Sheffield(H)

[Wandering pete]

The Eagles occupy 7th spot with 8 wins from 13 starts.A real curates egg of a season so far..on the road they have won 6 from 8.Haven (11-4),Hunslet(24-16),Hornets(44-20),Dewsbury(18-16),Worky(28-16) and Fax(28-14) with defeats at Broncos (4-48) and Widnes(12-16).At home just 2 wins from 5..Raiders(22-6),Salford(38-26)..losing to Oldham(30-36),Dons(0-46) and Broncos(10-72).Points difference of -67(269-336).A chance for the Raiders to put right that defeat back in February when self inflicted errors gave the Eagles a flattering victory.

Finally a game I can get to, on paper they have a very strong squad. Barrow are playing well at the moment and will hopefully have too much for Sheffield. Ritson is a big miss however Tom Forber is a great player to bring in to Cover Josh Wood. 
Barrow 26 Sheffield 8. Att 1850. 

[Bring back GB]

Our bogey side.

We need to be on top form.

[Raiderfan79]

Barrow 36 Sheffield 18 att 1870 i think we will have too much for Sheffield and we owe them one 

[RLDB]

Well that was hard to watch tonight, but a wins a win. With Bullock, Walker and King off the pitch Barrow had very little go forward.

Think I heard attendance was 1300 for this first 6pm Sat. game - 500 missing from a 3pm Sun. game.

[Raider91]

1400 there, crowd will have been effected by big games at Barrow Island and Walney respectively. 

On the game, I thought Shane Toal was exceptional in defence arguably the best I've seen and a great assist for Robsons try. Emslie defence on the other hand was far less impressive.

Gritty performance which got the job done. 

 

[Raiderfan79]

Poor attandance about 400/500 down cant see Walney event effecting that many off gate and didn't barrow island play this afternoon was a close game sheffield were a decent side could of gone either way but it's another win though win again next week against Dewsbury an Salford away we should win even though they have improved  then a tough Newcastle fixture which I think we will win in a close game and then 2 tough away games at Widnes and Oldham we might have a chance at Widnes but probably lose to Oldham

Sheffield scored a try to level the score through Shane's position when he was laying injured on the half-way line. Not sure if Richards was sitting in the sin-bin also. I agree about Emslie, he missed numerous tackles. Understand Costello will be back next week.

Very strange game to watch for me,little cohesion on both sides in attack and defence throughout.I thought a draw was probably a fair result but so glad we come out on the right side of it.

Disappointing crowd,maybe the 6pm Sat night ko is no good,also streaming live on YouTube maybe had an effect?

Fair play to club for trying different things but I’m unsure what the benefit is from streaming live for free,maybe someone can enlighten me?

Might the football World Cup have had an effect?

[UpTheRaiders]

A win is a win against one of our bogey teams. Thought Teare, King and Bishop were all exceptional. Onto the next one

Workington Town 24 - Oldham 28

Oldham scored a late try today to clinch the game.

Fantastic effort by Town

[Raiderfan79]

A Good effort by town but i still feel Oldham will have too much at home for us we can't win them all lol I think we will probably only lose another 2 games all season until play offs Oldham away being one as they well beat us at home

They may well have too much for us however they no longer have Riley Dean, who was instrumental for them in that defeat.

Road dogs at their best can give them a game I reckon
