expect us to win but if we play well then im thinking it could be by anything up to 20 or 30 points.

Are there bonus points in the Cup? i thought they were just for the league comp.

I was unsure til I saw the group standings, and Bonus Points are indeed up for grabs.

You have to feel sorry for someone who is unable to move on from their issues and their bitterness to such an extent that they go to these lengths to try and wind up loyal fans.

mainly based on the fact that the majority of our squad has been together for past couple of years, we have added quality proven SL & NL players. Barrow did well last year, but it was only NL2, yes they haver added to their squad, but a lot of them are untried in this country or just not up to it in Brock's case.

I dont think most people think Barrow will be a pushover. I am sure that most people think that we are in for a tough / physical game.

But I do think that most Halifax supporters are pretty possitive at the moment and think that our team is strong enough to face up to Barrow and, if they play to their potential, have a substantial win in the end

Are overseas players aren't here yet. The rest of the new players are all tried and tested at this level.

Ps Brock's had a good start to the season so far
