BARROW RAIDERS boss Paul Crarey has told his players to block out the backchat.
The experienced coach is preparing for a Good Friday derby at Whitehaven on the back of 44-8 opening league loss at Widnes, where his side had stand-off Brad Walker sent off after an initial yellow card in the 59th minute and then winger Ryan Shaw and second-rower Jarrad Stack sinbinned.
While ex-Widnes player Walker's first card followed a professional foul, the other three were for dissent, and at one stage, the Raiders were playing with ten men.
