Good luck today and throughout the play-offs. I'm sure all Raiders supporters will be right behind you throughout. We need all three Cumbrian clubs in the Championship mix next year whatever form it may take . COME ON TOWN !!

I think Ryan and Jake are both stars in the making ,particularly Jake who is going to be pure class. Assuming we do make it into the championship we are going to need at least one if not two experienced battle hardened playmakers imo who are used to controlling games in the higher leagues to allow Ryan and Jake to keep developing their skills gradually without the physical and mental pressures of being thrust into the cauldron of championship rugby week in week out. If Dally is going to be one of them then what about Hakim moving into the halves. I'm sure I've read he has played there before and he seems to have the creative ball handling and elusive running game that can unlock a defence. Just a thought

Agree with you RSN. He puts in massive defensive efforts whenever he plays ( I get the irony in that statement) despite getting flattened late more often than not everytime he puts a kick in. Defensively he is without doubt the best of our 3 halves atm and attacking wise he has that off the cuff ability to produce the occasional bit of individual magic when we need it. His goal kicking is absolutely first rate too and having two kickers of his and Ryan Shaw's caliber is a massive bonus to the team. I also agree with SJD, however, that his lack of discipline this season particularly has got to be a real concern going forward. Incredible effort today all the lads just got to go to the well one more time and promotion is ours

Agree 100%

All down to us again now. Carl Foster was immense yesterday but we desperatly need a couple more props back next week for what will undoubtably be the biggest game since we played Whitehaven in the 2017 final. Come on boys you are good enough to bring the title home again!!

Credit for hanging in there for the win despite only having two props for the majority of the game. Hope to God we can get some bodies back for the Rochdale game because I dread to think how we'll get a result there with the current injury situation. Any news on Bustin? Where was Emmit yesterday is he injured too? Hope Wheeler was taken off after 25 mins purely as a precaution and not because he's injured again.
