There, thats about a hundred. Time to go home to mummykins and daddykins.

Oh nearly forgot, Off! Number Seven........Dessy needs some dosh, go buy a grossly overpriced season ticket.

oi! copy and paste is cheating, now type it out properly

Bugger

Barrow should apply for a drop down in leagues, they can have 2 then no problem

Hang on the RFL have already said they'll be looking into travelling expenses on cap for the forthcming season so why such a big deal now for Barrow etc?

Removing it from the cap gives clubs another loophole for paying players. Watch out for mileage rates of £5 per mile

i dont see a problem with that!!

They'll be ok when Dick and his henchmen put them in SL because 'we need a SL team in Cumbria'. Then they can have 5 overseas players...at least!

so if being away from the M62 is the backbone of your case then haven should have no problem getting 2 overseas players

what a joke

It all means nothing

Seems to me you can sign as many forigners as you want these days...just nip down the pub for a polish passport should do the trick

Saints will be the next development area

Cant DJ fund a mini bus for all the local players signed at the end of the season to cut down on travelling expenses??

Secondly can your new coach not take a few up with him or has he finally decided to live up North??



In all seriousness the cheek of your chairman to ask for this dispensation is nothing short of a joke!!

And lastly to make things totally fair we have a rule of one overseas spot for all 11 teams in the league irrespective of where the hell you are based, or am I just dreaming???

Well we are the only sport that has one rule for one club and another set of rules for other clubs. This is just confirming that the sport is a joke when it comes to rules and regulations.

So Barrow find it harder to attract players than clubs on the m62? Clubs along the m62 have to work harder to get people through their gates as the spectators have more clubs/sports to chose from.

Anybody living in Yorkshire or lancashire could chose from a number of SL or championship/championship 1 teams to go and watch and thats before we even get to premiership or championship football!!!

Without sounding rude there apears to be a lot less to do in Barrow than a lot of places, so Barrow RL should in theory find it easier to get locals through their gates.

I don't get this one at all!! Cumbria is a hotbed for amateur RL. Why would clubs in Cumbria need to troll the M62 corridor for playing staff?? Any club chairman up there with a bit of brass, and an ounce of nouce would be hoovering up the local talent, and giving the Cumbrian fans a club they could really rally to!! - as we, in our own small way, are attempting to do here!

How many local lads - who'd display pride in the shirt, and would not need travelling expenses - could you get for the price of a couple of Aussies, over here to top up their pension fund??

It's a 'no-brainer' IMHO!!

Don't see the problem.
Toulouse got a excemption this season and next season, also classed as Rugby playing area for a number of years.

Its the games rules on clubs exemptions on overseas players that are daft, Barrow are just highlighting it.

Did they get an exemption or is it that French laws re visa's are more leniant than ours?

Excemption! The quota rules are set by RFL and no-one else!

its also worth noting barrow has its own amateur league, with askam, one time " big hitters" in the conf, one of the leading teams

With also Barrow Island, Walney Central both of whom play in the NW Counties league. I wonder where they get these players from?.

Has anyone queried how they are going to afford it and keep within the salary cap?

Half their squad must be turning out for less than minimum wage at this rate.

If Barrow manage to become developement area club then its a joke after decades of history this club has!

Don't forget Roose, Dalton, Ulverston and Millom

I had n`t but I ran out of ink.

oh, and hindpool too
