Am I right thinking that Tafua got a 3 game ban from the Toulouse game?

Yes, 3 game ban and a fine. Jorge has a hamstring injury so fortunately for us this coincides with his ban.

Down to the bare bones at the minute with injuries. Scurr won't feature tonight according to comments from Noble in his preview clip on Bulls TV.

Barrow have started very well with 2 wins from 3 and have toppled play off favourites Oldham in their last league outing. We have the skill and quality to get the job done as long as we don't get dragged into the niggle, scraps and other nonsense they'll try to pull.


Discipline will win this game for us tonight. It was against Barrow where Taufua was convicted of biting a couple of years ago. Stay focussed and let our rugby do the talking. Hopefully, the referee sets the tone early and stamps out anything dodgy, but we can't rely on that. We have to be smart and rise above it. If we keep our heads and play the way we know we can, we'll come out on top.

Well, just seen the score.... Glad I'm on a night shift!.... Any post match analysis?

It was really bad - we look so ordinary when we come up against a side we cannot just run through. Attitude just didn't seem right to me and it's not the first time this year we have turned up not prepared to roll up our sleeves.


The halfbacks they just aren't working together either, not sure which one of Keyes/Meadows was worst last night but something needs to change there. Lilley and Keyes have played together before so that would be the obvious change to make.


We have some tough games coming up, I'm concerned. The players need a bloody good rocket up their backsides for serving up that dross on front of their home fans.
