I just don't think this will happen. Des has said publicly on a few occasions that he won't 'buy out' players (or coaches) that are still under contract. The Oldham 5 and Bauer were offered to Barrow RL in order to get their respective club wage bills down, so no transfer fees were due at all.

I've heard a couple of names for our replacement hooker which are far more likely IMO.

Any of them signed on for next season? All the players at Oldham had contracts to the end of this season, Been that Barrow "took over" the contracts surely the same time-scales apply.

Then again, I read somewhere else that they were technically on loan, either way. Are their contracts up now?

Not like they're short of cash though is it?



Surely you wouldn't want any of our current squad going to any of the main opposition teams?

I'd prefer it to be Beswick if it did go through. But i've also heard a rumour about Matt Diskin going to Barrow, because he won't get much game time at Leeds now Buderus (Spelling*) is fit.

luisi to fax in exchange

Having just last week re-signed I doubt it !

Can't see it happening tbh. Think everyone knows how important he is to Fax and would rather have him playing FOR us than AGAINST us.

Completly agree I am glad someone is on my level of thinking

TBH would rather loose Penky than Gleese

just like gleeson signed a 2 year deal,

Didn't you say that about Andy Ellis?

Don't think we ever claimed Ellis had re-signed.

The speculation on Barrow looking for a hooker from Fax was originally started on this forum by Fax fans. Luisi being the subject of a player swap was also raised by Fax fans. No problem with that, all good healthy speculation and helps pass the dreary off season.

Personally I am sceptical about any proposed offer for any of the Fax squad, particularly one involving the exchange of one of our best players. Too risky to lose an established and qulaity player like Zeb on the speculation that the incoming player would setlle in the team, provide a net increase in the team performance, or most likely, stomach the travelling!

and miss out on s/l, and play in the dark
