Looking at the London score today against Toulouse our result may not actually be that bad, though regardless it still goes down as a loss.

Barrow (+16) with the bookies. I'll have a bit of that!

I lost my bet. Fantastic game management. Never seen Field Mouse play 6 before.

After an iffy start the lads played well tonight and were good for the win which apart from the 2 points was vital after the last couple of weeks.
Barrow get some credit, they defended well and kept going to the end although the spoiling, delaying tactics started to grind a bit at the end.
The ref, well what can you say, we can't have a game without them and they have to start somewhere.

Well on the whole I was satisfied with the team performance. I thought that Sion Jones again stood out being very comfortable at this level... If I were fax I would be launching him in between the opposition centres on attack . He's one strong boy with quite a turn of pace . I lost track of the number of times Johno could have passed to him but chose something else. He needs to be lining this lad up for a gap. He nearly scored through 4 defenders from a standing start so let's practice a move lining the lad to hit at pace perhaps salty takes an inside run steps then launches Jones.not many will fancy stopping him in full stride. I just feel we are a couple of players short of really having a good team half back remains key just an old fashioned style with A step and shorts soft pass to runners.. Also pleased with young Connor McGrath haven't seen a Centre passing to a fax winger in space for a while . The lad shows he has good pace because Barber wouldn't have made it to the line. It was good to see. Thought Tyrer had his best game in a while . Butler looked comfortable too and always put us gaining ground . Some solid performances out there tonight mention to Morris as well.

DR exists to benefit the SL club in the main.

DR was good for the game,it was good for the SL clubs and it was good for the young players upto the end of 2011 when championship clubs could go to any SL club and ask what players they had available.

Leigh used it well,we got Brierley from cas,Emmitt & Marshall from Saints & we got got Laithewaite & someone whos name escapes me from warrington,im sure there are others as well.

These were all players who Millard & the owner clubs all thought were the next generation SL players Who needed tougher competition to progress.

Then in 2012 they loved it all up and (it sounds like) forced champ clubs to link with one club thus we have what we have.

A really good professional performance last night. It was good to see folk coming out if the game with a smile in their face. Note to RM...Let's have some consistency in team selection now.

A very workmanlike performance. Thought it would have been a harder match. Great to see 3 of the Reserves on the scoresheet. Same again Monday please.

Re: Barrow : Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:52 pm

but few on report, tyrer one stupid as ref was not going to give voluntary tackle so he had to make contact. other just accidental clash of heads.

To put some perspective on it,they rested 5 for monday and only had 1 second half sub with 3 injured.
