which division do you expect dewsbury to go well in, they were promoted to the championship, yet you've lumped them in with champ 1 sides??

think it will go

Fax
Leigh
Sheffield
Barrow
Widnes

Championship
Barrow
Fax
Widnes
Batley/Sheffield


Championship 1
Swinton
Blackpool
Hunslet
Town [i(watch this space)[/i

This is full of typing errors which is the kindest thing I can say about your guesses.

Batley up there are you on drugs?

I‘ve got to admit. Batley was a wild card

A bit difficult to call without knowing who has signed for each club.

Based on last season our squad needs more players as just having a quality coach won't be enough in this division (as other clubs will also be signing ex SL players as well but from a position of strength last season).

One thing I would expect is Toulouse to have a big season (either that or pointers that come next franchise announcements it will be 1 English club and 1 foreign club going into SL)

In the Champ id expect the top two to be between Barrow and fax and 3rd and Fourth between Sheffield and Fev.

Certainly is when they beat Barrow by a clear 30 points !!!

Terrible that isn't it. Good job we never shipped 74 points!



I can understand your excitement at being back int the Championship. But seiously guys, you can't consider yourselves contenders for next season. Millward may have done well at Saints, but you really need players for him to do something with. You need to start signing before before you start predicting.

Your problems last season - too small.

We've got a better squad than we have had for a couple of seasons IMO so I reckon we'll do well next season. With Millward on the scene & with all this up & coming young talent Leigh will be a force to reckon with in a couple of seasons. P.S we have made some signings & good solid ones.

Assuming you are a Barrow bandwaggon jumper, i've seen Leigh beat Barrow at least 15 times in the last few years how many wins have you seen, keep on discounting us mate leave us to keep beating teams on the quiet

Yeah thats right, I jumped on this bandwagon 24 years ago, so I reckon I have seen more Barrow defeats than you ever will.



As for our wins over Leigh, well I saw 2 last season, surely they are the only ones that count, any other results are consigned to the past, where you apparently live!

I am not here to start an argument. However the attitude that you have just displayed is what got your club in the situation it found itself in last season. Its called complacency, you may have been a big club and competed at a higher level than Barrow in the last 20 years, but at present you are not as competitive, well financed or well supported.

I am glad the situation with the league has been resolved in the manner it has. Leigh are where they should be. The point I wanted to make is that some posts by Leigh fans were talkin about top 4 finishes. Is that really possible without a major recruitment programme?

i think we have made quite a recruitment drive this year and i think we will make the top 4.

1.Donlan
2.Stanton/Mort
3.Maden
4.Nanyn
5.Alstead
6.Hartley
7.Paul
8.Bibey
9.Maconnell
10.Hill
11.Armistead
12.Taylor
13.Duffy

14.Higson
15.Goulden
16.Lueluai
17.Durbin

Looks pretty good to me just like to see the 2 new signings see were they can go looking a lot lot better than last year

This Championship is getting better than it's ever has been & with the right coaching & squad, playing mentality & the right funds it COULD (in capitals to highlight the possibility) be easier to get in the top 4. The league has been capped & there isn't 2 SL clubs to be contending now so I'm confident that we can make the top 4 now our circumtances are different to last season.

Unfortunately we don't have a recruitment company to hide the salaries in

The Barrow fan is making a good point re our attendances.

Over the season we averaged 1984 for league games and they 2250.Makes you think what would have happened had we had their squad and them ours last season.

Err if we live in the past then surely LAST YEAR was also in the past.

Well financed does that mean Salary Cap Busting? Well without getting into an argument Better Coach Better Ground More Supporters... We have had a couple of bad seasons did you play us when Millward was here previously or when we had a good side? Doesn't matter how much cash you throw at your men and Mr Bracek isn't shy for telling people just how much by the way if the players play for the team the coach and the fans like we predict your flukey win last season won't count for nowt pal

I wouldn't call it flukey & one off maybe

I don't think theyll do it next season

Not much difference there Frank is there saying they were near the top all season and us near the bottom.

exactly if thats the reflection of their support when winning the season thats not great really god knows wot it would be if they we're at the bottom. Our folling could of been better but we played rubbish for alot of the season but our following next season will be good. Its a fresh start, a new era & exciting times roll on next season

I agree matey i think if we play well next season we will easily smash that average of theirs.
