Rams' mindset is key for Barrow, says Kelly
Rams are expecting the Betfred Championship fixture to go ahead at a ground where Barrow have drawn with Toronto Wolfpack and beaten Leigh Centurions in their previous fixtures this year.
Kelly reckons Rams will need a different attitude to their full-time predecessors. He said: “I think some of those results were down to the mindset Toronto and Leigh went there with.

“Barrow are a good side and for us to come back with the two points we have got to fight to the death.”
Kelly added: “They have had a good start and so have we. Both sides are going to find a lot out about themselves and how ambitious they are.
“After three wins from four we are going to go up there with a lot of confidence, but it is all about character.

Rams have prepared well, despite this week’s bad weather. Kelly said: “We’ve trained indoors this week and we’ve also got a full-sized 4-g field and a half-sized one.
“They are facilities most Super League clubs would be envious of and this is when they come into their own.”
Halifax’s visit to Batley Bulldogs tomorrow has fallen foul of the weather.

“I just hope towards the back end of the season the two rearranged games don’t become a hindrance, but we’ll deal with that when it comes to it.”
