Add Beswick and Goddard to the omissions

fax missed black to organise the other half of the line to jones.
ref did not help either side with some of the decisions. penky flattened off the ball and then penalised for it.
lots of tackling round the head let go. moore again winding players up, he is going to get hit sometime with him doing that. did it one time after barlow had been penalised then moore had a go at him.
worrincy was safe and ran as best could in the mud. ratu did well when came on. penky needs alternating with another hooker to be at his best. batley bombed some easy chances but the try they got with a massive hole in fax defence was terrible, nobody within ten metres after play the ball. but batley only scoring 11 points down that slope is good defending overall. fax could have scored in second half but ref was 2 foot away and missed batley knock the ball down and gave knock on agaist fax. good hard game in the mud though is what fax needed to set them up for the nrc.

Thought it was a good work out. Plenty of effort and strong in defence. Missing too many pivots and a boggy pitch so ball distibution was never going to be great.

More positives than negatives to take from today.

SIGN FIELDHOUSE PLEASE!!!!

How would you sum up his performance, didn't notice him come on and struggled to pick him out in play?

If you're disappointed with the score maybe you'll be less disappointed if you look at the Courier's website.

We only lost 10 - 4 on that one.

I thought he looked sharp running the ball back and comfortable enough in defence. Certainly didn't look out of place/ Was easy enough to pick out for a while because he was clean!

any other friendly matches played today?

If he was the one who came on at full back, with no shirt number, then after his initial couple of mistakes (left the gap for the try and then knocked on in our own 10 the next set of plays) he did okay, seemed to organise the players and tackled well.

was a massive gap for that try but i think he was not in the line at the time and was stood back so someone else left the gap.

Barrow beat Workington 40 - 0, Gleeson played some of the game too

Gleeson was really impressive. Came on for Mossop in the 2nd half and made a great debut; he was lightning quick from dummy half and made break after break. Lets just hope hes not as injury prone as some suggest

Bear in mind that he played a full game for Leigh East against Siddal, yesterday.

Age of he team? If thats the case you will be able to use that excuse all year. There weren't that many missing. Sounds like that 'country mile' mentality has affected you

Watene, Black, Gannon, Azue, Nash, Beswick, Goddard. 7 enough for you?

+ Larder... So that is 8

Ostick and Rudd... 10...

Did Workington have a full team ?

Who do you think Larder will replace in your best starting 17 ?

It's our yoof policy you know.

Christ! forgot about these 2 & SSDL ..... we really were an experimental side today.

So that's 10 players provided for you. We lost against Hunslet last year - at home! We even got mullered by Leigh at home! We took the top trophy though. Come back with your cack in October - if applicable

Minus 1 or two players yes.
Barrow were without Rooney, Luisi, Ostler, Baeur & Coyle.

Poor result then if they had 11,12 players on pitch

Conditions did not help, wet and a muddy pitch although it held up well under the circumstances. Why do people still rate Bowman? Two games now and he has created virtually nothing. danny Jones was very rusty he will get better, Miles was very solid as was Paul white. sam barlow has great hands he slips the ball out really well but is a hot head! Batley wanted it a bit more but to say how much ball they had and good field position then 11-4 was not a bad score for us, we did not create much which is a worry but it is only pre-season come on.
