    Good news for Barrow regarding walker, I'd tip barrow as heavy favourites now unfortunately. Haven only got a fit 18/19 with no sign of any additions unless some business gets done today but even then, not near enough time to prepare for friday

    Or is this just Whitehaven mind games again,  😛

  2. In a way I think you are correct but, a number of Championship coaches have gone down the road of the more mobile forward with mixed success, take a look at the Town site from a couple of years ago and it was clear it didn't work.  The really big forwards do tire quickly but at the same time make a real impact taking 3 or 4 defenders with them, if we had a couple of lads as big and athletic as Joe Bullock then that would be the perfect compromise but remind yourselves of some of the monsters we were up against last season and the damage they did to our defence.

    I think what I'm trying to say is I don't have a clue which is the best option, were we to sign a couple of massive Tongans I wouldn't be disappointed, thank god I'm not the coach.

  3. I think he struggled a little with his fitness level, so hopefully he will be ready to go this coming season.  I'm not convinced he should be our first choice half back but he is a pretty good fill in player, I'm glad he is being rewarded with a contract, and if he wants to prove me wrong and he does become the first choice then I'm even happier.

  4. I know he has been a regular at Craven Park throughout this season, so if his suspension is up then I'd love to see him back in a Barrow shirt, by attending as a fan he is showing us how he feels about us.  Sign him up!

  5. This may be stating the obvious but if there is one thing we have learned this year is we cannot have enough players registered and without the locals, especially the amateurs, things would have been much worth.

    It's sad to see that the majority of players leaving appear to be the local core and unless there is a plan we are not aware of we might find ourselves in the same battle next season, the locals bring in more supporters and were prepared to bust a gut for their home team, something we don't always get from the out of town players.

  6. Just before kick off a bloke told me he was off to Keighley, but as they have just been relegated is that the reason he wants to stay, does anybody know the true story.

    Where has "only 17 fit" come from bud?

    From a very reliable "source".  Until 15mins ago I hoped he was wrong but now it's not important. 

    It looked like Cresta was going to do a Bobby Goulding and pull on the shirt just one more time.

  8. I heard today we are down to only 17 fit players for tomorrow.  It feels awful but Haven have just lost and we all know what that means, I can't believe I wanted a French team to win but I can ask for forgiveness in the morning.

    I just can't see Swinton beating Halifax or Keighley beating London they are down there for a reason. 

    I'd love to agree with your comment but this is the last chance for surviving the drop into League 1, because of that you would expect them to give it everything they have and as we have seen all season the results are pretty unpredictable.

    This weekend is going to be nerve wracking.

  10. I don't think even Wayne Bennett could have done any better this season given the huge number of injuries, we've had 40 players this year with a number of them being from the amateur ranks. 

    Against Swinton they played really well despite the problems and therefore deserved the reception but you cannot keep that up week in and week out. Give Cresta the tools and he can do a good job.
