We hadn't made a 'clean break' till Nicho came on, awesome performance by him, and Ryan Brierley.....how can we keep him on the bench ?
I know we have Martin Ridyard, but if we had an average stand off, Ryan would have to start every game.
Full credit to Barrow, 1st half, they easily handled our predictable attack, had a decent kicking game, tried different things, and were unlucky to be losing at half time. BUT 1st 20 minutes of the 2nd half, we were awesome, and also a mention for Stu Littler, he really does run the ball in hard EVERY time, knows sometimes he's gonna get 'smashed' by a 3 man tackle but he really doesn't care.

Craig Briscoe. Workhorse. Infact, the pack is so dynamic and mobile but get generates some good go forward and strong defence.

I'd disagree budgie, twice in the 1 st half we bombed try scoring opportunities by dropping a ball as players were going through gaps, Duffs was one, cant remember who the other was, perhaps Tommy G no 1

Overal a good performance against what will be a strong Championship 1 team , they scored 2 trys on the back of Stevo's favorite tactic, the little chip over, other than that we kept them out comfortably

Bringing on the secret weapon with 30 minutes left continues to punish teams, although nobody expected it that quickly

I understand the impact of the "secret weapon" however, when he is putting in a cracking performance every game, does he not deserve a bit more than 30 mins? By the way thought nico really did well today, speeded up the ruck plays with some great short passing too! The move from the scrum with his drop off ball to littler was class! Was my mom today!

Ridyard and Duffy aren't doing much wrong to be dropped in place of Brierley though? I'm sure we'll see more of him as the season goes on, and if the situation requires it then I'd think he'll get more game time.

Surprised no-one has mentioned McNally - he looks a natural at full back, runs the ball back hard links up well, has pace and has the passing skills of a half back i.e. McGilverys try. Only 20 I believe, not sure why it's not worked out at SL level for him, but deffo our gain.

And a top word for Gallagher as well, put a lot of work in, thought he might of been a weak link but not after today.

Worrancy also put an excellent stint in and made good yards, could be picked on in defence by the better teams though
