I hope we lose, and all our playoff rivals win.

Best way to treat this comp IMHO. We've got a couple of reserves, a few DR, but mostly first teamers. Could come back to bite us in the @ rse if we pick up an injury or two.

I hope we win and I don't care what our playoff rivals do. One step closer to Wembley.

Injuries can be picked up at anytime so this game is just like any other. We managed to play 2 good games over the Easter period, this is no different.

I'm all for seeing us play at Wembley, but to an empty stadium after everyone's gone home?

That's how the cookie crumbles. I'd take it.

Try telling that to the players. I am sure they would all love to play at Wembley, whatever the circumstances. Dome great players down the years would have given anything to do it.

Enjoyable game. 

[Bartholemew Smythe]

Good commentary from Dave Parkinson as well.

[EssexRL]

14-6 to Barrow - who are beginning to take control. 

[Charlie RL]

Good live stream.  

[EssexRL]

I’m thoroughly enjoying the second half. Barrow playing some excellent rugby. 

 

[Stan Doffarf]

Bradford's youngest ever team, ten players on debut.

[Bearman]

50-6 FT.

great second half from the Raiders.

Pryce had Susino as MoM. In my opinion Jono Smith was Mom but Dally had a masterclass.

[Harry Stottle]

2nd live game I've watched today and in professional terms could not be firther apart the other one was Queensland v NSW, and I have thourghly enjoyed them both.

Agree with that. 

Really enjoyed the match and Barrow win. 

Missed the last few minutes.  My lad said the timing went awry.  The clock ended on 85 minutes?

The clock on RL streams starts at the kick off and runs continuously, it does not stop when the ref calls "time off" for injuries etc as it does on the BBC and Sky Broadcasts so it will always be longer than the 40min mark.

Decent first half by the baby Bulls this evening. The (well deserved) 'hair dryer' from the Barrow coach at half-time, turned it into the inevitable men vs boys blowout after the break.

But it was good to see that the conveyor belt of young talent coming through at the Bulls appears to be in good health. Some of those lads will be regular first team players before long.

Yes and I liked Leon Pryce as a summariser too.

[Bartholemew Smythe]

Dave Parkinson used to be the voice behind Leighs matches for years.He also does WDGH radio and probably covers the Wire matches via that platform.Very knowledgable and makes the commentary enjoyable. Echo the sentiments about Leon Pryce,he was also good.
