looking at the scores it appears another defeat is on the cards. I thought you might get a result there. whats happening?

We are being CHEATED.

Unbelievable

Whats the score? Cant get it anywhere

32-16 to barra and there last try was never a try

barrow 32 - widnes 16

yes it was, your defence left a massive gaping hole for rooney to run into. And baring in mind barrow had 3 dissallowed tries in that match, you cant really say you were cheated whatsoever.

not that one ballards try when it cleary came off ur player and went forward and then ballard touched down.

I wouldn't say we were cheated, Barrow were the better side overall. However we were the victim of some shocking decisions at crucial times.

When we were winning 10-8 there were 3 poor decisions that led to a try and at 26-16 that wasn't a try. If we're going to start accepting tries like that we may as well give up.

However we should have been out of the game by that point anyway.

well that wasnt the last try was it. i admit that was a 50/50 call, but barrow were the better side without a doubt.

Think the absense of them injured players and lost loan singings was very significant, looked a different team that the one which played in final at times.

yeh barra where the better side on the night because at crucial times in the game or decision making was terriable as it was last week against fev.. if we want to get to the grand final we need to improve in every department at play like we did against fax in the semi and the league game at home cos we were brilliant in those games and now were terribale

One thing i noticed was your half-backs didnt have a griphold on the game. The tries scored came from good running by the dummie half and good yards by the forwards. the likes of thackery and webster were non-exsistant, didnt notice webster atall.

Well, I agree that Barrow were the better side, but I expected you to win it alot sooner than you did.

I disagree about the half backs, Thackeray looked dangerous at times and put in some very good one on one tackles, Webster was quiet for his own standards but still an important player for us.

I wouldn't harp on about the loan signings much, Penny was int he team at the expense of Paddy Flynn and bar his howler on the high ball was probably our best player. And Houghton stepped into Pickersgill's shoes pretty well. Our problem tonight was the loss of Kohe-Love, Duffy, Fletcher and Morrison which disrupted how we play, particuarly the loss of Duffy who freshens up the acting half back role when he comes on. Hopefully all back for Haven and the play-offs and we'll have a good go at it.

it happens bad decisions.

we had an 9-1 penalty count against us in the first half of the rail semi. yes i am still sucking that lemon inside out

I would still swap being top of the table for a win in the NRC final if I am to be honest.

who was the lanky forward who played last nite? think he played 2nd row, i thought flynn and dodd played well for you guys last nite.

Jon Grayshon, currently on a season long loan from Quins, been a good signing for us seems out of favour at Quins and I wouldn't be surprised to see him stay next year.

Flynn and Dodd were our best players, two players who will always give 100% no matter what.

Aye, We (Barrow) wanted grayshon but he went to you guys instead.
Flynn must of been top the hit ups i was impressed with him.

I would!!

Only if he doesn't have any ambit........

v funny!!

There were some baffling decisions given by the ref and V-ref last night. We were beaten by the better side on the night though, so I can't argue with the result.

We just had too many injuries to compete with Barra, despite some good, solid performances from some of our youngsters. Flynn, and Houghton did well and Ostick played well until he went off with that head injury. He wasn't the same player when he came back on.

Our forwards were out-muscled and this made it difficult for our halfbacks to operate successfully. Dodd was our MOM imo.

This game was all about Jamie Rooney. The lad was pure class last night.

So you'd just be happy with just finishing top this and next season?


Don't talk sh/te.

Re read my post sssllllooooowwwwwwlllllyyyyy

What I put roughly translates into :-

I WOULD RATHER HAVE WON THE NRC FINAL AND HAVE THE SILVERWEAR IN THE CABINET THAN BE SAT ON TOP OF THE TABLE.

However should we win the Championship Grand Final then that would make up for it.
