I wonder if Thompsons signed for Barrow and was due a bigger contract if they got promoted?

Says on Barrow forum 2 Haven players close to signing for them as mentioned at an EGM they had last night. I would imagine it will be Newton and Miller if the rumours are to be believed. If true Fozzy has a lot of work ahead recruiting in pivotal positions. So far rumour mill suggesting we are to lose Newton, Miller, Dion, Holland as well as Crook already leaving and lising Macca and Calvert. Big shoes to fill in a league surrounded by uncertainty.  Automatic promotion has to be the aim. That being said Fozzy did a great job this year and will have learned a lot also.

Don’t think Miller will be that big a miss, he definitely not a Full Back, Jordan Burns played a lot better in that position when selected there.

I’m sure Foz will have irons in the fire, but as usual travel will be against us.

Going to be a huge struggle to win automatic promotion. Bradford will be coming down with a fulltime squad and the RFL behind them.

Then you've got York, Doncaster and Newcastle who all apparently have cash to splash plus Keighley and Oldham who will be able to pick up players who arent needed at a higher level.

 It'll be much more competitive next season.

Dowsett would be a more than handy replacement

Personally I would look for 2 new hookers, C. Phillips being one. A proper link with a SL club would be ideal, where w could have full season loans for 3/4 position where we are struggling to find adequate solutions.

Looking at the above we need, as a minimum;

2 Wingers
Halfback
Prop
2 Hookers
Backrower
