Ellis Gillam has left the building 

Where's he gone to? Hope it's a SL opportunity not some big spending rival Championship club.

If this doesn’t prove pay locals what they deserve instead of some of the garbage we’ve brought down the M6 in the past 5 yrs then I don’t know what to say. Let one of the best local forwards I’ve seen a Barrow shirt go since Brett McDermott. Best of luck Ellis barrows loss and another teams gain

..quoi...Toulouse ou Perpignan...peut etre Carcassonne,Albi,Lezignan...??

An opportunity to play in the South of France? You can't blame him: I can think of worse places, many of them in SL. 

Good luck to him. Massive boots to fill.

Going off the statement he wants to go and try it in a full time environment, nothing to do with what he’s being paid at Barrow. Good luck to him, always given 100%, can’t ask for more than that.

Do you know what they’re being paid?

I know that travelling lads get paid the big money compared to local lads been like this for years it’s common sense ask around the town

They wouldn’t sign if they weren’t being paid a bit more 

One of the cons of our location 

Ellis leaving for full time rugby suggests it isn’t money motivated

I'm glad this is anon ,as I'd point out what Brett McDermott commented on the clubs post ,Brett's a legend and Jesus I'd never diss the man as I value my life  ,but sometimes it's more than pay him what he's worth ,it's a full time opportunity that unfortunately the club can't match, particularly opportunity wise and financially wise ,as of now nobody knows if Toulouse beat Wakefield,nor do they know if Toulouse get up via a better IMG score than cas ,sometimes like tee ritson an opportunity arrises that the powers that be do the right thing by the player and stand aside ,it's also a lifestyle thing for Ellis ..there's an old saying in sport and life ,it's not who leaves ,its all about who replaces them ,let's sit back and wait ✌️

Whos the other rumoured player ?

Ellis Robson. He was our captain this season, scored 17 tries in 20 league appearances. Back Rower that occasionally filled in at centre, but back row is his position. Good player and signing if you get him.

Would love to get Joe Bullock back. Think he remains close to the Raiders. Appears Warrington loaned him to Widnes, Hull and Salford, but he's hardly played. UPDATE: He signed a new 2 year deal with the Wolves...

Tee Ritson just didn't make the grade in SL at Saints. He hardly got a pass on the wing and was resigned to bringing the ball out against the opponents forwards and got hurt quite a bit. He can't have been a happy camper at St Helens. Wellens didn't rate him and he wasn't even selected in Swinton 17 via Hunslet last week, who will now play in League 1. Tee's a good championship winger and was great with Barrow due to Miloudi feeding him. He's on a 2 year deal with Saints but they've just signed 2 new wingers, Aussie Kyle Feldt and Lewis Murphy to replace Tommy Makinson and he won't be selected over Bennison, so doubt he'll see any 1st team games. I'd be interested to learn what his plans are?

Great player happily take him slot in the back row well

Shane Toal signed for 2 more years. I for one am pleased he has signed again. Gives his all every time and does have an eye for a break. Dodgy defence at times but hey. A great local who will play wherever asked.

The RFL have also granted him a testimonial.
