Since our promotion to Super League Justin Morgan has had to make a lot of decisions regarding signing of and letting players move on. One could say he has made a very succesfull job generally but if it hadn't have been for quotas etc and other reasons who would you, the fans, have kept if it had been possible and all things equal.

Me personally would have liked to see Mark O'Neil stay another year because his form towards the end of the 07 season was tremendous. Think JM did try to persuade him to stay but he thought the time was right to retire. Saying that we might have missed out on Ben Galaea who i think MO actually reccomended to the club.

Equally i would have kept Luke Dyer who had a tremendous season during our first year in season league.

Ryan Tandy.

Ryan Tandy. I think im right in saying that Andy Ellis was released by Justin to. I know its a bit further back but i still think he had some development in him.

Know what you mean, he is really setting it alight lately, shame we let him go and become a household RL name...............................................















Where

Nah, sorry mate but he was ok at the level we were at and he is ok at Barrow. I will always be grateful to the lads who pulled the shirt on in the past for all they did, but if any of them were good enough we would have been in SL years ago. Since we have been in this flight there have been sparodic posts with mentions of 'if only we had kept' certain players, the likes of Hasty, Whetu, Ellis, Mansson etc. IMO none of those would have done us any good at all at this level.

We move on or die and thank god we have Hudge and Morgan in charge now.

Dwane Barker seems to be going good at the minute!!!

jon wilkin a few years ago..you did us a favour there..

Dwayne Barker is a naughty boy

Ryan Tandy did play at SL level and in my opinion held his own and is one the props we have had who could off load in the tackle. I would have prefered we kept him if we could over David Mills. Always gave 110per cent. and was good coming off the bench.

I'll give you that one, but didn't he leave us rather than we let him go !

Out of contract.

He didnt want to stay though.

I always rated Bauer myself.

Far better player than Goddard IMO (apart for the fact Goddard had better footwork) though he's now at Donny working in the offices as well as playing last I heard.

He didn't have an option, after the last game of the season Tandy, Lovegrove, Dyer, and Tangles were all out together, he said would like to have stayed and said the club would be mad not to keep Rhys, he said all three had alread been told they were off except rhys who was still to meet with the club.
