You spelt experiment wrong.

Barlow didn't want to leave! He's been forced out! Joke of a move to our rivals, our best forward if u ask me! Good luck sam bad move Fax!

Bollocks. Have you not seen him play this season? Didnt want to leave? Dont make me laugh, he brought this about all by himself. He is a liability who was probably on as much money as most of our pack combined but probably did about 10% of the work that they put in. Waste of space that has freed up some money, a very good bit of business if you ask me.

Well said!

hope we bring in decent Pivot with any freed up cash

Not overjoyed with this as whilst Sam has not done it for us this year he is potentially a good player and a Fax lad, but loaning him is understandable but to Fev???
They must be close to their salary cap surely?

agree

Shocking decision. Our only forward who can offer something different,a bit of magic,not just a bit of biff.

I'm sure it will all come out in due course but Sam didn't want to go . However he's now gone . Ok he hasn't done brilliantly this season but he's , when match fit , one of our better forwards who was missed against fev for his go forward.. Lets hope that fax use his wage well , and from what I hear , they will do . Good luck Sam .

As long as the something different is giving penalties away or stupid offloads or half hearted drives.


The question is if Sam didnt want to go then why every other week for like the past year has he been telling people X team has come in for him offering him x amount? The club called his bluff and now its funny he is telling people he didnt want to leave. It seems the club got a bit sick of this coupled with his half assed performances and the fact that he was probably on twice the amount of money of some players that are twice as good as him and it became a no brainer. So what if he has gone to Fev, its not like he is good enough to get in their team and they will suss that pretty soon.

Not sure you're on the money with that one rickster. There's been texts flying about all season! I'm suspecting as soon as Daryl left the building Sam's move to Fev became much more likely. He wanted it big time. Our BoD certainly appear to be eager for it!
It does appear that our chairman got Fax into a bidding war for his services which have cost fax a massive wedge... and value for money doesn't appear to have been delivered. So a 'sale or return' loan deal to Fev looks a crackin option for us. He divvies up .... fair do's. He doesn't.... send him back to fax and let them keep paying him a wad!!!
Fev fans appear to be spilt in their enthusiasm for Sam's recruitment looking at our facebook page!

Does seem a strange move especially when if he does happen to play well for Fev they dont have an option on him for the next couple of years. I struggle to see what Fev have to gain from it apart from unrest in the camp.

What makes you say we have not got an option?

He signed for Leigh for 2 years from next season. Fev can't get us into a bidding war I'm afraid RFF as Sam signed a 2 year deal last Sept!! He still has 12 months of that to go!! I'm not in receipt of all the facts but as far as I am aware it's the fact the club got a sniff of his negotiations with Leigh, could have gone to the RFL for an illegal approach but have allegedly used this as a tool to negotiate something else....??!! Fev merely have a player till the end of season as we were going to make him rot in the reserves but felt it better to get the bad egg out along with his agent........ allegedly!!

I've heard that his agent is a real bellend. Rumours about Barlow's move to several SL clubs came out just after he signed for Fax!! He'll ruin Sam.
