The Phantom Horseman 1,693 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 Six league wins on the bounce have seen us move up from eighth place, clinging onto the coat tails of the top 5 contenders in 8th place, to sitting proudly in third right now. But there's another potential landmark in sight this weekend; if we beat Barrow, and Toronto beat injury-hit Toulouse in Canada, we will go second on points difference. It's only a few weeks ago that Toulouse already looked home and dry for 2nd place behind Toronto. Ryan Carr will be warning the players for sure that there can be no slip-ups or complacency this weekend; he will be pointing out that Barrow beat Halifax last week and made life tough for us in the second half at their place earlier this season. And he'll remind them about the Dewsbury game, and that you can't afford to let your standards slip at all in this league. We will still be strong favourites though, and should be able to pick from a settled squad once again - what a difference to earlier in the season. Ferguson has gone back to Huddersfield, but Davies presumably is ready to come back in. It will be interesting to see if Calum Turner gets a game this weekend, but either way Ryan Carr's biggest problem will again be who to leave out.

Apparently Paisley is dealing with an ankle injury which may keep him out this week, and Jarrad Stack, who always seems one of their best players when I have seen Barrow, has headed back to Australia because of a family illness.

Yes, saw that Stack had had to go home for a while which is a big blow for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Phantom Horseman 1,693 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 Squad announced https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/19-man-squad-announced-for-raiders-visit-Lawh8 Briscoe called up by Leeds, Davies and Teteh also not in the squad. Calum Turner is in the 19, perhaps he'll get a game on the wing (as he did against Sheffield earlier this season), though Render is the other obvious alternative on the wing. Corey Johnson is in the 19 as well as Maskill, so chances are this is one game where we won't see King for 80 minutes, which is understandable given the huge shifts he has been putting in.

It did cross my mind that King might be rested for this game with 3 big games coming up against fax, Leigh and WP after the Barrow game. So the team might look like: Golding Turner Sutcliffe Hardcastle Carey Holmes Chisholm Wheeldon Maskill Makatoa Day Walters Lockwood Bench Johnson Cooper Harrison Ormondroyd Quote I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

The Phantom Horseman 1,693 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 yep...you would think one of the 3 hookers will be one of the players to miss out so they might just rest King, and the other to miss out will presumably be one of the guys who can play full back or wing (Golding, Turner, Carey, or Render, probably the latter).

elppaxr2i 434 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 Quite frankly the attutude was disgusting Some of the players believed the hype and thought they had to turn up and it was job done Instead they came up against a team with little pressure on them who chanced their arm and threw it about a bit and we got what we deserved I was expecting to see a big following next week vs Fax but people might think twice after that shower today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
