What a win for Barrow at York, 16-24

Any other game and it would have been a try, also the yellow for Miloudi is puzzling, how many high tackle penalty calls get a sin bin for first offence? Two game changing decisions at the time but to be fair Halifax we'll deserved the win.

Barrow looked out of sorts tonight but Halifax very strong and looking like real top 2 or 3 contenders.

If I remember correctly you went into the last game you played at Barrow as firm favourites having easily beaten them a few weeks earlier at the Shay and Barrow won. It will be a tight game as both are doing well at the moment. Sammut will be key for Barrow in moving them around the field and Moore for Halifax with his strong defencive tackling. Barrow 26-22 Halifax

Big weekend for the bottom end of the table, if London win and Workington lose then you would have to say its all but over for Workington, but if they win and London lose its a 3 way battle again as I can't see Dewsbury getting a win at Bradford.

A merger has always been the answer for 2 or3 decades now. Population wise. Barrow in Furness is a huge area it includes the smaller surrounding Furness towns and villages. A quick look on the map and population, from Distington to Cockermouth and on to Wigton and everything in between is around 50,000? That's no a bad catchment area. But you are right, a merger is the only way forward.

I honestly have no idea what on earth you are on about. Who said squads come cheap? Of course you have to spend to survive in higher tougher leagues. What I said was that the majority of Borrows squad has been built over the recent previous seasons, most are locals or Cumbrians, they won the league with that preparation and then again added a mix of quality in positions it was needed in able to challenge. Its payed off, it hasn't broke their bank, they planned for it and built the finances to achieve it. So what is your point? What have they done that you don't like and hasn't it paid dividends?

What is it with you and Barrow spending money? 10 of those players have played for a number of seasons now and most are locals or Cumbrians. Yes they signed Sammut and Woods and Langtree and Iaria but isn't that what teams are meant to do in order to challenge and stay up? It hasn't broke the bank and Barrows connections with loan players have been impressive when called to do so. How much has moving your coach to live up there and on full time terms cost? I'd say close to 2 class Championship signings at least. Then those Welsh lads won't be cheap and are no better than you already had.

Wins for Batley London Sheffield Halifax York Barrow

All home wins bar Newcastle. Big game at Dewsbury where Whitehaven could edge further from the relegation zone or Dewsbury could widen their gap from the bottom 2.

Sammut misses a penalty kick to equalise. Game over 1 min to go 28-30

28-30 Barrow got ahead of themselves and try to force the win and Leigh steal a breakaway try.

Wow Barrow take the lead, 10 mins to go it will be frantic 28-24

Leigh will win I'd say but great effort from Barrow

Barrow in again 22-24 game on.

Barrow hit back, 16-24 to Leigh.

Barrow 10-24 Leigh. Leigh hit back almost straight away.

Barrow 10-18 Leigh. Great effort from Barrow.

Barrow doing really well holding Leigh to just a 3 trys to 1 lead at half time but the effort will probably tell in the second half for the part timers.

18-6 to Workington HT. Looks like a first win for the Cumbrians which will really tighten up the bottom 4 group at the half way point of the season.

All away wins accept for Widnes. Leigh to have their usual big blow out score.

I think out of the 4 Clubs Dewsbury will survive, they have at least 3 wins left in them and you feel they are slowly improving in this first half of the season, it's probably between London and Whitehaven who will also survive, removing a coach generally has a reaction on the pitch. So a big game coming up for the bottom 2 clubs. If Workington lose at home then you'd think it is too much from there on.

Hellmann! Get a grip!

Featherstone win by 12pts

Not a surprise sacking with only 1 win and a draw in 12 games. If they want to avoid the drop then now is the time to change it around with half of the season left and fresh ideas, John kear maybe?
