RLDB Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Whilst I don’t expect to see a Barrow victory on current form I’d at least want to see Barrow compete for the 80 minutes. I’d go with the following: Broadbent Bulman Worthington Thornley Shaw Archer Sammut Iaria Wood Gillam Langtree Stack Wells Bench : Burke, Evans, Emslie, Saunders. 18th Man Cresswell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Cents Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Surprised Archer not in the 21, no Corkill either. Be interesting to see who fills left-wing, Shaw or Toal? Expect Shaw will edge it due to his kicking. Not seen the state of pitch after all this rain, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mud-bath meaning it'll be ruined for a while. At least 3 teams are playing on it now, over used it seems and probably no funds to spend on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring back GB Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Bet young Archer is pi**ed off. What has he got to do to deserve a chance, unless he's injured ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruner Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Rio and Ellis will probably get there chance next week. Would you play rio over Thornely and Worthington? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red square Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I wonder if it is a co-incidence that this was the most disciplined performance that the team has put in for some time? Tremendous effort from the forwards who looked more like the pack we had last season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLDB Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 That’s what everyone wants to see, $hit loads of enthusiasm and effort. Struggled to pick a man off the match, great team effort. Well done all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruner Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Toal had a great game. Like did all the lads. If I had to pick one it would be danny langtree. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have to agree Toal gave it everything today, as did the rest of the boys they showed real passion and desire to put right the problems of the previous games, I knew there was a better team than the results suggested. Thornley made a massive difference under the watchful eye of his coach, shame we had to take him off after the hour mark, let's hope the lads play with the same effort next week which will be without Thornley as it's the cup game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSN Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Well deserved victory. If we cut out the errors we could have won by more. I think the errors are coming from a lack of confidence which hopefully today will rectify. Hopefully this is the kick-start. I wish the Whitehaven game on good Friday was next week. Today convinced me we aren't a risk of going down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider83 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Quality result today and a much improved performance. Hopefully give the lads alot of confidence. Thought Thornley was brilliant, hopefully we can extend his loan. They all gave 100% today, well done Barrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Cents Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Agree with all the comments. Much better determined team effort and if we continue like this we should secure several more wins, especially at home, to take us out of the bottom 2. There were many excellent individual performances, Broadbent once again and Toal made good amends for his previous poor games. Only downside was not having Shaw as goal-kicker. He would have converted all the tries and 4 extra points could have been the difference between winning and losing. But there's no current spot for him at centre and to be frank I'd rather select Corkill if the excellent Thornley leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulverstonian Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Well. Just home from a fantastic nerve jangling brilliant match. Whatever has gone on since Monday has certainly galvanised the team. Every man deserves credit and our go forward was excellent, defence brutal and mistakes and penalties limited. We all are quick to diss them but today was everything we have been asking from them. Onwards and upwards. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawlinsonRaider Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Really good all round performance today. It made a big difference to see all the big forwards putting in a big shift and less errors (although still too many). Certainly deserved the win and need to focus on the Whitehaven game now and just get the cup game out of the way without injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morty Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 It was the effort and determination that was on show today which had been missing this season. Also game management when we went 16-12 up was excellent. It is how we will have to play going forwards. Shout out for Ryan Johnston today thought he was brilliant but the whole team finally gelled. Well done to the coaching staff as well they must've worked wonders this week. 4 Lee Morton Raiders have risen from the ashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Cents Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Yes, it was a great team performance, but let's not overlook it was the individual skill and determination of that man Jarred Sammut who scored the last try that won us the game. Halifax fans on their FB are roasting their team for losing to 'bottom-of-the table, average Barrow', after beating Featherstone away last week. Their coach is blaming 'the heavy pitch conditions', which I thought was a pretty dry, non-muddy surface considering all the rain. The Panthers will be seeking revenge next week at home, making our task that much harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pack got dominated. They only really got field position from our errors which were generally due to us throwing the ball about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Winger Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Superb today first half errors killed us at times second half only one team winning that. Last 15 Halifax were blowing out there backsides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Great win for you guys today, love seeing the reaction by smug Grix whenever they get beat. Only a matter of time before Barrow turned a corner as you're a good team! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
