Quite bizzare decision , only one conclusion , an attempt to apportion blame and deflect it away from your real problem , so what happens if things dont improve ovr the next 3/4 games ? , another 4 go ? :CRAZY:

Still as long as you've got Dave Allen still there you'll be alright :lol:

As they have been ' released ' , they would be free to sign for another Championship club wouldn't they ? , oh dear , whats the odds at least one of them comes back to haunt you ?


Starry as I see it they are free to negotiate elswhere but are still contracted. Just won't be considered for the first team.

FWIW Dave Allen will get a SL deal. Of that I am in no doubt regardless of his massive drop in form. TOC is too much of a fan of his.

Barrow for Super League 2015

I don't think for one minute that Widnes will be relegated. However, picture this scenario. In July, Halifax get a SL license and Wakefield and Cas are dumped out ....

Then, the Championship bottom 5 at the end of the season looks like this ...

7. Barrow
8. York
9. Widnes (going into SL)
10. Halifax (going into SL)
11. Toulouse (Exempt from relegation)

This scenario would mean that Barrow and York would be relegated into Championship 1 !!! I know there may well be yet another re-structure next season, but this is how ludicrous the Licensing system can be.

In August Wakefield win the Challenge Cup and in Super League Castleford are surprise Grand Final winners.

Talk your way out of that one mssrs Lewis and Woods !!

Fax won't get a license. Just being strung along to keep clubs on their toes.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Since the ' confirmation ' I have been a fairly regular contributor on this board , as long as we all avoid ' financial ' matters , we should be fine :wink:

Not really no , it's quite sad really , you should be kicking the SL door down , instead it looks like you'll be asking Nigel to leave a key under the mat when the season ends and sneaking in when it's gone dark :roll:

Il say he hasn't got a kicking game but others may disagree with me on that.

In fairness to the club we are struggling a little in the halves so I can understand this dual regger more than the previous two where we did have kids ready. Grant Gore had his first game back for the reserves on Saturday and it seemed to take it out of him a hell of a lot so he ain't ready yet. Gilmore injured still and I don't think the others in the reserves will step up nor the ones in 18's ready yet.


I don't think anyone would disagree that his kicking game isn't his strong point mate.

Allen isn't even Championship 1 standard , let alone SL , and the fact that one or all of your coaching staff rate him good enough tells you exactly the problem you have

A very good player in a decent Barrow side and one player they were disappointed to lose. He has shown glimpses of his ability but this side is being poorly coached and his performances have suffered as a result.

Still you judge him all you want on two very poor team performances.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

You're loving this, aren't you?

It's like a loving wet dream to you.

Look, the licence process is almost as poop as the w@ankers coaching our team. Nearly all of us feel this way here, so you are preaching to the wise. try the VT, you might get a bite there.
