i see in the league weekly you are signing him. Im a rovers fan and im not been funny but are you happy with the signings you have made for next year? in my opinion you seem to have signed alot of championship standard players?

Some wag will be on here in a mo to say we are "...aiming to drag down the standard of Super League...".


Well done to Barrow. Now can we have your number 4 (sorry can't remember his name but has looked pretty useful) and 5 (Nixon...

Good luck for next year and I hope the new Sugar Daddy doesn't loose interest and turns out to have very deep pockets, not short ones.

Cumbria for Super League in 2012 ... it looks like it.

im persuming you mean liam harrison? player for the future if he gets the correct coaching

I don't know why we'd be signing him tbh, we have Kaye as a back up hooker and Gale has played there this season too.

to play him in the second row?

I think he's a decent player tbh. I think he's a better player than Kaye.

Is it me or are we preparing a bid for a Championship francise in 2012?

The squad will be more than able to meet the criteria or is it that Mac has Championship aspirations. The only way we will stay in SL at this rate if other clubs go belly up. Has anybody got any good news?

We need that prop Youngs from Barrow if we're going to take their players!! Seriously, we are still no nearer sorting out our severe lack of go forward for next season!!!

Yes, Chris young - but I think he was trained in Oz, but is a Brit ... so all rather confusing, but has some speed and punch at the line.

Are Quins to be named Barrow Raiders ... get it Raiders!!! Some times I do surprise myself ...

Yes, thats the guy. He looked very good with nixon down the left in the elimination semi final the other Thursday.

Along with the prop - Chris Young.

That thought's occurred to me. As we probably wouldn't stay at the Stoop (how long's our agreement got left?), anyone know if Barnet's still available?

Alas no, both Barnet and Hendon have tried to use Copthall but the locals won't have it. All I could see would be a merger with Skolars and a possible place in the Championship. But if a Sugar Daddy arrives and we have a positive coach and administration the dreams of the early Fulham fans could be yet rekindled. With the roller-coaster ride of the last 30 years anything is possible. With the Standard becoming a freesheet maybe we could use that as a tool.

The standard could sponsor Us.

To say the new signings (or rumoured new signings) are distinctly underwhelming is an understatement. It certainly doesn't do much to lift the gloom from the last two and a half months of the season.

Am I the only one thinking the club officials know something already regarding any of the following: Harlequins RU/2011 SL Licence/the future as QRL/the future of RL in London?

Bloody hell you lot, look a bit closer and you'll see this is a good signing if true. The guy was voted the best player in the championship so he's hardly a poor player, in fact since he's voted the best in championship probably means he's closer to SL standard.

Good backup for Chad Randall, in fact an improvement to last seasons squad if he's a replacement for ben Kaye.

Totally agree with you. Have seen Barrow quite a few times this season and Ellis has impressed me. Probably the best signing we have made so far (if true).

The same could be said of Mick Nanyn's time in the National Leagues

Mick Nanyn hasn't impressed me once in his entire career. He has always been a useless tart. Check back on the boards for my opinions on the signing of Nanyn.

Everyone knows your opinions on Nanyn.

The thing is I predicted it and got shot down at the time. People find it hard to admit that I am right about most things, most of the time.

Stop blowing your own trumpet

At least you don't deny it, Tim

I think it is a good signing! we simply don't have the money for big names, we just don't seem to be able to compete with most of the rest of Super League?

I doubt that highyly. Did you say that the idiot known as BM would try and play him in a new position and then not give him the chance before getting incredibly homesick and want a return home and evidently play where he wants to play....
