Who's available that we could go for?

Brook (released by Fax) and Abram (Rochdale) could be good pivot options to partner Hewitt 

[ChampagneCharlieReturns]

Emmerson whittel has moved to Australia to play for rockingham sharks 

[moorside roughyed]

Good luck to him, as he said, at his age and with no ties its too good an opportunity to pass up.

Think that was because of the reduced wages bill though. Plus they want to keep a nucleus of local lads.

If you've signed him as a half back you'll be disappointed, he can't pass and runs the ball in like a forward. He did however play a few games at 13 and looked a much better player, despite his shortcomings he always gave 100% for us particularly defensively where he rarely misses a tackle. Hopefully a change of club does him some good!

More like the guy hasn’t got a creative bone in his entire body. Definitely not the answer at 7 if that’s where you’re struggling. Like other barrow fans have said the guys a much better 13 as he’s an animal in defence

We've got a good 7 already with pace and developing all the time. Maybe he'll be used at loose who knows we shall see

Hope a change of club is just what he needs.. Think he's been signed as a half back but time will tell 

[Raider91]

I only said bar charnock because I knew he was leaving. I think you are getting a half with a point to prove, someone who gives 100% can play more than one position (6, 9 or 13). When we got promoted he made a huge difference people forget this, he had two bad injuries and suspensions. If he comes back fit I hope he goes really well for use.  

[moorside roughyed]

At the end of the day, you don't know how someone will play for you until he/she does. We'll just have to see him perform for ourselves.

I think Charnock will really suit us whether he plays at 6 or at loose. His defence is excellent for a half and if we are realistic we are going to be defending a lot next season. A big body at 6 might be the way to go for us.  

Really happy so far with the squad. I think the key for us will be the props. Last time we went down because Joy and Neal missed the majority of the season and we were relying on young lads like Adebiyi or other dual regs which wasn't enough. Joy will hopefully sign this week but we need 6 props to compete consistently in the Championship.

Centre - Worthington, Leeming, Hutchings

Half back - Hewitt, Charnock

Hutchings is an interesting signing. Really strong ball runner almost in the Ryan Hall mould with left hand carry. Not a speedster but very powerful.  Was very good in the academy origin last year and can play equally well on either wing.
