Im afraid you have a complete idiot in your ranks posting on the Barrow forum. The league will be a different story. You were the better team yesterday and completed your sets far better than us. I don't want to harp on and sound bitter because I am not BUT the idiot who posted this drivel should realise that WITHOUT your SUPER LEAGUE LOANS you would still all be on here posting about how poor your team are. Please remember that Barrow had 4 or 5 players carrying injuries ( Ned Catic off the field - entirely his fault by the way) & Jamie Rooney missing. They would have made a massive difference to our go forward.

Im under no dissolutions about Yesterdays game - Widnes were the better side and played very well. Once Barrow have all players available then we will be an entirely different animal.

Once again Congratulations on your win and Im sure you enjoyed your day

Sorry I got incredibly bored after reading the drivel in bold

and if you don't like what our numpty minority are writing, don't rise to it. Every club has them.

Who should we sign then? teams loan and sign players, its what you have to do to progress as a club. If you hadn't have signed the players that you have, you wouldn't have got to the final. How about sending Jamie Rooney back to superleague.

but thats different though isnt it?

4 loan players don't make a side. Those 4 loan players complemented a side that's been improving week on week. 1-17 earned that win today and coach Cullen's new regime has also made a massive difference. We've always had the players, now we've got the coach who can bring out the best in them. That was proven yesterday.

Im not saying or knocking anything your club has done mate. Im knocking the "Matt Calland" type post from one of your supporters. You are entirely correct that you can and should be signing (or loaning) decent players.

Like I said you were the best team yesterday and fully deserved your win.

Rooney's only played one game for you!

I disagree about the loan players, Cullen has changed how was play and our main pivot players are Thackeray, Webster, Smith and then Duffy when he comes on, all our own players.

Barrow competed yesterday but never looked like they were going to win, having watched the game back I actually think we played alot better up at Fax for the semi final. Well done to Barrow in getting there, it was a great achievement having played NL2 rugby last year. I was disappointed for your players that your fans didn't stay behind the goal to clap them off, they definitely deserved it.

I would like to echo this, brilliant achievement for Barrow. To reach the NRC final sitting second in the league having played NL2 last year is excellent. Was also a great following from your fans, loud and proud. Had some good banter with the raiders fans before the match!

Good luck to Barrow for the rest of the season.

Just ignore him, simple enough.


TBH Catic is a penalty machine and a little birdie tells me your also after Rob Roberts, get used to getting penalised.

that post at the top that someone quoted was awsome first off i hope he was talking about winning the play offs cause you aint got a cat in hells chance of winning the league out right.

i was getting drawn in but going to back off.

Loan signings can be a gamble.... credit should be given to Cullen for doing so.

Pickersgill wasnt getting any game time at Wire and Penny was quite clearly having his confidence battered by a moronic Jimmy lowes and even thicker fans.....

fortunatley both have done well by the sounds of things and I'm sure Cullen will be pestering the widnes owner to buy them outright. then what would be your excuse then....

One or two posters do not speak for us all.

If you don't like loan players, then I suppose you'll be screaming down the phone to your club and sending them e-mails demanding that they release Jamie Rooney, will you?

Gary high is a toilet, he comes on the fax board bragging constantly and says stuff on out board contradicting what he says on the Barrow board just to stir

That's a shame as the Barrow fans, in general, were brilliant yesterday. They supported their team well and were very gracious in defeat. The Widnes fans matched them too. We applauded their team at the end and stood to a man to applauded their coach, who clapped back.

A couple of idiots being stupid on a messageboard should not tarnish any of this.

Well done to the Barrow fans. You where a credit to your club yesterday

Where do you get that from - I have not come on here to stir anything mate and as for going on the Fax board I have not posted on there for ages. In doing so I have never set out to deliberatly wind anybody up, there has been a little banter and nothing more. Some stuff posted between boards and supporters often gets taken the wrong way, hence the reason I have refrained from posting on the Fax forum.

Contradicting what I say on the Barrow forum ? When ? How ?

Pepe you will find that I was one of the supporters who remained in the ground applauding both sets of players and also congratulated your supporters when I had the opportunity. No sour grapes here mate.

Faxman1 you are the toilet my friend

. You've only been a member for a month ?????

Im not knocking loan players mate. My point has been missed but it certainly was not a dig at loan signings. We have had 1 excellent loan (Lee Mossop) and hopefully Jamie Rooney will be a massive success for us.

Loan signings are a great way of giving teams an extra boost from SL standard players. Cullen is no mug and has picked his loans well.

I've never seen the guy around before. I think he is a fake, we've had them recently. Widnes fans tend to contribute to this board, not that there isnt the odd imbecile who doesn't give us all a bad name frequently on other boards but this guy is too obvious.
