Chris's heart was always in the right place at Oldham, but he wanted /demanded sole control & in so doing alienated sponsors/other potential directors/fans. He wasn't a 'money man' so the club always struggled to compete on the field. He also had the bad habit of rubbing people up the wrong way. But in Fev's current sad predicament, I can't think of a better person to sort it out because his financial acumen is second to none, just don't expect success on the field anytime soon. Oh, and the players were always paid under Chris's watch in 25 years.

I thought so too but he isn't on their squad list and they have never officially announced him. He is still on our current squad list - alongside Baxter, Lannon and Greener..
It would be great to keep him and Warrington have definitely released him.
And the club wished him Happy Birthday today
might be a hint

Not seen mentioned anywhere else, but well done to the club for appearing at the Future Ready event.
Just little things like this put us in young people’s consciousness.
What's the Future Ready event?

I quite like the fixtures it gives us, but don't understand how it produces a representative league table.
It definitely doesn't, hence the need for a 10 team play-off (practically half the division) to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Agreed. He was playing really well at loose forward rotating with Milner. A great all rounder which always helps as well.
It seemed to go wrong for Pat after the 1895 defeat to Featherstone. He rarely got picked after that game & was allowed out on loan. Maybe he was a scapegoat for that heavy defeat, being one of the senior players in an under-strength team.

I didn't think Bailey kicked on in '25 after an excellent year in '24 when he was Supporters Player of the Year. The step up from League One to the Champ is probably why. Good luck to the lad.

This can't work. The club in the middle of this list (which happens to be Hunslet) will be in for a very busy year! They'll be playing the 5 teams above them & all 10 below them (home and away!!

Was a special night that..I know we could have said the same at this point last year,but can't see us anywhere near that
next year(unless Forster tears you apart..
)..
Is there any guarentees on who we play twice next year ?
No not yet I don't think, but rumours are we'll all play clubs twice who were around us in the table last year.

Jack Sinfield joins Trinity.. making 2 Oldham halves along with Ollie Russell at Wakefield. They have talented sick note Jake Trueman and Mason Lino as well..
Rodrick Tai released by Warrington and waste of space Pangai Jr renages on hid Wire deal. Wests Tigers or the circus that is R360?
Halifax adding names daily but Nofoaluma not yet one of them with the suggestion he has asked to double his wages.
Fax losing most of their best players it seems, Woodburn-Hall, Gee, Jouffret, Tangata all gone with Nofoluama & Douglas rumoured to be leaving too.

I think the bolded no money sums it up. Without that we are where we are and its hard to have ambition and star players without it. I can't see myself going to many games this season, the games against this years League 1 teams really don't inspire me and other than Fev, without the games against Bradford and York there won't be many to look forward to.
Oldham home and away - we'll be better in '26 than we showed in the play-off game

Both Jumah (who is not confirmed yet) and Thornley are recovering from serious injury. At present we have 3 centres and one wing officially signed so very much in need of reinforcement in the back line.
Do you know if Sambou is definitely coming back as your comment suggests you do?

Why's Fordy calling .....??

Was released by Oldham, hardly played, if at all, since May. But you'll make your own minds up in '26.

Tom Whitehead as well.. I thought he had signed for KR but he would he a great retention IMO if it was possible.
I'm sure I read that Whitehead had been released by Warrington.

Lewis Baxter is still there too!
I'm guessing , but I think Baxter & Lannon might be offered new deals now we're staying in the Championship.

This splendid article was written by Roger Halstead, former RL writer in the Oldham Evening Chronicle, about his memories of GB/England battles against the Aussies.

Murph would have tackled him, pinched the ball & raced away to score at the other end

1967 the last time we played the kangaroos...a midweek game in lat October or early November. Game played in a snowstorm and temperatures most of the aussies had never experienced. Didnt stop them rolling us over something lilke 27-2. I remember the '2'!
Dont recall us getting anywhere near their line.
But to see the cream of australian rugby league playing at the athletic grounds was worth the snow and the cold.
Are you the George Watt who signed for Hull?

Fordy said he didn’t speak for two days after. Bill said there would be a big review. I guess both of those sum up the directors feelings.
And if he had a cat, he'd have kicked it !!
