Put temporary lights up when we played widnes few weeks back they were very powerfull so much so you could see for miles even a country mile

Yeah.We haven't beaten Toulouse yet....................

Quite right!

The more I think about Saturday's game, the more I start to worry. Fax have a bit of a habit of slipping up in what could be considered, to use a cliche, 'must win' games.

Let's hope they don't try, as they say, too hard but take a professionally relaxed approach, if there is such a thing, and just play to the best of each individual's and the team's ability. Then hopefully the result will take care of itself and Fax will win. But Fax cannot take Toulouse too lightly despite the result over there as they have taken a few scalps on the road, Gateshead and Fev included.

If we can't beat Toulouse at home then we shouldn't even bother thinking anything of a GF appearance.

True, but..........

The next few weeks will show the real mettle of the side. Can they go all the way or will they implode again? It's going to be interesting, not to say, nailbiting.

I'm keeping everything crossed for Saturday.

Craven Park might be one of the worst RL grounds (a throwback to the 1950s or earlier and such a contrast to the extremely high-tech industrial complex across the road), but it must be the only one where, a couple of miles or so outside the town on the main road in from Ulverston, you are quite likely to see giraffes or rhinos (no, not Karl Harrison) by the roadside (behind a fence though). Anyway, that's what I saw on a recent trip to Barrow.....and I hadn't been drinking.

That'll be the South Lakes Wild Animal Park.

When will we ever learn? Toulouse have won 9 lost 10, they're not dummies, and especially the way we've played the past few weeks why do folk think it's gonna be a walk over!?

Hey, we've got a head start over Barra then, they lost at home against "mid table" Gateshead on Monday

They've been exempt all season but t hasn't stopped them from winning some matches! Anyway, we're exempt from promotion, so why should WE bovver?

OK, if we lose to Toulouse (I smile every time I say that), we deserve to win nowt!!

If we win, we're second (but you all know that!).

The key is HOW we win on Saturday. Hard fought, but a strut, and some class, and we'll be set up for the play-offs.

Easy win (playng badly) or scraping a win, and I've little hope for the playoffs. Stuff 'em, and it's a bit of a two-edged sword...

Roll on Saturday, the season (really) starts here...!!!

[sizeC'mon the FAX[/size

Sheffield won though come on.
Shame it was not by 13 points but they made Barrow look very ordinary.

I thought the eagles played very well. Kept it simple, kept possession, variation on the line, strong in defence and attack and turned barrow round with the kick on the last tackle. Simple but effective and something we have been crying out for all season.

Hats off to them, cos of great coaching and making the most of their talent, they're looking great for the play offs
