Barlow to cas???? : Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:34 am  

Just been speaking to a good source who confirmed Barlow is heading to castleford on a 2 year contract.

I know Sam well and wish him all the best if true but why would he leave to go to a club in as poorer situation than us.
It is super leasgue but in a few years halifax will take their place.
Good luck to the guy who i think is our best forward by a distance....

hope not, but if its true. good luck to him.

Get off the lads' back & stop £hit stirring. He's contracted to Halifax there are always other clubs trying to tap players up who are in top form. He doesn't look to me like a player who doesn't want to wear the blue & white hoops of Halifax RLFC.

I wishing the lad good luck with the chance but also firmly beleive he should stay with Halifax.

If what you say is true, it's a two year contract and the current franchises run for two years.

What makes you wonder why he'd go from Halifax to Cas ?

Re: Barlow to cas???? : Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:50 pm  

Sam has not signed anything with anyone and has not made any decision on his future. He loves Halifax as we all know and there is always the possibility that he will stay.

Cant blame him if true. Good luck to him!

Do we really believe that we will get Cas' licence? Dream on folks! They only thing we have got over them is the stadium. The last 3 seasons of licencing have seen to that

Whatever Sam decides all the best. He gives everything and is as passionate about the club as anybody on this board. But he has to look after himself and if a SL club comes in fair on him. Personally I think Cas would be a big mistake as they are going nowhere but the championship as the team is crap. The ground is still a lovely drawing on paper with nothing being done and the club are losing money and cant compete in SL. My opinion is a player might be best playing for Fax, Fev or Leigh getting regular winning pay and the chance of winning a medal- something they wont ever achieve at Cas, Salford, Hull KR, London etc

Come on Col you know full well that the majority of Barlow rumours are started by Barlow himself. Wonder if Phil Clarke can provide us with the statistics as to what percentage he starts.............
