Barlow was outstanding. Leave it alone.

Re: Sam Barlow : Tue May 10, 2011 8:05 am  

Barlow was excellent for us like he has been throughout the season. He nailed a few of there forwards and put in a huge shift in the pack.

Our best forward by a country mile

If we dont get the nod for SL in july i am sure he will leave and go super league and if so i would wish him my best as he has been outstanding since returning to us.

Par for the course, fax fans being critical. Miserable armchair coach sods.

Barlow was a tower. A lot Players with 'discipline' you desire wouldn't have been able to do for 20 minutes what Sam did for 80.

Sam 'bowser' barlow!

Bumped into Sam yesterday. He admitted he was a wee bit lucky to have stayed on the field never mind that he wasn't even put on report. He said he did say sorry though

A good player but his discipline lets him down. The high tackle was silly. But a couple of times he deliberately got in the way at the play the ball and cost us to defend sets on our own line-which is a great weakness of ours. If Sam learned to cut out the daft stuff he would first be a much better player and secondly would help the team even more than he does. He certainly gave it the Bradfrod team yesterday, but he just needs to think a bit more than what he does. I am sure Noble will help in this area not just with Sam but the whole team. Silly Penalties are killing us.

and third he would be playing somewhere else............

Leave it out with the player bashing. Our major problem has been lasck of pssion so far this season not too much of it.

I am not player bashing but highlighting how he could easily be even better. Some of things he did on sunday could have been avoided. I mean kicking the ball at the ptb. I believe he is sl quality but there is some things he needs to work on. I just want sam and others to keep improving and am not knocking his quality and effort.

Barlow has been charged by the RFL for a grade B offence following his high shot on Sunday.

I wonder if he got caught up in Gary Hetherington's grassing up campaign.

I saw Andy Lynch last night while he was coaching the Bulls scholars U/16's & he just laughed off the incident when some of the kids gave him a bit of bird over it. He still has his pretty boy looks, didn't look too damaged by the shot.

Sam 'bowser' barlow!

had he been sent off after 5 seconds everybody wouldve been miserable, yourself included maybe

Im not doubting Sam is a great player and just the type we need to climb the table. However he does lose his head at times- it is a weakness whether you like it or not, and one that I dont feel is excusable

he will learn, i just hope through coaching rather than the hard way
