Joel Tomkins had one good game for us on loan against your bunch away and most of us were mortified Doran had been dropped to the bench for him! 2 seasons later he's got a Wigan starting jersey, in the SL dream team and is an England international and a certainty for 4 nations trip!

And I'll tell you now that he was far from anything special as a junior player!

Bracek was signed by Barrow as a Loose Forward. Whilst not big enough for a SL prop, he could certainly hold his own in the pack at that level again (remember, he played almost 60 games for Warrington before coming to Barrow).

His footwork and workrate is excellent. I certainly would have liked to see him remain at Barrow. A reduced contract was offered (due to the 25% reduction in the salary cap), but he wanted to remain on the same money as his previous 2 year deal.

The prob that clubs are finding is that players are over pricing themselves....... they need a reality check or will be without a team as clubs aint willing to pay out big contracts anymore due to the salary cap in this league.

No part time player should be paid more than £20K in the Championship IMO....... the salary cap aint big enough for massive wages, when players like Paul and Bibey`s contracts are up at Leigh they will be offered less money like as just happened to Nanyn - accept em or leave I say.
