Coach Paul Crarey has made a number of changes to his squad for the Betfred Championship game at Sheffield tomorrow.
There’s a welcome return for forward Danny Langtree after injury while French international centre Hakim Miloudi is back following a one-match suspension.
Tom Hopkins, Connor Terrill and Shane Toal who weren’t involved against Whitehaven last week are all included again.
Barrow have put themselves in strong contention for a play-off after outstanding back-to-back performances against York City Knights and Whitehaven.
The Raiders are sixth and now hold a five-point cushion over the chasing pack in the hunt for play-off rugby.
Sheffield are one of those sides which points to a vital clash. They made an impressive start to the 2022 campaign with five wins from their opening seven Championship fixtures. One of those two defeats came at the Johnson Prestige Stadium.
However, they go into Sunday’s clash in a poor run of form, having lost their last four matches.
Their most recent loss came at home to fellow promotion hopefuls Batley Bulldogs last Friday. A see-saw battle saw the visitors run out 20-18 winners to climb to fourth in the division, with a game in hand on third-placed Halifax Panthers.
The Eagles have a wealth of talent across the park, with Super League experience in their ranks, and they will undoubtedly be out to make amends on home soil.
The Barrow squad is: Brooks, B. Carter. Crellin, Cresswell, Emslie, Forster, Gillam, Hopkins, Iaria, Johnston, Langtree, Miloudi, Morrow, Mossop, Ritson, Sammut, Shaw, Stack, Terrill, S. Toal, Wood.
Sheffield will pick from: Guzdek, Jones-Bishop, Bower, Oakes, Bass, Douglas, Dickinson, J. Farrell, Hodgson, Halafihi, Wood, Broadbent, Kirk, Welham, Johnson, Chrimes, Liu, Williams, Laulu-Togaga’e, Holmes, Aston.
