Wolfpack wobbling here. They will be relieved to get away with a win here. Barrow think they can snatch this game.

A real slog in the mud. Tough stuff.

Loving the Barrow v TWP game, but I don't miss this winter mud bath slog. It's ok for a one off but this is how it used to be every week.

[Scubby]

Featherstone home and dry 28-14. Anthony Thackeray.

[Scubby]

This could be it for Barrow. Chance for a drop goal with this set.

[johnh1]

Barrow deserve to win this. 8 all. 5mins left.

Not with Richard Whiting around!

[Fabou]

why did they not try to get one point there???

 

[johnh1]

Barrow drop out. Last few seconds.

[Scubby]

Toronto poor game management there.

[Scubby]

All over 8-8 at Barrow. Fantastic effort from the home side.

[NickWeaver]

FT Barrow 8:8 Toronto

[johnh1]

Well played Barrow.

[Scubby]

Toulouse falling apart 36-14 now to Featherstone. They must be storming down the slope?

I think the wind and the ball made a drop goal not really a good idea seeing as Barrow didn't attempt either

[PatrickB]

Fun match to watch. Don't know why TWP didn't go for a kick at the end there.

Worth a shot, i would have thought.

With a few seconds left and in front of the sticks you have to go for it IMO.

[Futtocks]

Not much between Barrow and Toronto on the field, and nothing between them on the scoreboard. Pretty much the right result.

[Scubby]

Deryck Fox would have nailed is drop goal in the mud!

[Lowdesert]

Did the Barrow lad clip the Ref?

We'll find out on Tuesday, but what was shown on TV looked debateable. Could just be an accidental collision, could be an act of petulance.

Seemed to just clip him as he ran past.  Hewer went down like a sack of spuds.

Crowds: 1,266 at Barrow and 2,033 at Featherstone.

[Scubby]

Crowd at Leigh 3,216. down 2200 on last week v Toronto.

Batley possibly brought less away fans to LSV than the Wolfpack.
