Gisburn Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just seen that Danny Bridge faces a grade F charge for assaulting the referee during the Keighley game. I saw the ref go flying when Harry Aaronson made a break in the second half but as a Keighley fan I thought one of your lads had bumped into him, nothing more. I hope he doesn't get anything worse than Chris Houston got for flooring Phil Bentham earlier this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the ref deserves all he gets for being in the way? or Bridge deserves all he gets? In which case what did he do that was so wrong.

thecrab Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 And to make matters worse our latest DR arrangement with Leigh is about to go right down the pan. They're offloading players left right and centre to cut their losses because they can't make the 8s so we've no chance of getting any players from them on DR.

roughyed34 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It's a shocker. Indefensible. Don't hang the lad out to dry though,he has been quality for us all season. Massive brain fart to do that, I can't defend the incident but he isn't normally like that. Seems out of character. Lost a great player to this and I'm sure he is gutted as well, he will serve his time and then hopefully resume his career. He hasn't killed anyone.

clifford Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 In years gone by he would have been sine die. When Houston took out the ref a witness (twice) I thought that the second could have broken his back and was in par with the bridge tackle. The difference between the two. One is super league and one is championship 1. One has legal counsel and bridge would have gone on his own? For me it's 6-8 match ban which would have meant the his season was over. I wonder if we will see him again in an Oldham shirt In 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampagneCharlieReturns Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I would sign him up for next season in a heartbeat, been consistent all season and a huge threat on the edges. C'mon Oldham stand by him and sign him up for 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the deadline for loan signings that is this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening already, they'll be down to the bare bones by the weekend, easy pickings for the SL clubs trying to fend off Toronto and Toulouse in the 8s.

YoungYed Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Got to sign bridge for next season been class all season. I can’t see us having Cunningham to be honest looks like it will be either Owen, Wilko or Hughes playing together. But don’t worry we’ve got hewitt and crook leading us all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
