| Quote: Stockwell & Smales "I thought it was a bloody awful boring game. Full of mistakes and ill discipline. We dont seem to able to number up and slide on our right side. Brown is ok running with the ball but his defence is dire. Its a win though and Scurr and Crosslbey were tremendous. Big future ahead for Ebon as he can only get better.'"
Agree scurr looks a player. Will be happy if we hang on to him and not the usual make a name and move on..

| I listened on the Beeb and it was a feed from BBC Cumbria. Inevitably a bit biased to the home team, but the commentator and the summariser (who was the Barrow coach) were super-impressed by Ebon Scurr

| I'll be amazed if Scurr stays. If he gets a SL offer he'll be gone and you wouldn't blame him.

| Failed again to play for the full 80 minutes. We are still lacking fitness in key areas. Hopefully that is something that can be worked on and we can keep moving forward

From what I've seen so far, he's far too raw for a SL side to be taking a chance on him just yet.

Sadly so, although you would think another couple of seasons in our setup would also serve him well. We can hope!

| Another win today in what is always a tough away day, I am sure Kear will be happy with that after the long drive up to Cumbria.

Always amuses me that "the long drive to cumbria". The players have a lovely 2 and half hour sit on a bus. I drive it regularly, its no biggy..
Good win all the same without pulling up trees...

Well I am reasonably confident no bus does that journey in 2.5 hours, either way it is usually a tricky away fixture for various reasons so I think the team will be satisfied with that result.

| notice from post match interview that Kear was less than impressed with the Refereeing. Can't say it seemed too bad during match although there did seem to be a lot of set restarts in whitehavens favour for no obvious reason.

They will sign him and loan him out. Not much of a punt or risk for a SL team. Most teams in our division would take him on a loan. Just hope he sticks with us.

| I think he's a Bulls fan is Scurr so may not be in a massive rush to move on. Hes playing reguarly and playing well. His time in SL will come.
I have to say though he's getting better each game. When crowds are back I think he'll go up another level. I remember when we had Fielden & Anderson, when either of them got the ball the whole crowd lifted and got behind them each and every carry. I think the same will happen with Scurr and will push him on even further than what he's doing now in front of empty stadiums.
Shout out to Tom Doyle too who I think is maturing into a very good hooker. I can't remember any bad passes off the deck he's made. His defence is outstanding too. He made a crucial tackle yesterday that is he hadn't have got back, Haven would have been in under the posts and right back in the game.

Going back a little further, the same used to happen with Paul Meadly. It was great when he came off the bench. Always a big roar for his first touch of the ball which almost always lead to a tackle bust and him leaving a couple of defenders flat on the turf. Good old Northern days

| Scurr is 1 of 6 Stanningley lads playing regularly in our team.
Hopefully Lilley, Hallas and Brown having been at SL clubs can convince him that playing regularly in the Championship for us is going to do him no harm.

Medders had definite pace for a second row as well though and scored from with in his quarter on many occasions. That said both Ebon and Doyley are no slouches and can only improve - assuming we can hang on to them for a while before their obvious talents take them further in the game.
