Its the circumstances surrounding this that I would not want him at my club, not a reflection on his ability.

Snap!

Exactly, we all know that, but, supporters of other teams would rather come on here and sneer at the signings. Ho hum.

Taking on players who 'have had' discipline issues does not bother me one bit,
JK has proved time after time that he can sort troubled players out and get the best out of them plus more


We got rid of Brough frist time around due to discipline issues and very few fans wanted him back after his stint with hull and cas (I thought his signing insane at the time), he's now the best british scrum half in the game, he is one of numerous players that JK has sorted out
Todd Carney was sacked for a breech of discipline, one year later he is stand off and player of the year

We will start our season with a team of unknows, kids and has beings not for the first time and I am sure we will compete and finish higher than any one will give us credit for as ususal

The exception being you have to be a good player in the first place?

Well Paul Cullen certainly got the best out of his players when he was at Warrington.

What's that got to do with the price of fish?

Well Barlow was under McCormack at Widnes if that's what your trying to get at? Never done anything special anywhere and at his age to be onto his fourth club already? Just a cheap shot merchant who doesn't like it when gets it back, can do it more in Championship but in SL you need to be more than that. Gives 100% (when he's happy) but not in best back rowers in championship even.

If this is the Sam Barlow who managed to antagonise Mark Aston recently and given his ( Astons) association with JK and Beans, it does seem a strange decision to sign him, particularly as Halifax later apologised.The miming of tearing up a contract was in appaling taste and demonstrated a total lack of respect.

Wakey cannot afford to buy well established expensive players, we get players other clubs deem past it or are trouble causers or not good enough, for the last four and a bit years since John Kear came in the main this is all we have done. I am not going to bother naming them as the fans on here know who they are, my point regarding Cullen is that at Wire he virtually had the pick of the players he wanted and in the meantime they built up the reputation of being SL best under achievers, it's noticable that since he has gone to your club you seem to be going backwards, what I find amusing is that there is some idle rumours on an a rl fans forum that he is coming to Wakey and here you are slating him off, if he ever does come to the club I would imagine its because the coach thinks he can do something with him despite your lack of faith in him, but I can see how you would not want him at Widnes under Cullen though

I for one am fed up with bitter twisted Featherstone fans who for some reason would love nothing better than to see both Wakefield and Castleford fall flat on their faces

Tell me how many tries did Kevin Penny score at SL level

Tell us all who is a better centre at Featherstone Steve Quinn John Gilbert maybe I know one thing he did not play for you in the last 5 seasons

Oh no we havent! rlhttps://halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article.php?id

i knew we hadnt signed him , not once did i see him driving out of superbowl car park
