I somehow feel quite deflated about this and think its the first bit of negative news to come out of the club since the takeover.
I also feel that it is now time to, bring back some positives, by starting to name the "exciting players" we are alleged to have signed already for next season. Dudson and Milner are no doubt very good players but for me don't have the wow factor I was expecting. I hope the claims of signing exciting players was not exaggerated and that they will be named in the very near future.
Patience is a virtue my friend !

We don't have a coach. Jake Webster is still classed as interim coach but the word is he will be the head coach next season. That will make him a board member, Director of Rugby and Head Coach. Not sure how that works.
Your season really hit the buffers when you sacked your coach mid-season. Seemed a bizarre decision at the time & has proved the case.

Are the rumours true that most of the Swinton lads will be on holiday when the Keighley (or Rochdale) game comes round??

I was looking at the route to take the motorhome down there. I think I'd take three days going from Dieppe. I've got a feeling that we might swamp the pub we used last time (was it called The Hole in the Wall?)
It would be great if it was a Saturday then maybe The Canaries of Carcassone play on the Sunday with a few Yeds there too.
Keeping fingers crossed as two of the offspring are getting married next summer.
As Kev might sing "Debout pour les Roughyeds"

Wtf is this sudden 'entente cordiale' between us Roughyeds & the old enemy !
Seriously, best of luck to the red,white & blue in the quest for promotion. The A627 derby in the Championship sounds very appealing.

What a magnificent day Sunday was. The photo below is fantastic. I saved it to my desktop and blew it up. The elation on the faces of the fans is a joy to see.

Didn't rate Fairbrother anyway!!!!!!
Get to my age and thankfully I only made two mistakes and thanks for correcting me.
Obviously, I meant PLT and Chapelhow a "fairbrother" of the other one.
Still see a win by 24.
For a minute I thought we'd re-signed Fieldhouse

Think I would prefer to see Craven given another week so he is fully fit to face Keighley. Be interesting to see who makes the starting line up on Sunday.
Agreed, would seem daft to bring him back too quick against these.

Think we'll have well over 1,000 fans on Sunday, awesome to see. If/when we win, the Sandy Lane end should explode when the players come to applaud us

what are the said injuries of ridyard and else anybody know.
Riddy's ankle injury was described as serious , not sure if he's broken it.

Great to see Steve Molloy , Lucas Onyango & Valu Bentley at BP yesterday collecting their Heritage Certificates. As great as things are looking now (yesterday was thumping good !) its good to see those who wore the red & white proudly in the past being remembered too. Up the Yeds!

So us Yeds can turn up on Saturday morning & spy on your Captain's run session, expect 2,000 Owdamers on Sunday & about 200 on Saturday morning
I trust we will all be made welcome

Was surprised O'Keefe was left out on Sunday, unless he's injured again?

We're definitely light at centre and back row with our injuries but I think this looks a much better balanced team than last weeks.
I'd be surprised if he leaves Ellis out - Astley on the bench for me.

Can't fault the result Keighley out thought and mixed things up quite a lot. There has to be some reference to the whistle blower. I felt throughout the game he was out of his depth and was unable to keep up with the game - the last Keighley was laughably off side. He gave 7 penalties to Oldham's 3 and three of his "penalties" led to tries. His he bothered, no, because nothing will be done about him.
Nevertheless, the best side won on the day. Can't wait for the replays.
Come on The Midlands!
Mate, you really do have to stop blaming referees! It's tiresome. We were outplayed on the day as you correctly stated. My view is that Keighley out-enthused us, probably because a win was essential for them, otherwise we'd have had one foot in the Championship before May was out. Now, it will be a fight to the death and I am confident we will beat them at BP in the next game in July. That will be a fixture not to miss!
Back to the penalties conceded, that's our lack of discipline, not the referee's fault.

We should definitely not underestimate this mob in their own backyard. From their 21 man squad most of their big guns appear to be there. They pushed Bradford Bulls very close in the 1895 Cup and will be highly motivated. The loss to Hunslet was a blip.
We need to match them in the desire stakes or it could be a giant banana skin. Having said that, I'm sure we will.
COME ON OLDHAM.

With you lot playing keighley three times I think we need you to beat them three times which pretty much determines the order.
Don't forget we'll have beaten you twice as well

This will be another tough game. Not worried about points difference. 2 more points and no injuries is all that matters.
Absolutely!

George Hirst
in Oldham RLFC
Posted
It's an unusual deal this because when a player is under contract, which George is, a transfer fee is normally involved. This doesn't appear to be the case here. As I see it, if George doesn't make it at Wigan & never makes their first team, the deal won't have cost Wigan a penny. But if he makes it big time & becomes a regular, they are paying us a fee per appearance so will we get recompensed by them for as long as George plays, 10 years potentially? Or is that just for 2025?
Also if he plays on loan for us in 2025 as is suggested, will he be training with us during the week or at Wigan? I'm not sure the other lads at Oldham would be too happy if he gets picked to play on a Sunday if he's been training there all week.
Guess all will come to light in due course.
