First new signing for 2023.

[Wandering pete]

..interesting that Saints have reportedly had an interest in winger Denny Solomona who is currently with Kick n Clap outfit North Harbour in NZ.Their approach wasn't successful..if they've signed T would they be after another winger..?

Can you back up that Tee is leaving or has already left?

Defo leaving. To be announced in the next 2 weeks.

Funny, Tee was doing community work today so he cant have left and as Saints will be back in training very soon he would be there by now getting ready

[Dave W]

It was "defo" going to be announced the weekend before last wasn't it?

Tee is gonna be a massive loss, that's 30+ tries a season gone. Gonna have to try n get someone in to replace him

[morty]

We did really well at the end of last season for the last half dozen games or so without Fozzie so even tho hes a massive loss we will do ok with Burke and Wells coming in ... another experienced prop would be great tho and im sure Cresta and the board are on it

Deal signed today at 12 . 

Announced at 5pm . 

Starts pr season in morning.

[Jarc]

Now announced. On loan then option to buy. I get that if it doesn’t work out he will come back here. But how does the loan benefit us this season?

[Bearman]

Gone on season long loan. What do the Raiders get out of it?

You're right (finally). Up on the Raiders website now.

It's a crafty deal that's been struck: Going there on a 12 moth loan with a buyout clause on his 3rd year and recall options for us if he doesn't make their squad.

Ahhh your back!!

[Bearman]

So I suppose as Tee was full time if they loan him back if not needed, that pays his wages AND free up some money for another marquee signing?

[Bearman]

Let's hope if we do get another Marquee signing  it doesn't get blown down again!

Sad to see tee go but good on him and I hope he does well ! For Barrow we have now lost 3 of our top players from last season in Forster, Tee and Miloudi, how we will be without them we will have to see 

[RLDB]

Can see him playing a few games for Barrow next year as I don’t think he’ll get picked ahead of Makinson or Bennison.

Deal done weeks ago . 

Just needed Steve Neal to be back off holiday to get it over line .

How? You can’t loan a player out that’s on loan in the first place

[Plan of Attack]

Open question to Steve Neale in 2 parts. 1) what exactly did Barrow get from this deal or were we just "mugged"? and 2) Is there a clause in this "loan" deal preventing Saints lending him to another Championship club on dual registration?

[pennington]

Also that means Barrow now have 2 spare places on the community team. So still room for 2 incomings?

Quote from official press release. 
 

The deal gives a safety net for Tee in that if he doesn’t make the Saints squad then Barrow have the option of recalling him to play for the Raiders. 

Sounds like Barrow have first choice if not in Saints squads. 

[Ulverstonian]

I hope Mr Chairman comes and explains this one please. Alot of questions for us fans need answering to stop any guess work, please.

Thanks. Not sure I understand that then, makes no sense how a player can be loaned out by a team that down own him.
