To be fair, you'll never see Mathers drop a high bomb, he'll just let it bounce.

[quote="JohnP"]I'd be gobsmacked if we didn't win by at least 30. No offence to Barrow, it's just that RL throws up very few cup surprises in the way that football does. I'm sure someone will put me right, but I'm struggling to think of many occasions when a team outside of SL has put a play-off level SL team out.

That said, if Barrow do score a couple early on it could get very interesting[/quote]


2006 RL Cup quarter final

Hull KR then top of NL1 beat Warrington then 4th in SL by 40-36 at Craven Park, Major difference between Rovers and Barrow is that HKR were full time but nevertheless no one expected them to win - fantastic cup tie and they were well worth it on the day

Well remembered - knew there'd be exceptions, but you take my point. Guess it really comes down to just how much confidence our squad has, and whether they can consistently do the simple things well. If they go down early on & start to play panic rugby, it could be uncomfortable.

Still think we'll win reasonably comfortably
