Will see how it holds up against decent opposition but it is certainly better than last year.. More aggressive too with Said, Frank and Dana putting their weight about!!

Not wanting to put a dampner on things - but we haven't come up against strong opposition this year - and nobody has tested us with a kicking game or high bombs.

Hope to see things continue though - there were some excellent one on one tackles on Sunday that I can't remember us doing last season - Gleeson seems to get through a mountain of work in defence, and Frank isn't an option for snipey runs so far this season

Sheffield away is a tough fixture and Barrow will be up there this year - its not as if we have steam rolled CC1 opposition like we did last year.

We've only played Hunslet out of C1, and we beat them fairly comfortably, We're averaging 40 points a game again which is good. I expected more from Barrow, but they've been doing ok at Home so we'll see what happens at the end of march
