dixiedean 837 Report post Posted October 1, 2018 Indeed it is. He seems to move around a lot. Feel having re-signed Lewis Young and a couple of props is more important for Thunder. Although they probably would have liked to keep him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angelic Cynic 926 Report post Posted October 1, 2018 A good signing for Barrow - following on from Jake Spedding. Pleased for Mr Crarey and the Barrow fans. If it is true Thunder attempted to sign Tangata - then they will have more funds to spend - and they are looking in the right direction. 1 Quote No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Anonymouse 868 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Says in the Barrow newspaper he needed to play in the championship again and a higher level of rugby so Barrow was the perfect choice .He was class at town over three seasons and still missed by the supporters .

OriginalMrC 1,061 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Great signing for Barrow and will do well in the championship. Was on big money at Newcastle I believe so will free up some funds for them for more signings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder fan 290 Report post Posted October 4, 2018 lewis young was played out of position so ritson could play at fullback, in my opinion i think the club prefered to keep lewis young and play him in his preferred fullback position next season.

In fact leaving is hometown for the little he was on is a credit to the lad , he went to Thunder for rugby reasons ,the same reason he is going to the Raiders.

I hardly think Thunderfan was being bitter and nor did he say they didn’t want to keep Ritson. Just that their preference was to keep Young and play him in his preferred position. I’m sure they would’ve wanted both 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder fan 290 Report post Posted October 8, 2018 lewis young wanted to play 1 though tee played 1 so lewis was played out of position fact, lewis wanted to play 1 i no that for a fact, not bitter at all, good luck to tee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder fan 290 Report post Posted October 8, 2018 lewis isnt a 6 or centre, though he played there so tee could play at 1, fact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunder fan 290 Report post Posted October 9, 2018 posted my opinion that was all, lewis young was played out of position all season, hes a fullback though so is tee, lewis was played at 6 and centre though he is a fullback and wants to play fullback, next season he will be back playing at fullback, he was linked with moves to super league though we kept him, again good luck to tee, top player.

wonderofwood 398 Report post Posted October 10, 2018 Tee will have as much competition for the fullback roll at barrow as he had at Thunder . When Creswell is fit again . Not sure what’s happening to field house rumour he’s off to Swinton. I’ve a feeling Barrow may use him on the wing especially with Shane Toal out for a good while Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymouse 868 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) where ever the lad is put you have a cracking signing although he is far far better at FB than W and has one of the best try per game ratio's in all 3 leagues from playing there , you seem to have an exciting back line developing with the other 2 lads brought in for centres from Rochdale and the Saints , going to be another tough season for your team but you look to be signing very well .
