Gutted about yesterday, terrible game management cost us that game.   However let's roll on to the next game and hopefully an away win at London.

Listened to most games on the Radio all year, and watched both Barrow games on TV.

The one thing Jonty raves on about every post match interview is Game Management, and last night it was ours that let us down.

Thought Ecclestone and Holliday were outstanding, King apart from the try had a quiet game, and their forwards outplayed ours.

The Carter try was highlight of the game, but the 2 points were there for the taking, but we managed to throw it away.

Trying to use Dion as a battering ram is a waste of his talent. Also when you sign a lad (Holroyd) who seems to score tries for fun, you have to get him into your 17.

It could go down to points difference, at the moment we are better off than Swindon and Keighley just, so can’t afford any big defeats.

Just been looking at all the fixtures of the bottom teams . One more win should see us safe . On paper  for keighley they've only got one winnable game that's barrow at home.  Only barrow seem to have an easy run in can see them winning 4 out of 5

The one thing to remember is that there are no easy games this year so to say Barrow have the easiest run in isn't correct (on paper maybe??)

Owa if it wasn’t for him tonight probably wouldn’t have got near barrow, there be no one else feeling more down than him tonight gotta regroup and go again still long way to go.
Cant believe anyone would blame him for making a mistake late on in the game, especially after the performance he had put in, thought he was M O M, and had barrow on the back foot most of the game, and at 22/22 both teams had run themselves into the ground in a good and typical local derby.

Tend to agree with that think we can write this weekend at Toulouse off. All about the games after for us.
the only way is up.

Was hoping you'd do us a favour, especially after Keighley beating Batley.

It's two from five for the dreaded drop. and no easy games for any this weekend, which could possibly be pivotal as to who goes down, when.........

Thunder host the Knights, the Cougars go to Fev, Barrow are across la Manche, you're down the "Smoke" and we have Bradford coming to Heywood Road.

I don't wanna go to Cornwall, and Colwyn Bay next term, as I'm sure you don't, but..............

I can't see any other outcome than it going down to the last day, with fans checking their phones to see what's happening elsewhere, as they chew fingernails whilst watching their own team!
