What position does young Rowan play ?

He's a 7

Great !

Seem to remember a while ago DP mentioned something about us having a highly promising young half back at the club.

It has been posted on the club's Facebook page that Rowan will be on the bench against Barrow

Love the phone call to his dad

Always looked good in the Shaw X side coming up to scholarship, glad he came to Wakey as I’m sure others would have been looking

Be nice if we can get two or three sets in before we spill the ball.

On me jollies at moment so cannot get tonight, and once again no Radio Leeds coverage, Shame on them.
So it's looking like Radio Cumbria for me.
Good luck boys.

Noah Booth starting alongside Max in the halves. Pratt on the wing (unless him and Croft do a bit of switching about). Harvey Smith playing 80 minutes at hooker by the look of it. Vagana in the back row. Strange team, should learn a bit, looking forward to it!

150th half pairing of the season! Saw Stephenson practicing at dummy half so he may spell Smith. Certainly a funky line up so likely to be a struggle. Barrow's halves were pretty good from what I can remember.

Olpherts spills it in 1st set but ref says it went backwards.

Type of game we need to practice holding onto the ball, result not in doubt, let's compete sets and get into the habit. Guilty of over playing again.

Attack has looked pretty fluid considering. Smith providing plenty of spark at 9. Vagana making yards.

Exactly what we didn’t do. Strange one today.

We turned over a lot of ball today and repeatedly didn’t finish sets. Barrow were unable to punish us but the playoff teams would be more likely to.

I feel we were experimenting and chancing our arm today rather than looking for consistency in high set completion and structure. Seemed to be the opposite of what Powell said last week.

We didn’t feel the danger of the poor handling or penalties on our line due to a combination of strong D and toothless opposition but if we serve up as many errors last week I’m not sure it will be the best prep.

Despite that it was a good score line and there were good try’s scored.

I like Harvey Smith at 9. He won’t be far off ready after another pre season. Be happy to see him play next year but maybe early season a championship loan to somewhere like York could really bring in his game.

Pratt was class, Rodwell was a force. Uele finding his feet again and played very strong in the middle.

Happy with that overall.

Jowitt is going to cut that world record pretty close!
