good comebacks by both widnes and haven

Would have really shaken things up if the big 3 had lost tonight but at least it shows all sides can be competitive and those who wrote Toulouse off might have to think again.

Good result for your lads tonight, Barrow didn't do too bad as we've just been promoted last season. The game could of gone either way.

Barrow were the better side. We only really played for 20 minutes at the start of 2nd half.

Beswick was our best player tonight, looked dangerous at acting half all night and scored the winning try. Though Miles had a good game in 2nd half too.

Same old story with regard to completion rates...when will we learn? And again we failed to build any real pressure.

That said Barrow played well especially Ben harrison at centre and thought Liam finch had a good game. Don't think many teams will come away from Craven park with any points this year never mind all 3 points.

I wasn't there, but if Barrow were the better side... ain't it a really good omen that we still came home with the 3 points? A real potential banana skin for us, this one... and one that I suspect that we'd have blown in the last couple of years.

btw SkyBet odds... we're only 11/10 to come top and 11/8 for the Grand Final (and 5/4 for the Trains Cup)

Roll on next Friday - should be a cracker...!!

Hard fought win tonight by the lads.

Was nice to see that Barrow can play with a bit of Fax style and lost at least 4 chances of going over on the left only to drop the ball or throw it wildly into touch when clearly in for a score.

I think we were lucky to come away with the points tonight, but we did and as i said, it was hard fought and we have the three, but unlucky to Barrow, they deserved something out of it (a bonus point is better than nothing i suppose).
