Been away since Thursday and missed the match at Whitehaven, kept in touch via txt etc and had a wild night on Friday to celebrate, but does anyone have a link or idea where i could see at least see the tries?

Unless you have a time machine you will probably struggle mate. Coverage of our sport is dreadful at best.

You can get a copy by ringing 01900 66611, bobg. I ordered a copy today.

I ordered my copy Friday evening. I've always thought there should be a weekly tries show from the Championships on TV. The RFL want to raise the profile of the lower leagues , that's the way to do it. It would get the clubs and players much more prominence. All the games are videod anyway... Premier Sports could do it from 6.30 - 7.30 before their Thursday game. Let's give the Championships a higher profile and prove to Sky there is life below Super League... PS it looks like Town don't have to much to fear in the Crusaders.

I think we should be putting at least 50 on them david, but points difference could be crucial this year so we should be aiming higher. I'm really shocked at how bad both welsh teams are this year.

Yep Wonky Nobles dronin on like it's Brisbane v Melbourne. But let's be honest it's like watching two decent amateur teams. Error strewn stuff played at a slow pace. We aren't Scorpions( who were unbelievably bad bar 2 Wiganers- what's happened to Rooney?), and Crusaders defence looked all over the shop at fines. We play at a high pace , get them going back and see how they handle our pack.Man of the match I thought was Smith who didn't look the most athletic but certainly kept going throughout.

Crusaders played okay in short spells with most of their play coming from Jamie Durbin or Johnno Smith. They looked to have two big lads at prop. South Wales were disappointing when you think of the players they have - the two props from Wigan, Spencer and Greenwood and nathan Mossop. Joe McKenna looked as if he's put on 2 stone since his Town days.

[DavidM]

Yep Durbin and the la'al fella ( good player , no disrespect , even he says he doesn't look the part but plays the part ) are the main men but Scorpions shocked me. Even Haven may have a chance there next game...

[DavidM]

Jamie Rooney . Poor in a pretty poor side. Looks to have lost that spark out on the paddock

[houndpup]

choccy also watched the welsh game and reckons both teams are alot better than haven

He was shocking last year at Barrow as well mate, shame as the season before he was still a force to be reckoned with...too many gambling debts weighing him down

How's Kaighan doing?

[wonky]

How's Kaighan doing?

From the sounds of things, he's doing very little as he hardly ever plays

[DavidM]

Yeh I only ask because I was scanning their board the other day and one post said he was a ' liability '... which surprised me as he was so good for us in attack. Campbell and Kaighan would do me !

[wonky]

Yeah most barrow fans say his defence is poor, which it was at town, but his try scoring speaks for itself. And this season with the amount of breaks and offloads we do, then he would of had a field day. Big mistake leaving town where he was 1st choice to be 1 of 4 half backs at raiders.

[DavidM]

Yep behind our pack which excites us all... Boy he'd have been great. Get Lupton next to him. But all irrelevant for now... Future who knows!!!!! I support Forber of course, but a little more there that someone like Kaighan has would be that last 10 percent were missing

Do you want him back? When he play's most of our conceded tries go past him. One word liability....

Aye we will have him pal. Can you sort out a loan deal?

[DavidM]

Yep we sure would
