Hopefully a hat-trick of victories..had given it up at there place until Widdop's sin binning... recent victories confirm we should have never tampered with our spine in early season..

Another huge game that will either put us 3 points clear or 1 point behind them.
Team wise unless we get any injuries I see no reason to change anything and you can’t have a bench that would include ( depending on who starts ) Johnson / Inman and A O’b can’t be far off ) Widdop and Morgan, it’s just too light so can’t see Gaz getting back in at the moment.

Leeds have Oledski injured and Cameron Smith suspended for their game on Saturday so might see if Whatton has been recalled and if Hudson appears in our 21 to clarify the loan / DR questions.

Leeds have acknowledged on their website that Johnson and Littlewood have been loaned to Fax. However, they've just announced their squad for Saturday and they've included them both, plus Warron-Hall, so god knows what that's all about. Somewhat farcical eh?

But Johnson being recalled wouldn't be too bad if AOB is back, and I thought Inman had a great game against York. Wouldn't want any other players left out after a top all round performance last week, and if we keep that form up we "should" beat Barrow by 4 scores - they've always struggled on the road and have just won one away game this season. I think the last time they beat us at the Shay was when Jamie Rooney was playing for them (?)

The whole DR/Loan system stinks but it seems we're stuck with it and all of our own making. Those 'above' us must be pissing theirselves. As for Sunday, it's a great chance to create the gap between us and the bottom three, we must take it. Fax28 v Barrow 12. Lindley Liberal Club, Ossett Silver King 4.2% Mmm!

Need a win Sunday, don't care if its ugly.

Would be nice not to go 10 down in the opening 10 minutes for a change though

A fax win. As mentioned above Barrow have not travelled well this season. Their one and only win away was against Whitehaven (which isn’t that far for them to travel!) back at the beginning of the season and only just won by 1 point 22-23. If we play as well as we did against York it should be a decent score.

Barrow actually lost at Haven 23-22, their only win was at Swinton.

A miss read, apologies

So Hudson comes into the squad on "Dual Reg". Confusion abounds! And I think Barber must be injured cos I thought he had a good game against York.

100% agree here.After the Wakefield debacle we’ve defended well on Barbers side,a dumb try per game conceded by Salty aside...
