All 5 (Allen, Roberts, Coyle, Halliwell and Balard) have signed for next season, some on 1yr and some on 2yr deals. Luisi has signed for 2 years, Young for 1 year, Catic for 1 year, Bauer, Campbell, Noone, Harrison and a few others.

In a nutshell, from the first team we have retained everyone except Ellis (Quins) and Finch (Workington).

IMO we need 2/3 players to come in with a hooker being the most necessary.

I think you all should barrack the mod who removed them. Give him what-for.

lol

I agee, we need to keep Gleese, Penky had his worse season ever for us

I don't think Gleeson would fit into their team IMO. Barrow depended on Ellis ability to 'scoot' and Gleeson doesn't really do that.

think he'd be a perfect replacement.thats why hes been targeted.
hope it doesnt happen though.

Money seems to talk as far as Barrow are concerned so would be interesting to see just whether it does talk enough for Fax(and Gleeson) to accept what is offered.Is Des leaving a few blank cheques with the club whilst he is in hospital?

Jees why are we all getting excited. Glees signed a two year contract cos he wanted to stay. If he was entertaining the idea of moving on he wouldn't have signed. End of it all far as I'm concerned. Can we lock this?

Why?

Damned if we lock threads, damned if we don't.

Why cos you have had enough of it, so all other forum users dont get a say. Dont like the thread dont read it, simply as that really, enough thread locking as it is without scaring the mods even more lol.

Agree Wiggy. Gleeson was only supposed to play for Fax originally as a stop gap until he signed Super League again, but enjoyed his time with Fax so much he wanted to stay. So why in gods name he'd want to sacrifice his happiness to move to Barrow I have no idea!

And I've said this before and I'll say it again. Barrow, as well as Whitehaven and Workington, will find it very difficult to entice decent players up that neck of the woods. It'll mean having to up sticks or driving a 300 mile round journey. And joking apart, would YOU want to live in Barrow? Even the thought makes me feel queezy!

And I suppose Halifax is the most beautiful area in England ??

(I don't live in Barrow by the way)

Iwas really queasy after staying overnight. it was on a par with lovely Workington

You DON'T live in Barra, Gazza???? So are you some kind of Man U band wagon fan who only watches winning teams eh? Hey, come to think of it, I can't remember you at all before this season! So there you have it .... Gazza is a plastic fan!

Like one of their sponsors Plastic Man
