Just got back, great show from the lads during in some difficult spells where we had a few players off the field.

Hate to find a negative but is anyone familiar with legislation surrounding passengers on coaches?

The lads will absolutely be thrilled with a win today and then the England equaliser/winner after a beer or two will have been a cherry on top for them but many of them on camera, out of their seats, others who were seated didn’t have seatbelts on.

Just seems daft to me and opens the club right up for being reported.

It isn't against the law. Only advised.
You have to wear a seat belt if you are behind the driver.

Thought we were quite harshly penalised today. Ref caved into a band of Barrow supporters a few times who were up in arms almost every tackle.

I missed Bains so can’t comment but the Croft one was very harsh and Walmsley you see a lot of those tackles that ride up just penalties.

The nil is very pleasing after last week and Trinity were ruthless in defence.

Execution again letting us down. A lot of dropped ball, mid timed passing and we kept turning over ball from kick offs. Job done and chapter with 36-0.

Seems like Olpherts is the one Powell is going with as Walmsley can’t seem to get a look in on the wing since Wembley.

I’d like to see more of Smith. He tackled well and looked busy in the short amount of game time he got.

I like Walmsley but right now I prefer Derrell.
He makes a lot of metres from back field and that's valuable.

Isn't everyone behind the driver ??

A great defensive display, Barrow had a lot of ball close to our line but never really looked like scoring. A little note to DP must practice taking short kick offs, absolutely hopeless today, it could cost us down the line.

Barrow came with the game plan of hitting our forwards in numbers, but were running on empty after 20 mins. Thought our pack dominated and the conditions suited Tash, Hoody and Pittsy especially. A good team performance who had to deal with some, what seemed harsh decisions off the ref especially the sin bins. ( How Jerry was penalised for a head high shot when the player was about a foot off the ground ) Although as always I enjoyed going up to Cumbria.

Enjoyed the trip to Barrow although the score line doesn't reflect the game Barrow gave us. That said without 3 yellow cards we would have probably got more points. The swirling wind was a problem that Barrow used to the full with kick offs. Enjoying being on the road this season loving going to some really passionate rugby league areas

Superb defensive display, absolute quality.
Given the 3 sin bins and Barrow's excellent use of the wind, especially from short kick offs, we defended superbly.
Barrow had a few chances to score but, we every time, the boys turned up for each other.

Sure we coughed up too much ball and didn't deal with those short kick offs but defence won the day.

Uele wa immense when he cam on and our back row grafted like hell.
