24 Squad

[Haven 123]

Barrow have been shafted by saints they told them they would pay 3x what they got. Tom Walker is seen as one of the best props in Championship so 15k to 20k is more than a competitive price. Haven have been shafted in past in same scenarios so either Tom comes back and plays or someone stumps up cash.

Is that true? Surely there is some sort of written agreement that Barrow would receive X amount if the move was to be made permanent?

They can’t just say “we’ll have him but we’re only giving you 30% of what we agreed”

He’s got another year. Barrow got into him, unsettled him then refused to pay as they wanted him for nothing. If he misses out next season then that is entirely Barrows fault. Shame because he is too good to be sitting on his backside. At the same time can’t blame Haven for not wanting to just give him to a rival team.

Can't see Barrow being at fault for unsettling him when his current club couldn't pay him.

I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot and Barrow couldn't pay a players wage and that said player refused to train, Whitehaven would jump at the chance to sign them.

My apologies for even suggesting Barrow could be at fault for anything. I should have known better.

It appears to me that Barrow have tried to come with a solution to assist an unsettled player. Any club would just like J Carter signing for Whitehaven.

Simple really.

And that's fine, but the point where the problem arises is that barrow never went through the correct channels. They should of contacted the club directly rather than the coach ringing the player and doing it that way

Rs Ramon Silva 

That'd be my guess 

3 out of 4 are correct. No word on Sam Dowsett? He was in the training squad. Are we now done with the 2 remaining signings? (Plus Tom Walker). Does this mean Cresswell will be Wood's interchange? Can't Wood play 80 mins like the backs do? So many questions, so few answers. Sigh....

Barrow seem to let unsettled players leave without any arguments I was suprised Carter left mid season to a relegation rival. Cant blame Haven for holding out for some cash especially after last seasons financial woes.

Guessing dowsett alongside likes of max Moore are trialling to prove their worth ,as was described regarding Dan toal, assuming he does he'd most likely be back up to wood ,also the Jacques O'Neill conundrum/rumour ,another hooker that's unattached but may cost a few quid ,still expecting their to be a favourable resolution to tom walker,still plenty of time , sometimes people panic without realising deals have been done just like Brad walker ,was in the dunes pics,also seen with squad in gym ,but was a while before was announced

Awful lot of Haven fans seem a tad bitter these days.

[gilbert08]

Anyone heard anything at all on the signings front? 
 

I have half a feeling we will use the pre season games to run the rule over several trial players who look to earn contracts rather than sign anymore.

 

also do think we will look to use the duel reg system this coming season.

I thought I heard a while back that Barrow was hoping and expecting to go duel reg with Wigan but Wakefield have since got that deal. 

With any luck and the best possible dual reg prospect would be to go with Leigh Leopards who don't have an academy side.  They have spent heavily on one team and their fringe players would be good at championship level.

[Bring back GB]

Swinton have announced they are going dual reg with St Helens.

I hope Tee Ritson doesn't come back to haunt us !!!!

I reckon Brett Carter and Shane Toal would sort him out

Aarons smith, struggled with form and injuries since leaving saints, was at Rochdale last year on loan I believe. That being said believe he would be a very good signing

From what Cresta said at the season ticket holders meeting I don't think it's this guy we're trying to sign.

Who want's another gift  

[ghost of uncle fester]

Back up hooker imminent ,that is all ,and will lay my hat that tom walker is a barrow player come season start 

[HP Beans]

Tom Walker announced,2 year deal.

 

[Raider91]

Welcome back Tom Walker. Great player just what we need! 

[Ulverstonian]

Fabulous signing

[Jarc]

Raiders say transfer fee paid, Haven say he’s gone by mutual consent…

[HP Beans]

Thanks to the Blue and White knights,sounds like we paid a fee.

Great to have brilliant sponsors
