My apologies for even suggesting Barrow could be at fault for anything. I should have known better.
It appears to me that Barrow have tried to come with a solution to assist an unsettled player. Any club would just like J Carter signing for Whitehaven.
Simple really.

He’s got another year. Barrow got into him, unsettled him then refused to pay as they wanted him for nothing. If he misses out next season then that is entirely Barrows fault. Shame because he is too good to be sitting on his backside. At the same time can’t blame Haven for not wanting to just give him to a rival team.
Can't see Barrow being at fault for unsettling him when his current club couldn't pay him.
I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot and Barrow couldn't pay a players wage and that said player refused to train, Whitehaven would jump at the chance to sign them.

Signed on;
Broadbent, Creswell, Carter, Shaw, S.Toal, Bulman, Costello, Clarke, Johnston, Jackson, Wood, Burke, Silva, Gillam, Greenwood, Stack, Emeslie, D.Toal, Wilkinson.
That leaves us with 19 if as expected Brad Walker and Sam Dowsett sign that's 21. Desperately in need of a 6 not convinced Jackson or Walker are champ level 6s. Also need at least another 2 props (hopefully Tom Walker is one)
Still no news on Sammut's intentions for next season?

If Sammut has gone, who did he sign for?

Wigan are duel-Reg with Wakefield Trinity
We've probably lost the opportunity to go duel reg with Wigan now and it's gone extremely quiet on the singing.
I hope we hear some news on strengthing the squad as this upcoming season willl potentially be tougher than the last with Wakefield and Toulouse being part of it.

Rugby league doesn't need IMG.
The game would be restored if the game removed the Super League name & brand. When the Super league name came about, the game lost its identity and those clubs who were doing well in league 25 years ago prospered and the lower clubs were destined to demise as did the sport.

Dont forget, big Joe started out as a winger
Fair one but Joe was later dedicated to playing in the forwards.
I see Featherstone have released 17 players from their squad. Wouldn't mind seeing Dane Chisholm, Elijah Taylor and Tyla Hepi in a blue and white V shirt.

When you read the press release it says he’s second row / centre who can also cover wing. At 6’5” and a big lad I'd say he’ll be playing 2nd row more than the backs.
Very diverse, especially being a forward to playing in the backs and as a winger?

Now what happens after the gradings?

Without trying to sound controversial, a lot of Championship clubs have or are recruiting seasoned SL players. We look to be only recruiting a majority local players who just managed to avoid relegation at the end of the season.
With Toulouse and now Wakefield being in the championship, I hope we as a club look further afield to strengthen the squad.

Good luck London and commiserations Toulouse.
Barrow fan.

Gutted for them and I hope they rebuild and bounce back.
However, they gave us a bit of a tanking at their's at the end of the season and I wonder if they have any available players now off contract that might be worth pursuing?

I see Tom Wilkinson has signed a professional deal, well deserved.
Hopefully get Dan Toal back in the ranks and up to fitness as they play a similar game.

It would be great to recruit some of the local forwards in the likes of Brad Singleton and Greg Richards. Both would look good starting in Barrow shirts.

Has Sammut comfirmed who he's playing for next season?
I'm half hoping he stays with us for another.
I'd rather he plays for us than against us.

After this weekend results I hate Championship rugby league .....
We had a dreadful result against already relegated Newcastle and I hoped Whitehaven would have done us a favour against Swinton.
Again we roll on to next weekend where as a Barrow Raider fan, the stress continues!!!

SATURDAY 16th SEPTEMBER
Newcastle Thunder v Barrow Raiders
Toulouse Olympique v Featherstone RoversSUNDAY 17th SEPTEMBER
Keighley Cougars v Halifax Panthers
London Broncos v Bradford Bulls
Swinton Lions v Whitehaven
Widnes Vikings v Sheffield Eagles -
Harvey Makin would be an ideal replacement for him.

I can only imagine this game is going to be close with both teams playing for Championship survival.
That said I think Ryan Shaw's kicking will decide the game.

Tough games to predict this weekend but......
SATURDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER
Newcastle Thunder v Toulouse Olympique ComfortablySUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER
Bradford Bulls v Featherstone Will edge it but I think it'll be close
Keighley Cougars v Barrow Raiders Although depleted side, Barrow to come out victors
Sheffield Eagles v London Broncos London finding form at the moment
Whitehaven v Halifax Panthers Halifax too strong against Haven
Widnes Vikings v Batley Bulldogs tough one but Widnes to edge it
York Knights v Swinton Lions York to edge it.-

I'd throw the cheque book over to get Tom Wilkinson's signature.
He's been astute in all of his performances this year.
A real workmanship in attack and defence.

24 Squad
in Barrow Raiders

I thought I heard a while back that Barrow was hoping and expecting to go duel reg with Wigan but Wakefield have since got that deal.
With any luck and the best possible dual reg prospect would be to go with Leigh Leopards who don't have an academy side. They have spent heavily on one team and their fringe players would be good at championship level.
