Why has there been no announcement of a full time contract for next season for him like the rest of the squad? His two year deal with us is part time. Can't see him being the only member of the squad on a part time deal.

The number of tries he's created in recent weeks is absolutely unreal. And as for him being a "tool", he was taking head shots and verbals all over the shop last night and as far as I can tell didn't react once, despite Fev's best attempts. Says it all when Hardman went running to the referee complaining about what was clearly a non incident considering it was he and not Barlow who headed off to the sin bin.

If Leeds come in for him as rumoured then I certainly wouldn't begrudge him a chance at the big time, but if he builds on this season and stays with us then that'd be an incredible boost for next year.

I agree Both Sam s need to stay
We don't want to lose any of the team
Even if some have already signed elsewhere for next season they've given there all for us anyway and like Sam they usually come back , Hilly being the only one that probably won't .

I think Sam Barlow has been outstanding for us this season as have many others.

I see on the thread about who has signed up for next season Nostradamus's lad posted on June 19 that Sam Barlow has signed.

Agree with Lynda too that it would be great to have Sam Hopkins back next season as our player again.

Don't know, maybe together, Sam, Rowley and Beaumont have decided to focus on finishing the season 1st, maybe they wanted to take a break and focus on winning the league before getting back to signings (like we did just before the Challenge Cup game). Could be hundreds of reasons, don't think we should just jump to the conclusion that he's going.

First of all Sam Barlow has been a revelation at Leigh and credit must also go to young Rowley for getting the very best out of him. Easily the new signing of the season, despite Liam Kays superb performances.

When you look at the Leeds side you can see why Leeds would be interested in Sam. Rob Burrows would relish zipping through off one of his off loads.

As for the Leeds rumours young Rowley alluded to an alledged meeting between Leeds officials and one of our players in response to Brian MCDermotts criticism of our tactics.

I also agree with Charlie regarding Tom Armstrong. What a class act this young man is becoming. He really is developing in to a top top centre in the game. He can go far.

And finally with Steve mentioning the amount of money he has put in, when I add up how much money I have spent on this club since going off to work at the age of 15 right upto the match last night I bet I am not to far behind him.. He will be surprised. A frightening amount over many many years.

I would spend it all again tommorrow. I love the club. It has been there with me every step of my life. I talk about it everyday to everyone. I must bore a lot of people half to death he he.

Quote joanne callotte="joanne callotte"Agree 100%, think last night he had a few too many of these!!! beerme.com/graphics/brewery/2/2021/3226.gif'" Oh look everybody, I can post a link to a picture And Jimmy 85 , this clown compared me to Shandy Bass and called me a bandwagoner, so no apology to shutting him up, ok sunshine

Thought last night Barlow had an excellent game. Have made some remarks about him historically regarding his antics, but purely based on his rugby would love him to stay, based on his other side I wouldn't. As for Tom Armstrong he would be the first player I would drop. Couldn't believe my eyes last night when he actually passed the ball!! He does some very good things, but is a very greedy and selfish player.

Any how Steve that n0b as you call him will still be a Leigh player next year, maybe you can pass on your thoughts personally to Sam at the Workington game?

I really don't know where you watching the game from , Tom Armstrong for me has had a brilliant season , taken a lot of stick from very physical tackles , but has bounced back most games , he was immense against Leeds ,and has Tormented every side we have played this season .He has filled out his body frame very well ,makes the yards ,and to describe him as selfish and greedy , I don't agree , obviously you are entitled to your opinions and I respect your views , but don't agree .We have had some BIG successes this season on the playing front , Tom is one of them .

I think few will give negative criticism about Sam Barlow , I know I wont , there was a point last night when Sam stopped and appeared to be checking his Jaw after a high tackle , I commented he was probably counting his teeth

.

Hear hear!

Tom Armstrong gready? How is this possible when our 2nd top try scorer is Liam Kay who plays outside Tom? Tom has been outstanding this year hence why he is in the kingstone press team of the week most weeks! I must watch a different game to these people.

Sam Barlow has also been outstanding
