Mago looks several levels fitter than last year still the odd that offload but generally more no nonsense and solid good to see. Hill was similar nothing fancy just makes the rock hard graft stuff up the middle look easy. Miski solid as usual and can finish a try not many better back ups in SL. Didn't see loads of highlight stuff from Ellis or O'niel or anyone else in a tough first half. Second half against an increasing wind it was tough going but these games show the young lads the levels they need to step up to several look comfortable already..
I imagine Forber Hill Astley Eccersley Douglas will get first hit outs of the younger lads on show when needed I can't see Forber not putting serious pressure on being around that first team sooner rather than later would make a huge difference to our threat ball in hand.

Hope Barrow is even better & hopefully drier than the last time we played there. It was torrential rain for the full game!

Wasn’t that impressed with any first team that played to be honest, miski has a strong carry but is slow and weak in defence, shorrocks is the same as always, plenty effort not much else, mago some strong carry’s but a player of his calibre should be doing more, Ellis long minutes but not massive yards made, O’Neil, didn’t see much of, game improved when Forber came on. Some good young talent coming through though and you can’t take too much from that game. In regards to Barrow, Spoons pub is decent but team straight down the tunnel after the game and not bothering clapping the travelling fans rather a poor do. Not a bad trip but I’d say a Wigan tv job a better option next time round. Up the cherry and white.

I said exactly the same, I know it was a home game for Barrow but they went to all their fans & some stopped talking to individual fans which was nice to see.

I spoke to the team coach driver who I know before & after the game, got acknowledged by Kris Radlinski as he drove past, Matt Peet pulled up at the side of me for a chat with Lockers & Tommy in the back
