I think it is quite obvious he doesn’t want to play for them.
Welcome addition to our pack again

Swinton have announced they are going dual reg with St Helens.
I hope Tee Ritson doesn't come back to haunt us !!!!
I reckon Brett Carter and Shane Toal would sort him out

Season Ticket Holders Meeting Wednesday 13th December 7pm in the MKM Marquee
There will be a season ticket holders meeting with the primary purpose to vote on the proposal of a new director, Jayne Stewart, to represent the season ticket holders following the request for applications last month.
All season ticket holders from the 2023 and 2024 seasons are entitled to attend and vote on a straight yes/no majority decision.
There will also be a club update from the club chairman, Steve Neale, and team update from the head coach, Paul Crarey. Questions are then welcome from the floor.
It will be nice to have a new board member to represent the ST holders,good luck Jayne Stewart.

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.
I think you missed the part of late payment/s on Havens part which is what may have triggered Barrow interest in the first place?
Barrow making an illegal approach is debatable,I reckon Jake Carter may have had an inkling about signing for Haven when Barrow released him?
Barrow do not believe in keeping unhappy players or players who have an opportunity elsewhere,credit to them for that.

I wonder how much of this fixture nonsense is a knock-on effect of having to accommodate teams being unable to play on certain days?
There's an awful lot of overlap between the football/RU seasons and our "summer" game, particularly in Spring. I'm thinking of the likes of Halifax/Toulouse/York/Doncaster who might not have first dibs at "their" home grounds on certain weekends in February/March/April - everyone else gets buggered about as a result.
Yeah I would say that deffo has an affect on things unfortunately.

Ridiculous to think the RFL plan these fixtures. Do they do it with their eyes shut? No other business would be expected to run without revenue. Absolute numpties. (trying to be polite)
I agree,I think Haven start their League campaign with 4 home fixtures,Swinton start with 3 away,how can that be right?
They need to think about clubs cash flow surely?

You've verbally agreed terms with Walker but still on-going legal battle getting his release I've heard
Dunno what has gone on but Barrow released Carter who was under contract and who went to sign for Haven,they also loaned Saunders when they were struggling for a hooker last season.
There may be more to it but why keep a player who obviously doesn’t want to play for the club,I don’t see the reason into a legal battle where nobody wins but legal people?

Don’t quote me but I think these games will be split gate so just need to get as many as possible there to put valuable coin into coffers.
I’m not convinced that the gates are split ,due to the fact home advantage has been given to all League One clubs to help them out,but I could be wrong.
If it comes down to League positions from last season,I guess Barrow will travel to Haven.
If that is the case we need to pray for a home tie in the Challenge cup!

A group of the three Cumbrian teams,Barrow,Town and Haven.
As agreed with the RFL Town will have two home games.

I heard that he wasn’t very well liked in the dressing room at Barrow,might be true might not be.
I have absolutely nothing to back that statement up

Sounds like Haven are spending a fair bit on their playing roster,maybe they should be thinking of investing into other things to get an improved IMG Rating.
Just a thought

I quite liked the look of Kian McPherson when he played for Millom,he has signed for Town this season.
Definitely one to keep an eye on in my opinion.

It’s nothing new that local amateurs have attended pre season training at the Raiders,in fact Cresta encourages it.
Best of luck to the lads trying to better themselves

Totally get RL is a tough sport and you are bound to pick up injuries, it just seems we are always absolutely ravaged with them from July onwards so the decision to go with the smallest squad for a good few years doesn’t make sense to me.
Maybe they are holding some of the playing budget back to reinforce the team later in the season?
All we can do is trust the people in charge to make the correct decisions and keep supporting the club in any way you can in my opinion.

Ridiculous decision IMO. Every year we seem to suffer with a severely depleted squad towards the end. Going with less players is suicidal. Must be a cost cutting exercise.
It’s well known the playing budget has been cut and they struggled to keep players happy last season with a bigger squad.
Maybe the decision has been taken out of their hands or they are looking at it a different way.
RL is tough on the body,I imagine most teams pick up injuries towards the end of seasons.
