Just setting off up there for weekend away.Expecting a tough maybe dour encounter.But should be good enough to get the points and at least keep a little bit of interest going for another week.

We need to win our last 4 games, so it would be classic Bulls to go and stuff this one up.

I was thinking win the next 3 and then stuff up against Rochdale

I was assuming we’d have won one of the Toronto or York games just to give us a bit of hope, then lose this one. But with the last 2 defeats, hope has gone. We’re not going to make up a 5 point gap, so the pressure should be off.

I've got an awful feeling the season is going to peter out.

On paper we should beat Barrow quite comfortably but. as we know, the game isn't played on paper. It's a long journey up there, and Barrow are scrapping for survival. I put us down for a win in the predictions league, but that was more out of blind loyalty than any expectation.

Highest we can finish this year is 6th. 5th place is beyond us now as I don't see the teams in the top 5 dropping enough points to squeeze our way in

Agree with all been said. Play-offs are all but gone. But I want us to have a strong finish to the year and finish 6th, which would be a respectable return to the championship. Think it could be an opportunity to give one or two younger players a taste of the championship as well.

It's still not over. York could quite easily lose against Toronto, Fev and Leigh. They then face an away trip to Halifax on the last day of the season. Lose that and we could jump above them depending on how the points difference looks by that stage.

York losing 32-0 at halftime in Toronto, need a heavy defeat to get that points diff down!

If the Bulls win the rest of their games, they at least will be in a position to take advantage of the other top 5 dropping games, so it's still possible and JK will surely emphasise this!

I wouldn’t be all that surprised to see us lose our next two games if I’m honest. I suspect the players know deep down that the play offs are a long shot and perhaps our intensity will drop off. Barrow are fighting for survival and Dewsbury always seem to lift their game for our visit.

I think the hammering makes points difference irrelevant now. There's a 27 point difference and for us to qualify we have to win our remaining 4 games (which includes Rochdale) and York have to lose all 4 of those. I still think the play-offs as I cant see York losing against Fax. Even then is there anything more Bradford Bulls than loving up today against Barrow?

I see we're starting with Sam Hallas at prop again

Yeah, that'll strike the fear of God into a big Barrow pack....

Green and Wood on the bench, no sign of Peltier.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like lack of muscle up front is making any difference

32-6 to the Bulls at Half Time
