Totally agree Peter with what you say, Jenkinson has no interest in sport in this area or the original stadium plans would have been delivered on time and we would have had the opportunity to see World Cup RL played on our doorstep, instead if we are lucky,the Reds get a new stand and Town have to play on a postage stamp sized pitch, totally unacceptable in my opinion, the man has a lot to answer for and personally I wouldn’t vote for him if I had a hundred votes
Totally agree with u both all he ever does is feather his own cap as they say. It's all about him and what allegedly he's done for of the people in West Cumbria. It's a joke .

From what I have read and learned about west Cumbria and the Stadium situation, it is the Workington MP who is entirely to blame for the cancelling of the original one and dragging his feet over a replacement. He is a poor excuse of a MP, like the one in Barrow and from what I gather, Copeland too.
He certainly did cancel the new stadium probably cost west Cumbria a Super league team he's one large idiot.

Seems no one in Workington voted for him by the look of this, yet he won by a landslide from memory or are some people telling porkies on here??
Why do we have to keep mentioning the baboon he didn't win by a landslide his area covers Keswick for which got him through. Why should anyone praise somebody who years ago was dead against the idea of a new Stadium for the area. And wow now he's on the bandwagon saying it's his idea and he's pushing it through the Guy is a joke. Let's talk rugby and not politics.

Those celebrating his departure will be the first to lament the subsequently declining standards and will also be the last to read the rule book and get a whistle in their mouths. It’s been like that for years.
Well said them who call and lambasts referees haven't got the b...s to have a go themselves. James Child on and off the field was a credit to the sport good luck to him.

This about them being owed a load of money from last season?
Is this not the case why some good players went due to money owed issues and some refused to play.??

I have a feeling that Buffer will be announced as last signing modelling the new home kit.
Maybe wishful thinking. Who will be the new main club sponsor after zombies?
I've no doubt that Buffet is gonna resign for Town he's been a great servant to the club. Maybe if the club have got a commercial person???? he might get a big name. There's plenty of big named businesses close by.

has to be those two playing in the halfs, unless the BOD have a number 6 lined up. End of the day this is the bottom end of the professional game, so its sink or swim for the pair of them. Absolutely no point signing these lads for specific positions if they aren't going to get any game time
Well said it's got to be walker and marwood 100 % .

Sorry, i was talking about the West Cumbria youth league AGM last night at Lowca, it was when all the local clubs register the different teams and age groups for the 2023 season, i thought the representatives of the proposed DPR would have been attending, even though the open day is not until the 12th.
U can't attend a AGM if your not a affiliated club in the league set up they have to be invited to attend a normal meeting.

Last night's meeting was for the Women's team , the DPR open day is on the 12th marra.
Is this Derwent park Rangers youth meeting on the same day as Towns first training session and to meet new club signings. I haven't seen anything advertised.

If he had a super league release clause then surely thats if a SL team signs them, not loans him.
Nothing to stop all championship players putting a SL release clause in their contract and then a SL team just loans them when they want.
Feel Barrow have been shafted here. His contract runs down by 12 months making him available to saints for less than he is now with 24 months remaining.
And if he doesnt make the grade, they send him back and it doesnt cost them anything. But we are at a loss losing our top try scorer.
Feels very strange, I just hope some clever deal has been struck thats not yet been disclosed.
It's a bad bit of business done by the club it's very strange sending a player on loan he's rather good enough or not. Simple..

It seems that it is a totally seperate club playing out of our ground but is that not what furness raiders are to barrow and they seem to be very closely linked with benefits for both sides?
Furness raiders are affiliated to Barrow through the college they aim at the older generation to play the game. Its more like a academy team than a un attached amateur team that runs from the club.

Tbh i cant thou this was a idea that went back when i was involved in coaching youth teams , with a ex seaton player say 15 yrs ago and it didnt go down well with some local ameteur clubs back then , so the idea wasnt pursued , thou i am not involved in the game now and what i do know encouraging new young players to the game has to be a winner all day long for me , and if the new club sells it to a wider area say outside seaton and Distington and more Workington based say like Moorclose , salterbeck , westfield and Northside and the numbers are heathy what is the concern.
I think Town would have been better setting up a Scholarship Team it costs lots of money to set up all these ages groups that's been discussed. Every single player from each age group have to pay into a central RfL fund. Were do we get coaches from extra referees from all the helpers from. I know first hand having all these teams doesn't necessarily bring more cash into clubs. Finally will the field stand up to all those teams to play on including ladies rugby and football I don't think so.

There will always be for and against , but this is a excellent idea for a pathway for players to be homegrown and in time the club can rely on local players instead of going into Lancashire or Yorkshire.
First hurdle to pass is to get into the West Cumbria youth leagues.

Interesting signing of Connor Fitzsimmons age 24 and Bradford Bulls sign Bodene Thompson age 34 on the same day, I wonder who will be the best buy.
Connor Fitzsimmons marra great work rate very fit and a useful ball handler.

Just looking on the website, all the new signings have their names and photos on the squad page apart from Ciaran Walker, has he changed his mind or is it just an oversight.
Oversight he's definitely signed
