Beaten by the better side. I thought our pack looked big and dangerous at times Adam Walne and Ben Harrison making big impressions. Callum Bustin looked a handful too. Unfortunately as per usual far too many silly penalties costs us time and time again. Our halves didnt offer much either. Didnt think the 9 Swarbrick was that great his distribution looked very average, defensively looked fragile. I wouldn't not be surprised if we have a replacement for Lunt in before the league starts. Think we'll have a good side when the league starts just a shame we didnt win today it was a winnable gam

Current squad Full Back - Cresswell Wingers - Shaw, Toal, Ritson, Ford Centres - Hulme, Tyson, Miloudi Halves - Dallimore, Johnston, Carter Hookers - Mossop, Dowsett, Swarbrick Props - Forster, A.walne, Duffy, Mcbain, Terrill, Bustin Second Rows - Stack, Morrow, Crellin, Hopkins Loose Forwards - B.Harrison, D.Toal, J.Walne

Ryan Shaw signing putting together a decent squad here

Good solid prop, 100 percenter. I would say he is an excellent L1 prop and lower end championship prop. He will give you everything he has strong carrier and doesnt shirk it in defence good pick up

Stack signing a 2 year deal is a bonus, thought last year was his last year.

Adam Walne rumoured to be joining us for next season would be a good addition hopefully his brother will help get that over the line for us.

Great signing, presume that rules out puara coming back. Hopefully he can stay fit we have one of the standout 9s in the comp.

Going to be a tough league to get out off. Rochdale throwing money around, workington will strengthen again. Newcastle will not be shy in the transfer market neither will doncaster. Ottawa an unknown but will be more than competitive. Key for us is to keep the travelling players we have Forster, Jewitt & Walne especially if we can keep hold of the pack and maybe add to it we should be in position to challenge again.

Personally I have been watching the Raiders since the late 90s. This is he best side I've seen in my life time; 1. Broadbent 2. McGillvary 3. Harrison 4. Hankinson 5. Nixon 6. Rooney 7. Holt 8. Bullock 9. Ellis 10. McDermott 11. Catic 12. Ostler 13. Luisi 14. Campbell 15. Atkinson 16. Bracek 17. Susino Left out a few big names Jack Hughes, Niall Evalds, Andrew Henderson, Michael Knowles, Paul Noone to name a few. Give me yours.

What's happened to this? I thought this was a really good idea and the future. I dont believe streaming home games for free will help attendances, raiders TV at £5/10 a month showing live games is surely the way forward?

Superb result, well done all

Millom, been playing for the barrow academy side. Also played for cumbria U19s.

Yeah but you've got our best player in susino. He was immense against yous lot last year.

Great to have two more on board. Tyson looks like he should have been in the set up earlier, been very impressed. I see james hasson former manly, salford and wakefield has comeback to the uk looking for a club, been doing some training with leeds RU. Front rower with decent pedigree. One to look at maybe?
