Also impressive that some players just gotten out of work at 4am in the morning or took half a shift off then onto a bus which took over 5 hours to get there.

I thought Barrow might nick it by a try but that was a bit of a drubbing..

What a win for Barrow. Dons 12 - 36 Barrow

This is live streamed. Should be a cracker.

Saints were totally out classed in all departments today. Their left edge was awful but even the rest of the team seemed void of ideas to break Wigan down

Isn't there one soon on a wednesday it? It happens, OK for arguments sake not too often but it's not highly unusual either.

The pitfalls of semi pro Rugby. Teams can't field their first 17 because of players jobs and shift working, especially on short turnaround fixtures, rearranged fixtures etc. it's part of the semi pro game, always had been and along with injuries it always will be.

That happens to many teams too. It's not entirely unique to one team, You just get on with it.

Each team recruits their squad and at a cost they can afford, or at least should do. Every team relies on it's fringe players to get through the season at some point or other, it's the physical nature of the sport. Being unable to field your first choice 17 ( including bench) is actually very common for most teams, 3 first choice players missing isn't unusual.
