The way Thacks has improved recently, Barrow are welcome to him. Thackerey (sp?) has many years of rugby ahead of him and if he continues putting in the sort of performance that he did against 'fax then I'd have him him over Rooney any day of the week.

Those insane dummies he threw for his hat trick over 'fax were pure class.

It is however good to see Barrow mean business, this league will only get better and tougher over the next few seasons.

Nah Vikingman, I am pretty certain it was 20k, could be wrong though. Remember thinking we had missed a trick though at the time.

We offered £5k, they wanted £40k.

Wasn't 10k the figure we refused to pay for Tommy Gallagher after we had him on loan the 1st time? Then he ended up at Toulouse and played a blinder against us in the CC quarters?

As for Rooney, very good signing, but I still think Barrow are in a weaker position than if they had Holt, Campbell and Brocklehurst.

Barry Dowd-esque?

Very good signing for Barrow...

Not sure I would take him over what we have at the club at the moment but there's no doubting that he will make Barrow a better team. I'm just relieved he's not eligible to play in the NRC final..........

Unless expansion teams are allowed to flaunt the rules on that too.

Since when have Barrow been an expansion team - we play by the same rules as you
