750VFR Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Let's have some positivity, the season starts again on Sunday and with recent performances it's not pie in the sky to believe the Raiders can win. I've seen predictions of Barrow wins in earlier months and been entirely sceptical, but I'll be at CP on Sunday convinced that a win is not only possible, but highly probable.

UpTheRaiders Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I can't believe this game is now a winnable game, shows how cresta far cresta and the lads have come this last week! Assuming we've still got the long term absentees plus stack still away I'd go with: 1.Cresswell 2. Carter 3. Cross 4. Star 5. Ritson 6. Dalli 7. White 8. Johnson 9. Puara 10. Susino 11. Walne 12. Paisley 13. Aspi 14. Walker 15. Smith 16. Toal 17. Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheRaiders Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 On a side note fantastic to see the support from our fans on Facebook for our young autistic fan from St Helens who wanted to come to the game on Sunday. Chris Fleming is bringing him through & taking him back home and he's had offers of food and drink and even been invited up to a sponsors box we do have some brilliant fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAIDERSRUS Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Can really see a Barrow win, hope so. Read that Toulouse have some injurys too to key players and coming off a trip to Toronto it will be hard for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday is definitely winnable after the last few performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vet Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I think the crowd could play a massive part on Sunday, the lads have had a tough week so fatigue could play a part, if the crowd is buzzing though players energy levels raise again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley I'd play; Cresswell Ritson Amean Paisley Cross Dallimore White Johnson Puara Susino Morrow Smith Walne Subs: Toal Walker Riley Johnston (to be used as a quick spell 9) I'm presuming aspinwall, jake carter mossop, duffy, Shane toal, Hulme, crellin, minoga still carrying knocks, charnock banned and stack away. Good strength in depth now being able to leave the above out and still have Loxam, spedding, Brett Carter, Ford as fit able bodies to come back in. We have a good squad on the face of it, let's turn the French lads over, start climbing the table and build for next year. Up the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my reading this is just a fans forum, not a supporters forum, watch a game, are you having a ., they'll all be sat at home complaining of poor radio commentary Course I'll be there: starting to rain in Kendal but I'm sure it'll brighten up on the drive over.

RSN Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Got beat 36 - 6. We didn't play badly to be honest. Combination of them being a very good side, not getting any 50/50s and a few individual errors cost us. Not a fan of slagging refs off but the way he reffed it was bizarre. Literally doesn't blow for anything for 60 minutes and gives them most decisions and then spends the last 20 minutes evening the penalty count up with penalties which weren't even penalties. York fortunately scored last minute against Dewsbury which has helped us. Massive game next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barroooww Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 To be honest we were pretty poor. Lucky to get our try which is probably the best we’ve scored down CP since James Nixon’s effort against Wigan. Just looked frightened to attack in their ten and tried to rely too much on barging over. Toulouse are an excellent side though and showed their class at times. Every time Ford got the ball it was like slow motion. Hope Paisley is okay too. Huge game next week which could make or break our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDERSRUS Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Simply beaten by a much better team. Toulouse were bigger, faster and stronger across the park with some real classy players. James Ford is a magician with ball in hand, a pleasure to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They guy could probably quote easily play top end super league. Spoke to him when we played Toulouse at their ground last year and he said that he’s had offers but loves the lifestyle out there!

UpTheRaiders Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Huge game next week hopefully Stack is back over from aus as I think Jono could do with a rest 3 games in 7 days with 2 of those games coming at 9 has probably taken it out of him. Any news on Willie? He's been missing for a long time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
