Back to the bread and butter we play Barrow at home on Friday.   It's a bit far out but the forecast looks like it might be warmer and hopefully dry.   Barrow are a difficult side and will look to target our discipline as usual.  We ought to have enough to win.   Not sure if playing on Friday will help the attendance much.  

Well Fridays don't work for me, I'll be at work unfortunately. I noticed Barrow are streaming this match at their place, does this mean we will be streaming the game as a ppv? At least i could try and watch the game on the sly! and still earn the club a bit from others like me who can't do Fridays.

Cas fullback Fletcher Rooney has been ruled out injured for four months so I expect they will recall Luke Hooley now. 

Very unfortunate. Who goes to fullback now?

Are we sure they'll recall him?     Could see Meadows or Lilley as a stopgap fullback.  Far from ideal given the lack of pace of both.  Maybe young Raynor needs a shot?  He looked decent in pre season despite him being about 8stone wet through.

Apparently Hirst negotiated a "no recall" clause to the Hooley loan so he won't be going back to Cas early unless we allow it.  

That’s good news

Wise move Jason.
