From a Fax viewpoint, it is nice to see that we aren't the only ones that suffer from big game hangover fever.
The result puts our league fate firmly back in our own hands and we need to make the most of it in France this weekend. I think that the inclusion of Maloney should help deal with their strong looking pack and allow us to 'outskill' them in the other areas.

That's good enough for us. In fact, the "winners" get two home draws should they make a hash of the first home match. I think the "minor premiers" also get a little plate/trophy which is always nice.  |

Do you get to "tick a box" if you are top of the league? Maybe our friends from Widnes might know, they're really into this box ticking malarky now eh?

It's only a 'tick in the box' for winning the grand final.
It does seem unfair not to get some reward for a season-long effort, and then get it for another session of knockout rugby.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Bonkers. So a competition which no one takes seriously, played in Chav-ville, and which can be won by a pure fluke with a dropped ball deciding its outcome, is classed as more important than being consistently strong throughout the entire season and undisputedly finishing top of the pile? Bonkers. Total bonkers. |

Barrow for Super League 2015: |

| Quote: Tony Fax "I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Barrow are very workmanlike but lack quality. Lack a very lot of quality. If Barrow win the league and/or the grand final I will streak across The Shay, they're bluddy rubbish!'"
I doubt any team in this league would have gone to Haven and won just 3 days after a bruising final. The 2 first half freak tries set the tone of the match and once Brett and Butler went off it was never going to be our day.
The league table doesn't lie (including 2 VERY close games against Fax). Just keep on thinking we're 'bloody rubbish' and get yourself to the gym so you look your best in your birthday suit 
It's our first season in this league and in the NR Cup final and Haven game we fielded 10 local players, a fair few of which are still finding their feet at the higher level. |

I did mention in a post earlier in the week that Haven would see you off. Its not that i think your a bad team, in fact you have done brilliantly in your first season in this league. I do however think you are an average team that is riding high due to good team spirit etc. Now you have lost a couple of games i fully expect you to get caught up by the rest of the average teams and expect Widnes to finish above you. I really hope you can prove me wrong and get 2nd because i do believe that would be a lot easier game for us than Widnes but then again i dont expect Widnes to get lucky again either so...
