Oh well that rumour was wrong, I guess Briers won't be at Barrow next season - just signed a 12 month extension to his Warrington contract

No he won't.

good luck rooney, good work barrow hes gunna destroy teams on his own is r jay

Why have wakey let rooney go...anyone know....is is disciplinary reasons, cos thought he was one of their main players? just seems a bit strange....still its a coup for barrow.



(ps. just out of interes can anyone tell me whether Nathen Mossop who played on sun is a relation to Lee?)

yep, cousin

Cheers mate....thought it must be but couldnt find anythin on him on t'internet.....you recon hes gonna be a good un then?

How is rooney playing for your lot?

Has only played 2 games:

His debut against Toulouse he was sound; directed us around the field very well, you could tell he was of super league quality very easily.



Second game, whitehaven away : was took care of very well, kicking in open play was pretty good, but was very quiet ball in hand.

Both of which have been on TV so if he was a real Roony fan the wakey fella would have known anyway









Still cant believe Rooney is playing NL though, with all respect to you guys cos your a top team in that divison, Rooney is not the sort of player you expect to be playing national league...you would think he could get a SL contract anywhere.....either you must be paying mega bucks or hes done something thats been pushed under the carpet and hence no SL clubs want him?

Rooney is most definately good enough for Super League. There has been talk of him signing a permanent contract at the end of the season- what a signing that would be in the long term. I think with obst being at wakefield aswell as other talent backs, it is very hard for rooney to picture himself going back there and walking back into the team. At barrow he is given first team action every week and the freedom to play his game. With des behind the wheel at barrow, i have no doubt he will be getting as good a pay as he would have been recieving at wakey. However, i dont think money is a factor right now. Barrow have a bright future, and are creating an even brighter one for jamie

do me a FAVOUR the only people who are loyal in RL is the speccies players go where the money is, wouldnt be surprised if you lot announce the signing of Dave Allen, he was due to sign for Leigh but the 'megga - wonga' on offer at Barrow was too much to turn down

It's a professional sport.

Players play for MONEY. And of course an employer who offers more money has a better chance of acquiring a person's services.



That's life.
