Sounds like the perfect compliment to Ridyard. Astley plays off the cuff (according to his bio) and Ridyard more the organiser. Been crying out for a good 7 for a while and IMO Hewitt just isn't good enough. Although ultimately it's provably hard to judge given the opposition today

How did Astley play?

The floodlights performed better than Oldham and thats saying something. Fair play to Lock Lane

Emmerson Whittel returns. He should try and get one or two of the aussies he played with to come over and join him

New signing to be announced tonight. Another amateur? Any guesses?

Tom Spencer latest signing. Brilliant this. The pack version of Martin Ridyard

Ridyard

Perhaps Sheriffe will sort his knee out and sign on again

I thought he played full back for us?

Be good if we could prize Sam Freeman from Rochdale. They've just signed Gregg McNally. Assume they've brought him in to play full back

Martyn Ridyard in on a one year deal. Perfect signing

Course he has . I guess beggars can't be choosers

We should be going after local lads like Lewis Galbraith, Ben Moores and Danny Yates etc

Really positive appointment if you ask me. Wonder how long it'll take CH to alienate him. Bet he hasn't seen the books yet

That was Danny Bridge

Anyone know of any rumours? 100% Hewitt stays

Craig

Anyone heard of any incoming player rumours?

I've heard some stories from a trusted source this week and if they're true CH is an absolute ######

I'm sure Hewitt will stick around

Yeah i think we got walloped at home against widnes. Andy Gorey was playing for us at the time

Bottle jobs

Seems a bit like quantity over quality to me. Hope I'm wrong

During his time at union I'm sure he's made some very wealthy contacts and probably made a few bob himself. I think the dream would be him heading up a consortium (including other oldhamers like Terry Flanagan for example) and buying out Hamilton. Mike Ford to be a head of rugby role or director of Rugby something like that and build the club up.

What about Steve Mcormack?
