A fan is a fan. They should be expected to know about their own team and just because they don't know the home address of every player in every team does not mean they know nothing.

Just because you haven't heard of the opponents players does not instantly mean they are no good.

Lets see what Sunday brings along and hope we all get a thoroughly enjoyable game.

Good luck to both teams in contributing to a good game, but especially the Fax boys, I'll be cheering you on from behind the goals in the South Stand.

Prediction

Fax 36 Barrow 16

Att 1953

Correct me if i'm wrong, but are you talking about Said Tamghart ? Oldham player last year ?
Doesn't wear sock's?

He's a good player ( off the bench ).

Fair enough mate. I know nowt.

You really are a Rugby League God.

Sorry - I got a little carried away there. Wrong comment. I am however a little surprised you didn't know more of our players . . .

Good Luck for Sunday, should be an exciting game!

No worries mate. Barrow haven't played Fax for a few years (and didn't really turn up in 2005!!), so I really haven't kept up with teams in the old NL1 - too busy worrying about our own chances in NL2.

Seriously, Brock has looked good to-date, as have pretty much all of our new signings that are actually in the country !! Hopefully we may get our 'foreign legion' in the next week or so.

I hope we give you a good game and am praying for a bonus point at least. Given we will be missing 3 or 4 regulars and are waiting on the 5 Antipodians, realistically a good performance from the Raiders would do me to be honest.

Come the start of the League campaign we should be even stronger.

It'll be nearly 7 months since a competitive match at home for us when Keighley visit next weekend. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I am sure the league game will be a much better spectacle when we're both at full strength and in the full swing of things. On the subject of your imports, what are the chances of all of them playing for Barrow? I have heard (via your other forum) that the main issue is with your Fijians, most notably Wes Suka and that they are likely to be going to French RU. Any updates? I can imagine some attractive rugby if they play.

I think the only question mark surrounds Suka. The fact that he won Fijian player of the year might have got his agent seeing Fijian Dollar signs. The story actually said that he had an offer to France to play League AND Union but it also said that he could take an offer up with his 'old' club in Australia. Then in the next breath he (or his agent) said that there were some issues in his Barrow contract that needed ironing out and they were talking to the club about it.

At the end of the day all the Fijians have signed 2 year deals that have been ratified by the RFL - so they are officially Barrow players. If they don't fulfill their contracts at Barrow, whatever club they go to will have to pay a transfer fee or Barrow could stop them playing anywhere really.

Hopefully they'll all be here next week.

We had a similar scenario with Aaron Heremaia and Sam Hoare last season, they both went to play in Australia and told nobody at the club. We didn't get any transfer fee though, so you may be out of luck. It should't be allowed.
