| Very scrappy first half from both sides. Plenty of mistakes, scrappy play and penalties conceded. All in all a pretty dour first half. They sure don't look the same side that annihilated us at the Stobart.
With last week's defeat, injuries, potential suspensions and ineligible new signings also, their not looking in the best of form going in to next week's final..
I strongly believe we've got the momentum behind us now a very strong performance on Sunday and no new injuries should give us the edge we need to win

| Hope louisi continues throwing passes like he has done so far, Barrow always favour Harrisons side in attack.
The battle will be won up front, if our forwards get on top then were of and running.

| Barrow are still a very strong side though and did well to dominate in the 2nd half but they look well off form. The heat can't have helped this evening, hopefully that game will have sapped a lot of energy from them in advance of next week.
Toulouse though were shocking ball in hand and both sides gave away plenty of daft mistakes and trying to force the pass.
Gutted I'll be missing our last run out before the final

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

| I thought Rooney was excellent, and I'm glad he wont be up against us in the NRC final. That big Centre of theirs (Harrison) looks a handful as well.

| Harrison was a one time target of ours but has been faithful to his club so good on him and as you say a real handful.

they didn't beat us, we beat ourselves, especially the home league game where we couldn't string 2 passes together.

| Thought both sides were poor. Toulouse out wide in defence, especially in the 2nd half were woeful reminded me of us under McCormack. Barrow constantly had a man over.
Convinced we will see a completley different Barrow next week. We have only just appeared to have turned the corner so will have to be at our best next week to win i'm sure. However if our forwards get in top of theirs like we did against Fev and at times againt Halifax then we will win, Its not going to be easy though.

Also the wide players seem to have handling issues. It would appear that whether its with ball in hand or off the boot, out wide is where to go.
Not really sure what you would say Barrow's weakness is. They gave loads of possession away through dropped balls and also gave loads of penalties away - not sure they'll be so sloppy in the final. I reckon they will go for the safe approach against us - play mainly down the middle and try to wear us out. They'll probably give very few penalties away and also rely on their tight defence. Having said that Liam Campbell is out for the season, from what the commentators said, Catic will almost certainly be banned, Holt is also currently out injured, Brocklehurst has been sacked and Rooney wont be elligible to play in the final.
Certainly won't be easy and I'm not sure why we're favourites, but with our new recruits (since the last Barrow game), players that have returned from inury, training sorted out, performances on the up, Barrow having several players missing - our chances are certainly a lot better than what they were a few months or even weeks ago.

I thought it was Widnes?

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

Penned by Cyndi Lauper and fantastically covered by Eva Cassidy. In fact, one of her best covers...
