From Barrow Raiders:

"58-8 down with 10 minutes to play and Raiders down to 12 men. If Toronto Wolfpack can weather the next 5 minutes Widnes might be safe"

Good to have humour in a dark hour.

context ?

Barrow were relegated as a result of their defeat by Toronto. Safety for Widnes as mentioned in the tweet came at Barrow's expense.

Ah right thanks for that.

I am gutted about Barrow's relegation. That is because three good PNG players -- Stargroth Amean, Wartovo Puara Jnr, and Willy Minoga -- came all the way from PNG and threw in their lot with Barrow. Next year it will probably be impossible to pay them much if anything if they stay with the club in League One. These three players depend upon their meagre salaries to help their impoverished families back in PNG.

Hopefully all three can find a club in the Championship to sign them and pay them a half decent wage.

I believe the PNG prop has signed for Featherstone. [Rumour]
