Barrow: Paul Crarey wants Raiders to keep ‘riding wave’ at top of Championship

Barrow were fourth in 2022, but finished in 10th in 2023 and 11th last season.

But in a division with more fancied ex-Super League sides including Bradford, Toulouse, Widnes Vikings and Halifax Panthers, Crarey said that his men would not be afraid to ruffle a few more feathers.

“We’re not afraid of anyone and we’re not afraid to play,” he said.

“We’ve come here and got an unbelievable result. We turned up, gave it our best shot and came out on the right end of the scoreline.”
