2 week break for the Bulls to freshen up and hopefully continue with cementing our place in the playoffs. Holmes will hopefully return for this game with Wynne picking up a shoulder injury against Whitehaven.

Monday night tv game - but at home. A few more training sessions, a few more players back, more time to work on combinations with Gaskell. Another tough game against a side that has found a bit of form (with performances) and is also one of the 4 teams left that can “do the double” on us, which hopefully we can avoid - the other ones being Batley, Fev & York. Bradford by 14.
Barrow have comfortably beaten us in our last 3 attempts. Think they're in a false position in the league, pushed Fev all the way at the weekend. They're due a win, let's not let it be against us!
With the team directly above us playing the team directly below us, it's a good opportunity.

I'm not convinced at all by our form at the moment. We didn't have to work very hard versus Keighley, got out enthused at Widnes and were unconvincing for half the game against a plucky but massively depleted Whitehaven.

I hate to say this out loud, but two of those were away. We’ve flipped from being poor at home last year to being flaky away. Thankfully our home form is still pretty solid.

Yesterdays win was only our third win on the road all year. Our home form is much improved but we are dreadfully inconsistent away.
I know every game is crucial at this stage of the season, but I think the next two weeks will define whether we're looking up at securing a place in the top 4, maybe even second spot, a home play-off and our highest finish for years or whether we're scrambling to finish in the play-offs along with Fax & London.
Barrow at home on a Monday certainly gives us an advantage, but they're an incredibly tough team. Then we've Batley away who may have one eye on their Wembley appearance the week after. So two winnable games but both easily lost if we don't perform.
