Barrow's last six matches:
Sheffield (H): Won 8-6 Batley (A): Lost 22-2 York (A): Lost 54-12 Wakey (H): Lost 36-0 Swinton (A): Won 24-10 Halifax (H): Lost 38-28
Total For: 74 (Average 12.33), Total Against 166 (Average 27.67).
Barrow's win against Sheffield was a surprise. That didn't look on the cards based on their earlier results. Their win at Swinton probably shows they could pose a serious threat to us if we're not on our game.
Bookmaker's prediction: Dons to give Barrow 12 points start.
After our win at Featherstone, our self-belief should have been boosted. We can't afford to lose the 'must win' games against teams in the relegation mix, like Barrow.

I went to the Barrow Eagles game on Sunday, as I was up there with work. Barrow should have been well beaten ,Sheffield bombed at least three tries and got nothing from the referee what so ever, on any other day Sheffield win easily. It just goes to show what a competitive division The Championship is this year, where anyone can beat anyone if your off your game and don't take your chances.
.If we bring the same intensity as Saturday then we should be ok but I would happily take a one point victory at this stage of the season. Hopefully Sheffield and York can do us a favour and beat Haven and Swinton.
