Scott Lofthouse and David Lowery at Kells (both current GB internationals who've toured with BARLA).

JP Brocklebank at Egremont (another GB international in a position we struggle with - how about an all Egremont Brocklebank - Purdham combination at 1/2 back?).

Its quite simple they are not interested, a lot of amateur players are still very cautious after what happened last season with the club going into administration, also players talk to each other and it doesn't matter what people say on here Whitehaven never look after the local players as they do the traveling players, some of our local players who played in the u23s are still owed money from July and thats a fact ?
