Looks like Barrow are down to bare bones for today's game at Toulouse, at least if their published line-up is accurate in positional terms. Having initially named an 18-man squad, their starting line-up lists wing Shane Toal at centre, Jarrod Sammut at hooker, Greg Worthington at prop, wing/centre Ryan Shaw at back row and hooker Josh Wood at 13 (though presumably Sammut will play as a loose-forward/third half and Wood in his normal position).

Toulouse have their own injury concerns but it will be interesting to see if Barrow can put up a fight.

Bare bones indeed and the lineup is correct

Whitehaven was the win game for Barrow

They don't mind shipping a few points tonight. Met a few fans in Toulouse yesterday afternoon and they don't mind losing by a few after Monday night

Toulouse 34-10 - not as bad as some folk feared.

That was the sort of score I expected.to be honest. Pellisier had a reasonable match and Shorrocks lasted 60minites.

Barrowesque weather, other than the thunder storm mid game, as it got slippy afterwards. Any news of the Barrow lad that got stretchered off? It didn't look good. Glad the medical staff got some applause this week rather than the abuse they got last week.

Still no band.

However, the dancing girls are back after their holidays.

Halifax 6 Widnes 14 after 29 mins, hat trick for Ryan Ince. All the inventive moves and nice three-quarter play from Halifax, but they have barely been in the Widnes half, with their try coming off a dropped high ball.

Definitely over now. 

Bassett makes in 20-0 with the conversion hitting the post.

Good stuff being played by the Broncos and the pack is just too big for Haven.

Crows very noisy and engaged for a Broncos game. Although not the largest.

London by 30.

Going to be a panic London won't have as bad a season as most hoped - for various reasons. 

DH is probably in a Panic as he probably has not booked PL for a home playoff, meaning if london finish 4th, they will probably be playing the playoff at Rosslyn Park

On cue.

If Wellington Albert had dynamite for brains

I don't think he would have enough to blow up a paper bag

Which is a shame as he has some attributes, but the need to offload wherever and whenever is really frustrating

Penalty machine too

28-6 London

Batley, York, Toulouse, Fev, Halifax,   Haven,    Bradford 

Let me guess, up against 14 plus 2 clowns on the sidelines and London were the dirtiest team you've ever played.  😂

Great prediction for Fax. 

Keep writing the Bulls off. 

 

 

 

 

All the teams are average. That’s why “shocks” are on the cards. Widnes shouldn’t be doing the double over Fax for instance
