First new signing for 2023.

[RLDB]

Ben Evans signed a 2 year deal. Decent solid experienced forward. 

[Ulverstonian]

Any chance of getting Joe Bullock back I wonder. ??? Now that would be a signing !!

Very happy with Ben Evans though 

[pennington]

Good to see early recruitment by Barrow, also in an area we have struggled at times this year. Will be a good signing ! Bullock would be a cracking signing and he still comes down to a few Barrow games, I guess you never know

Carl Forster signed on for another 2 years. Great news. 

[pennington]

Forster is a brilliant player to have on board for next year ! Well done Barrow for keeping him.

[the man]

We now have Tee Ritson, Shane Toal, Luke Cresswell, Dan Toal, Ryan Shaw, Jarrad Stack, Jake Carter, Ben Evans and Carl Forster

[Masters 13]

It would be great to retain the services of Sammut. He's been a stand out player so far this season.

Couldn't agree more. He's been absolutely outstanding and an out and out match winner for us when games have been in the balance. I know historically hes been a bit of a rugby nomad ibut I sincerely hope we can entice him to stay at least another season. In all honesty I hope we can keep pretty much the whole of this team together for next year because what they have achieved so far has  been fantastic  and  with the  possible addition of 3 or 4  quality players I believe we can firmly cement a place in the top 5 or 6 of this league.

[Ulverstonian]

I agree. Sammut has got us over the line in a few tight games this season which might not have gone our way so for him job done, kept us up and more.  Really hope he stays for one more season and helps us build further.

[RLDB]

Josh Wood signed on for another year,  been great so far this season, Barrow look so much better when he’s on the pitch. 

[RSN]

Very promising retaining Wood, he's one of the type of players top end Championship clubs will be sniffing around. 

[pennington]

Another brilliant player to have for next year. Again well done to the board for getting this over the line. 

[mickmike wilson]

Hope we keep on re-signing our top talent & strengthening the areas we can improve on, keep this momentum building & hopefully crowds rising as we become a real top 6 contender

[RLDB]

Sam Brooks signed on for another year, improved over the course of this season, thought his discipline was poor in the first few games but now seems to have cleaned this up. 

[Ulverstonian]

Agree Sam Brookes has improved massively last few weeks and has cut out the penalties he frequently gave away. I was a critic but has won me over.

Squad shaping nicely for next season. Langtree re signing would be massive also if we can. Improved the team since he came back in

I think he tried to be an aggressive enforcer when he first came in hence the constant penalties. 

Last few weeks he seems to have focused on his ball playing skills (which are very good) and fitting into our shape rather than trying to run over the top of opposition. I think Brooks, Gillam, Foz and Antons ball playing skills have played a huge part in our attack this year and probably haven't got enough credit. 

[morty]

Would love to see Anton back next year and bring Alec Susino back as well

Hope not he’s been great but we can play without him. Look at the batley game

Definitely hope he stays. I know we played well at Batley without him but I do think he's brought our half backs on to a much better level with his presence this season.  

[phildog]

So what's the Ritson to Saints about, or have you signed him in order to get a fee? If so; good thinking!
