If you can dispense with the clown act for five minutes there's an underlying tragic fact in all this Barlow nonsense. He shouldn't even be playing in this League. He should be playing in SL but his indiscipline and naivety will ensure he stays down here. Two good coaches couldn't steer him and judging by Rowley's "proud" comments last week then neither will he.

He was very popular with Fax fans until his indiscipline and off- field bullsh**t made him a squad liability. You've had him for five minutes Charlie. Take heed lad.

Rich , I can dispence with the Clown façade for much longer than that , but why take life so seriously , Rugby is just a Game the outcome of which I cannot control , but anyone who knows me will tell you , im very competitive in other things , I hate Losing you should try playing Poker with me .

Again I feel Fax fans should let the Sam Barlow factor go , his Fax days are over , let him get on with his career ,Paul Rowley is not only a good coach , but a very good man manager , who treats players as they expect to be treated , im sure he will make the most of Sam .OK Leigh have had him for a short time , but your worries should be about your own players doing childish waving , and the like .Anyway rant over .

Remembering Rowley comments when he left Fax and some of the things Sam ,supposedly,said then I think they make a good pair

Charlie.
As I have said before Sam is a very nice bloke, always pleased to chat, have his photo taken with Halifaxjohnsrugrats and generally conducts himself well, off the pitch.
I think Sam would have benefitted from at least one match suspension, that way he could reflect on what he did. (It was out of order) instead, as we know from past experience he won't learn and sorry Charlie, Mr Rowley may have said in public that he is proud of Sam but if the result had gone against Leigh would he have been that proud?
Again as I have said before I wish Sam was still with us and before the game I urged Fax Fans to give him a break. After the game I used the word morons for the way Fax Fans goaded Sam. It certainly looks as though Sam had the last laugh.
BUT I agree with littlerich, unless someone gets inside his head and tells him he can do far more damage on the pitch than off it then Charlie, your going to be very disappointed, and for Sams sake and yours I hope your not.
Ps come on lads were Rugby League, no more falling out or I'll send Mrshalifaxjohn round, she'll sort you out. Frightening, I can tell you.


Just my opinion, sometimes right often wrong.

Fickle Halifax fans Barlow was great when he played for us, Harrison let him go through choice just like Penky and Beswick down hill ever since get over it

John , my comments weren't aimed at you , as I know your opinion on Sam its a case of these things happen , as for Paul Rowley and his comments ?I have never heard him say anything derogatory about Fax , and I think his "Proud " comment has been taken out of context ,Paul is not that sort of a bloke .Personally I think we need blokes like Sam , we at Leigh have hard men in the past , in Timmy Street , Tony Cottrell , and Alan Rathbone , and add Sams name to this list , they guy likes to get stuck in on the pitch , but hes no THUG , as hes been described as .And remember your own Tony Tonks was sin-binned for Striking , but Big Karl says hes innocent .

Agree with littlerich on this one, you must not have seen him play often. I only remember him producing the goods a couple of times, NRC final, and Grand Final, so both big games but more often than not he didnt really do much. i can remember him having lots of bad games for us though, the one at Fev or the one at Hunslet really stand out.

Re: Barlow : Tue Apr 22, 2014 12:21 pm  

Anyway, he's not your problem now he's ours, it will go one of 2 ways, he will either do the job he is paid to do and be managed by Paul or he will implode and you can all say "we told you so".

I know they weren't Charlie, and we could go on for ever and ever, but one thing I will dispute with you, don't put Sam in the same bracket as Timothy Street. Tell you why if you ask me.
And after only half a season its too early to decide how good he will be for you.
Personally I hope he finds a team and a coach he is happy with.
Best wishes.

Rowley....I've learnt more in three months at Huddersfield than I did in three years at Halifax. Just before Fax gave shudds a good stuffing at McAlpine, led from the front by Johnny Lawless.
