v Toulouse (a)

[RLDB]

Ridiculous having to play away on Saturday after last nights away game at Haven, sums up the sport in this country. Am I correct in thinking we signed a few local amateurs on dual reg before the 4th August deadline? If so play them all on Saturday. Dead rubber of a game for Barrow, more important game’s coming up.

Don't want wood or stack anywhere near this game. Some massive games following this weekend and we're going to need those two fit

Not gonna look too much into this game, fantastic if we put up a good fight but with the squad as depleted as it it, just try n get back in one piece for the week after

I fully agree with the posts above basically saying Select the weakest squad that’s legal & take the hit as it’s a dead rubber. 
 

it’s the other games v those around us need HAVE TO WIN

[Bring back GB]

At the same time we need to do our best to avoid our points difference taking a battering as it is currently much better than teams around us.

Toulouse have injuries too and will play a weakened side. Temperature up to 40 degrees this week but cooling down to more normal conditions by kick-off. It’s a tight ground, nothing like the large expanses of Ernest Wallon at Toulouse. Barrow will find it easier to defend.

Safe trip to all travelling to France.

Swinton gave Toulouse a good fight and were leading at half time

True but TO13 had a much weakened side with two part-time half-backs filling in. Swindon did ok in the extreme heat but their lack of fitness ( not surprisingly) compared to the full-timers caught up with them.

Just been to the ground. Pitch looks in perfect nick, heavily watered due to the record high temperatures. Will be much cooler Saturday afternoon.

Barrow have to keep going,play each game as it comes,can't play all the amateur lads at once ,it's not fair get them injured and sickened. Play each game as a cup final and barrow will be ok

Just lit the fire.

[Raider83]

18-6 down at half time, I'll take that tho

[RLDB]

Think damage limitation was achieved yesterday, not too many points conceded. Keighley, Swinton and Haven all lost today. Next 2 games are massive for Barrow. 

[Ulverstonian]

Feeling more confident after todays results

The boys played well, Ryan Johnston  looked a class act. No bad performances, good luck for the remaining games.
