Mick if the current Barrow side were in SL you would be missing a lot more players now out through injury , it is a totally different game , Leigh ended up using 38 players in 2005 , we basically had a whole team of players out injured for the whole of the 2 nd half of the season , you have a good squad , quite possibly the best all round team in the Championship , and it will not surprise me if you make the GF again , but you are no where near a SL standard squad

Fev played very well at Warrington, Wire weren't poor either like you often see when its SL v Chp. Overall they're the best team i've seen at that level this year. Some of their defensive structures are SL like, very well coached but week in week out (which is where the problems come) their players would be badly found out.

We all know one off cup games v SL sides are a world apart than playing SL games every week, but Barrows recent games vs Wigan home, Saints & Cas away were fairly incouraging, Yes big big changes would need to be in place, but we have to be hopeful or whats the point ?

The point , well the same as it has always been , you go to the game and cheer your team ,

If you are suggesting that SL is the be all and end all , well IMO you are wrong , and you will be eternally dissapointed

I was more kinda trying to say that you have to be hopeful or optimistic or you'd be fretting all the time and thats what i dont see the point of, if you follow my drift.

About what ?
