| Quote SRC="SRC"Everyone seems tobe puzzled as to why the coach stepped down and why we have signed 5 players before transfer deadline.
The only people not at all surprised are the Barrow fans who have watched the squad dwindle down to a bare 17/18 and seen performances gradually decline for the last 2 months.
We watch Barrow week after week and what happened in the last week is EXACTLY what was required to maintain our challenge toward the top of the league.
The 5 players signed today gives us real quality strength in depth for the first team in many weeks.
There's no way the club will EVER go to the wall. We have a good fan base, very little debt and we own a stadium and land worth approx £5M.
I just think it's a shame that some people on this forum are wishing we go bust. I thought RL fans were better than that.'" I for one do not want you to go bust and only wish you well and i think most Leigh fans will think the same or i hope they do, good luck for the rest of the season apart from saturday  |

End of the day you can only put 13 on the pitch and have 4 subs so you can sign as many guys as you like. Keeping them all happy and the salary cap under control is the problem.
Millward will get the best out of what is left after the fall out at the end of the season and will have his own shopping list. Players will want to come and play for Millward which is something we've not had for quite a while in a coach.

Personally I would say Dave Allen and 2 Bobs are good signings , as I thought the Barrow bench was substancially weaker than ours in the NRC final, so will be added strength for you .
I just dont think that Coyle is better than Finch or Holt ,so cant see how he will be paired with Rooney.

Personally i don't care if Barrow go bust they will only be suffering the same as many who have gone before them by overspending on players. No one ever showed us any sympathy.

Finch and Holt are injured. Both maybe for the season. We've also lost out first choice scrum half Liam Campbell for the season.
Ballard comes VERY highly rated by all accounts although I have to admit that I don't know too much about him. I think we've signed him on a longer term deal and the rest for the remainder of the season. |

Rob Roberts is an excellent player but his off the field antics have been his downfall in the past.
If controlled he is a potential match winner for any team. I personally could never fault his commitment to the cause while he was on the pitch at Leigh.

Whether they go bust and whether they're under the cap are two very different things.
If they are breaking the cap and get to the GF, surely the RFL won't accept that as 'box ticked' for the next round of franchises?
If anything the financial mismanagement would actually count against them??

Shouldn't you be in bed ? Oh sorry I forgot it was the school holidays 
It amazes me how many supporters of other clubs know Barrow RLFC's finances and the wages our players are on. |

I always liked Andy Ballard - good pace, decent brain, sound in defence and excellent goal kicker.
However he wasn't up to the required standard for SL and probably looked better in a dominent Salford side.
Will be interesting to see how he goes for you lot - hope he impresses. |

Thats a pity ,especially Finch . Didnt know they were injured , but as I said both Allen and Roberts will boost your side /bench.
