I think most people on here want the team to do well and if the performance isn't what I or anyone else wants it's good to get it off your chest. Everything I have said this year isn't out of malice or hatred to the chairman or any of the board it's because I care it's because I know we can do better. I don't see an oldham team as a bottom half league one side I see oldham at least mid championship. Why because I have watched the club over 40 plus years. It saddens me where we are now.

Didn't say it was easy far from it. You need vision a strong respected coach and a bit of cash.

Here is my view. We were relegated from the championship after employing a massive name who was suppose to be able to work his magic and failed. The question is would his fees been better invested in building a squad of players all signed up for 2022 as opposed to 80% of the squad leaving maybe. Now come next month how many of the 2022 squad will be here in 2023 not many. So how do you build a culture when you lose at least 80% of your squad each year. You can't In my opinion you need to have the vision to sign players on 2 or 3 year deals that cannot be broken in order to build a squad with pride passion in the shirt the club and the ethos. If we don't then we will be stuck in the bottom reaches of professional rugby league

Never a dull moment that's for sure. The only other pro club who could throw away that sought of lead is Warrington. I am still of the opinion that we should throw the towel in for this year

Sad state affairs. The sooner the season is over the better

Cheers

The scrum half is the lad from Wigan and I think he's played super league this year. Is Ridyard injured

Because we sign 25 players on season long deals then we don't play them but the youngsters from super league clubs. Is it due to part of the loan players wages are covered by the patent club and as such don't come out of oldham's coffers. Or is it the fact that the players were signed before we had a coach and coach don't fancy them. If its the latter then it is certainly the chairman's fault

Agreed, and alot of other fans agree hence why the walk up isn't great and the club doesn't publish attendance figures anymore. Is that because they are embarrassed or simply no one cares

Sometimes it makes you think that it isn't the coach selecting the team

Indeed

No replies. Sums everything up really

When your little all you want to be is a pro sportsman. It seems now if your dont get a full time contract your ambition is now to play national conference rugby. I know some conference teams are far better than most league 1 clubs with regards their set ups and playing standards. Oldham just need to look at what lock lane did. Good luck to the lad don't know his circumstances could be work playing time being totally hacked off with losing.

When I try and print digital programmes,pdf format, I choose booklet option but this mixes up the pages but if I choose the normal print option it prints in page order. Is this something that can be amended

Probably a team sheet

Really disappointed with this news
