jroyales Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sad to read that the club have released Nelmes from his contract. He was the perfect replacement for Ward and we don't now have any impact forwards coming off the bench. It was interesting to read SN's reflection on the game at Whitehaven saying one of the main contributory factors we lost is because was "we were short of forward power!" Then they release Nelmes. Just what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 hi jr I don't think the club had any other choice but to release nelmes as he as been missing all season. I think I read on the forum that he had off the field problems. but think perhaps this week there will be further forward signings to replace him.

jroyales Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hope so. The game against Wales showed we lacked size and someone who could break tackle so setting Langtree free. Oldham worked extremely hard to stop their big forwards but they can't keep doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 spot on j r I have been saying this for seasons, when the big forwords in other teams get match fit after 6 or 7 games Oldham have always struggled to compete. this as gone on for season after season it as never been changed. to deliver this season the pack as to be strengthened now aug. 11th Newcastle at home and aug.18th Doncaster at home then the last match hunslet away things must change or failure again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Shame we couldn't keep Gregson who has now signed on elsewhere, he would have given us some much needed drive going forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
