Never rated him, last time I saw him play for Featherstone he was embarassed by Bobby Goulding when we had him. Yes Goulding was a class player in his time, but if Rooney is that good, he shouldn't be being outclassed.

If you think anything is secret in RL you are wrong!! If your under the salary cap the world is made of cheese!

I wonder they went for Rooney because Lee Briers is staying at Warrington? www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ngton.html

And some of thier fans were saying it was a 'done deal' ahhh the ever optimistical rugby fan

Funny how the topic of Barrow Raiders and our signings appears on pretty much EVERY board on here. Do I detect a hint of jealousy ? Its been a very long time since we had any hint of success and still some people begrudge us it. I would think that if the BoD has any kind of aspirations to play in SL, they will make sure we are under the Cap. If not then we will be found out and pay the price. I don't think that will happen though
