v Halifax

[Raider83]

Away tie this weekend. Gonna be tough but play some good Rugby like we've shown the last couple of weeks, I think we could sneak it. Any known injuries or much the same team as last 2 games?

[morty]

Difficult place for us to go and can't remember the last time we got a result there?? Just a decent performance and no injuries will do

[Ovenden Grunt]

If we play owt like we did up at your place you'll be travelling back to Lancashire with big smiles on your faces. It's so hard to predict Fax games this season as we never seem to be consistently good or bad.  I'll go for a Fax win with home advantage though by summat like 34v14.

That's s very old map. As we are called a Cumbrian team it might be a giveaway !!! And our coach is the Cumbrian coach and most if the players play for Cumbria. ... and again   we live here you dont. Lol. 

Unfortunately I think Fax will win. We not been great on the road this year at all.

Our friends on the other side of the Pennines have no respect for the 1974 boundary changes.

This is why they sing "YOOOORKSHIRE" and not "WEST YOOOORKSHIRE"

Last time we won in Halifax was it 2019? we either won there and beat Fev at Barrow or other way round not sure

Didn't you beat us at Fev then get relegated. Think Dewsbury won at Fev too if my memory serves me right.

Yeah 32-22 Dewsbury beat us at Fev Barrow beat us 38-16.

[Raider83]

Good start by The Raiders to go 16-0 up but Fax brought it back to 16-12 at half time with Sammut sent off

When are players going to learn about back chatting the ref? Latest score 42 - 20. 

[Jarc]

A disappointing collapse, especially disappointed in Sammut. His old is he now? He should know better

[Raider83]

I think we'd of still lost but definitely wasn't helped by Sammut. He should know better

[2Cents]

Not phased by the expected loss to Halifax, actually a thrashing, 48 - 20....even after being 0 - 16.

Only a 3rd, 2 point loss, would bother me.

3 or 4 more wins from the other bottom 6, Whitehaven, Keighley, York, Swinton and Newcastle will keep us up.

[Ulverstonian]

Not bothered about the actual result. 2 points or 40 points is still a loss. 

The ban is the issue that Sammut will get. RFL is clamping down on dissent,  quite rightly in my opinion,  so that will hurt us more than todays result. 

On the plus side hopefully Archer will get his chance and prove what I think in that he is the future . 

[mickmike wilson]

Going to be a long ban if the RFL are consistent, Meladdo the other night got SEVEN didn’t he!

[Ovenden Grunt]

I don't know what Sammut said to the ref but it must have been more than just dissent for a straight red. He cost your lads any chance of a result although I thought Fax were getting on top at the time. I will say that Barrow were a far better team today than up at your place.

[Neutralfan7]

Is it a worry for Barrow that Sammut will receive a heavy ban? With Carter leaving,  I know Archer is highly thought of down there but it's a lot of responsibility on his shoulders for a young lad who hasn't  seemed to of played a lot of first team rugby? 

[Ulverstonian]

Archer will be fine given chance

[Raider91]

Gillam leaving the field injured a huge blow hopefully nothing too serious. I believe we've got another injury too, not sure who? We've been desperately needing another prop for a bit I feel we need to recruit a couple of forwards to get us over the line this season.

[richie keay]

I agree losing Gillam lost us the match
