| 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 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!

You could be on to something there Tony.
I seem to recall 'Plastic Man' being a sponsor of the club. Coincidence?

I live 2.5 miles away in Dalton. I have followed Barrow rugby since I was a wee nipper and regularly invaded the pitch in the good old days for players tie ups. Never got to as many games as I would have liked as I got older (about half the home games a season) but in the last 4 or 5 years I have attended more and more. I have played for Barrow at Academy level for 2 seasons also. Admittedly I followed Wigan for a while and got to most of their home games (not in the glory days I might add) but decided before last season started and all the signings came in, I would spend my money supporting my local team. Turned out to be a great decision. As for only watching winning teams, Wigan won sod all whilst I travelled to watch them and as I said I have been more of a steady(ish) supporter of Barrow for 25 years. I have watched Barrow loose to Chorley, loose by 60 -70 points and I have seen Barrow win a Grand Final. Some would say that isn't glory hunting. Clubs like Barrow & Halifax need to bring back the lost supporters and should welcome them with open arms if we want Super League. How many Bradford & Leeds shirts do you spot locally on the kids and adults ? I would guess plenty.
I have been posting on Rugbyleague.org for ages by the way and have been on here since Jan 2006.

How harsh? When he's being moved around every match, from 6 to 9 to 7 back to 6 then to 9, sometimes in the space of one game, it must be hard to get some form in, then he's getting stick from his own set of fans, as captain!
I still maintain that if he plays at 9, coming off the bench, Penky is our best player and one of the best in our division, he can change games in the blink of an eye. Hopefully the signing of Branighan will mean we will never see Penky at 6 again and see him in his best position of 9.
