How afford 4 of them under the salary cap?

Not sure if this is correct, bus because deakin still owns the players contracts- there is no transfer fee of any sort. So it doesnt effect the salary cap ?

Out of all those I would say that Dave Allen was potentially the best.. certainly before his drug ban but I'm not sure how he has gone recently.



James Coyle is okay... Don't think Danny Halliwell is anything to get too excited about.



I would say that they are all fairly average signings to be honest. Probably just a case of bumping up the numbers up there but none of them will prove to be the inspiration that you need.



We can only assume that the numbers add up as the RFL would be on them already.. but how many players have you let go to make room? Just Brocklehurst isn't it?

I believe Rooney is on a small mint up there.

How much money do they have just out of interest?

What has happened at Barrow is a little bizarre to say the least. Changing the coach when they are second in the league, and then bring in 4 players in one go, is a little disruptive to the team to say the least. Be interesting to see what happens, but lets remember, these 4 were playing in Championship 1 for a reason.

I really rated James Coyle, thought he was fighting a losing battle at times. Played on his own for much of the year without a recognised partner at six, as well as playing several games with lots of strapping due to injury.

MAKE THAT 5

Think Barrow have also signed Rob Roberts for as much as he can drink

Fook me they must be well over the Celery cap

Catic/Rooney/Luisi wont be coming cheap and after adding 5 players to the roster i can only assume Des has sent one of his staff out to stationary box for a pack of brown envelopes.

Broadbent wont be cheap either

He won't be on that much, and I don't think he'll be playing for much longer.
