Dawesy has signed back on, will get a lot more starts this year with gus retiring.

we really need to step our game up in the recruiting department,and very quickly. we have a hand full of lads signed on with 1 new face amongst them. last season i would of said armi,holt,stack and pedley were head shoulders above the rest of the team in terms of match winning performances. we already know armi is going home,holt is coach of barrow and theres a chance pedley is off to oz. so why havent we pulled out all the stops and got stack signed up and start to mould a team around him. we are desperate for match winners,as a team of solid performers just isnt going to work in a league that we HAVE to get promotion out of this year. we have no hooker signed on and only one half back, so these positions need to be addressed urgently. in todays paper it again outlines peter luptons desire to play for one of the cumbrian teams, i cant see how barrow could possibly afford him and if haven are planning on getting purdham i cant see them wanting another big earner on there books, so surely that leaves us with the best opportunity for him, and one if we can pull off will attract better players and show us the intent of the board in getting promotion this year. i know its early days and we shouldnt panic too much, but by this time last year we had recruited matty and jacko which just gave us fans a bit of belief, i dont think we have had that signing yet, but the anouncement of stack or lupton, or idealy both would set us off on the right track.

Elliott Miller's name needs adding to the list in the first post.

One name we won't be adding is Chris Clough - he's signed again for Keighley Cougars.

I don't think clough will be a miss, gave away far too many penalties and wasnt a line breaker. I think to be pushing for honours we would gave to be looking out for better players.

Agree but where???

I'm not sure Keith, and the most worrying thing is I'm not sure if anybody does, as our signings(especially new players) seem to have dried up.

Heard from a reliable source that Jason Mossop signed a two year deal last year therfore meaning he is still signed on for this upcoming season.

Your right kieran ive checked with my sources and Jason is halfway through a two year deal so will be back next year

[town88]

Your sources are wrong because he signed a new contract at the same time as coward shackley and bamber straight from the horses mouth

As long as he's a town player, that's all that matters.

Kaighan, Pedley McGoff & Low back to Barrow

Kaighan, Pedley McGoff & Low back to Barrow

How do you come to that conclusion? Pedley is on his hols and mcgoff is in Canada playing for the national team, so I'm pretty sure neither will have sorted there futures out yet.

Town 88 - Infact your sources are wrong because he signed a 2 year deal at the start of last season and therfore continuing this year.

[town88]

My source was Jason Mossop so if he doesn't know wat sort of deal he has signed then what sort of teacher is he?

Good luck to ruari, a player who dosent really stand out in a game, but you notice when he isn't on the pitch with his solid work rate and really good defence.
