If we go behind to Barrow i dont think we will come back and win.

The middle unit is soft, over weight and shows no fight or desire to get stuck in when the going gets tough.

On showings so far I'd agree with a lot of that. We looked good at Dewsbury but the evidence since then is that we're flat track bullies. The game on Sunday is the ideal opportunity to show otherwise or confirm our fears.

If we do go behind vs barrow it will show how much heart is in the team.

Also I’m sure the brave souls in attendance will make our feelings known

I take it the person asking for Kibula to be brought in to provide go forward and replace overweight forwards didn’t see the Hurricanes game then?

Foggin-Johnston looking at a sizeable ban. Charged with a Grade E case by the RFL. 4-8 game ban incoming.

It was a shocker. No one can have any complaints.
Ban wont come into effect untill the cup game next week though

6 games I reckon

I wouldn't be rushing him back into the side after his ban. Absolutely brain dead thing to do with 45 seconds of the match left when we were getting our backsides spanked.

Surprisingly, Kear hasn't had the ruthless streak I thought he would regarding discipline. Remember Fleming walking straight back in the squad after costing us the win against Widnes? I know sometimes coaches need to take emotion out of making selection decisions, but I was very surprised to see Fleming play. With Eldon Myers playing for the reserves, unless Kear is back from injury, looks like DFJ will play.

I know you need to show loyalty and give players a chance to redeem themselves but how many chances?

I only saw the highlights of the Midlands match and Kibula looked overweight. Disappointing. Maybe it's just me but I would be embarrassed if I was turning out looking like I was overweight. Are our fatties not not bothered?

Barrow on Sunday (if it's on) is gearing up to be like a game from the early 60s played in the mud in front of a few dwindling souls. What ever happened to summer rugby? Wrap up warm.
