I'm pretty sure one of the squad playing reserves can sit on the bench as 18th.

Not as simple as that though, look at what happened last week.

What happened last week that meant the18th man became relevant?

Lino dropped out?!

That maybe what they mean. But it’s still no issue.

Then the 18th man will come in onto the bench and someone from the bench will move into the line up.

I don’t get the issue. The poster is saying we need an 18th and we will have just that.

The club should be trusted to manage it. If it causes an issue tomorrow then it will be a lesson to learn for the club and for us to have a good chin wag about.

Far as I can see though there’s 17 for tomorrow and there will be an 18th if needed (who will probably do limited minutes in reserves).

To be honest it's not bad to give the 18th Man a run out. Most days he won't play.

Reserves won 18-14

All teams have an 18th man in case of 2 or more failed head injuries then the 18th man can be used as a 5th reserve !

Having to put a sick note in for this game unfortunately

Good luck lads let's make it win 13

Safe journey to all of you going

Enjoy the match

Up the Trin

3 sin bins.
I'm not sure I've seen us do that before.

Good to nil them.
Good for Derrell to get hat trick. I'm liking him. I reckon he fancies a gig in SL with us.

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.

After being pretty loose defensively last week the nil will be pleasing for the coaching staff. What's the story with Jowitt?

No story. He kicked a goal and got subbed for Walmsley last 20 minutes.

Not injured then. That's good.

He appeared to be fine so all good.

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.

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.
