I have it from a very good source that your hooker Smith is set to go to Barrow to replace Ellis who in turn is leaving for either Quins or Bradford. Looks like you aren't going to have much of a team left next year.

Balls

The same source that told me Halifax were signing Gene, Leigh were signing Duffy and RP and that you guys were getting Coyle. He told me this several weeks ago. There is a transfer fee involved in the Smith switch apparently.

The big man himself was asked recently if he was leaving and his response was that there was no chance..

Besides Barrow couldn't afford him and remain under the cap. Between him and Rooney half the cap would be used up on two players...

What makes you think that Barrow are under the cap at the moment?

Allegedly, Its far to easy to get around the cap these days when you have a chairman who owns his own company, after all the players have to have a day job don't they?

As it happens I don't. But there more players they sign the more conspicuous it looks.

Well ill be shocked if this happens, and if Webbo also fooks of and Morrison i may consider topping myself.

I agree. It will be interesting to see if anything happens if they are breaking the salary cap and get found out. According to the RFL's rules they would be banned from entering a license application but I think the RFL do want a Cumbrian team in SL.

As for Smithy's signing, Ellis will be on a few bucks and apparently Lulesi (sp) is off to Quins as well. That should free up some space.

Zeb Luisi has already played for quins a few years back and was released!

Interesting, that rumour was from the Fax board, not my usual trustworthy source.

The Smith move has been on the cards for a while and at the end of the day money talks. On Barrow, Lucky is in talks with a couple of Championship teams.

No it hasn't.

He was approached by Leigh before the season finished, he renegotiated terms with Widnes. He has said that he is staying put. His family is settled in the area and he loves the club. One of the major issues he had at the club look like it may well be off too...

end of.

Why cant we buy the good players like fax etc?We got a nr final and have higher attendances.The way we are recruiting seems like we got no money.Thought ste oconnor is rich, it just seems so strange.Think we have a 1000 fan base with the players going.It a farce i just i feel annoied fax and barrow sign and we dont.

We will be getting some good ones, have patience lad.

I love how eveybody is picking apart Barrow's Team. Ellis has signed for NOBODY yet, Luisi has signed a 2 year contract, Harrison has re-signed. If I were a betting man I would say Ellis will be a Barrow player next season. I would also bet that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ & _ _ _ _ _ _ _ will be to

This thread is about Smith ya big tart.

I believe I know who will be Ellis's replacement. It's not smith!

Correct but it is also going on about Barrow players leaving YOU BIG TART

Ellis is gone. Zen in talks with other teams. Both are fact.

Go and discuss on their board then...

Oh dear Gary you are going to be dissapointed. Don't you read the papers. Quinns are saying it's a done deal for Ellis.
As for smith I guess it must be some other mark smith who plays for Widnes who's agent is passing his name round to talk to other clubs.

Always knew you were a bit of a trifle

It must be a completely different one... but there's only one Luke Brannigan that was spotted at the Stobart.

Ellis' own words while out in Barrow last night celebrating.

"I haven't signed for anyone yet"

While this does not mean he won't sign for another club, it shows your statement to be nothing but trolling or at best wishful thinking.

Luisi has signed a contract in recent weeks keeping him at Barrow next seasion.

Please try and include some facts in your posts, we don't mind speculation, but please don't dress it up as the truth.
