Rumour has it that if Kear goes Rooney will be returning.

thats a strange rumour...

strange but true

Can't see Rooney doing a better job than Kear.

in a playing role silly

oh dear me. I've seen Jamie several times this and last year! He's gone. Seriously, he's gone.
He's a distribution agent and nowt else. He's been blown out more times than a wind sock in the championship this year!
He's a ditribution agent but little else nowadays. No pace. No flair. unable to exploit or put someone into a gap. Kicking game still ok but....

nah, Govin @ Leigh, Grimmer at Hunslet, Briggsy in Bradfords 23's, Kainy and even Tiger Handforth are in better nick than Jamie!!

Get excited all you want, but I guarantee that if you do sign him (and Barrow want shut), then there will be a plethora of threads on this board debated how wise a spend his salary is!!

He goes ok in the championship to be fair. Would make a decent halfback pairing with Moore.

I've seen him loads. No he most def isn't!

I watched barrow lose earlier this year on telly, Rooney defense was poor and cost them the game

it would be a bad move to bring him back IMHO

Who would of thought tadulala would come back dont right it off stranger things have happened.

Id take Rooney back, aslong as the original post was true and we get rid of Kear as part of the deal.

lets make a new start with the kids

Kear will be gone come what may

Ok maybe i'm being generous but when you've seen some of the dross we've produced from halfback this year some of Rooneys performances really do seem 'ok!'

Oh Snowie owd cock, you ought to have seen him v us, or even worse v Dews earlier this year! He was absolutely tripe!!
We've played em 3 times and Kainy had him for tea!!!

Poor. Very very poor. I felt for the lad cos he diod give me a deal of enjoyment in his younger days, but he's gone now.
Past it and carrying far far too much baggage!
