OL14.yeds Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Morning Dewsbury folk. League Express are linking Martyn Reilly with a move to Oldham. Anything you can tell us about Martyn? Good move for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I hear that you may be getting Luke Nelmes back as well. That should beef up your pack a bit.

Would be interesting to have it evaluated To see how successful it was It was great PR with the local community and I'd be interested how many bums on seats it did. Can't take anything away from the lads that put their heart and souls into it without them it wouldn't have worked and I thank them for their tireless efforts And good luck too them if they do end up at Oldham.

Blind side johnny Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 There is no connection at all between the Rampage club and these players moving to Oldham. Matt Diskin is an excellent judge of players as we all know and has targetted them. Good luck to them both.

Nothing to do with Oldham offering more money seems strange that only 2 players out of the squad couldn’t agree a new contract. Anyway we move on,good luck to Martyn & Luke.

Doesn't sound a very plausible story about LG wanting them to reduce their contract payments and then changing his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current climate I’d expect many many players, not just at Dewsbury, will be asked to take up reduced contracts. I’d be surprised if they weren’t.

You are probably old enough to remember the last coach that we had who did that resulting in the club almost folding. The post by "Ben White" is clearly an attempt to stir up trouble, I know not why.

Well his comments never fail to grab your attention. I have said it before, why not do what we all do at the Mount, and socially distance from him. We have been doing that with him before covid19 was ever heard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, if LG said he wouldn't lose any sleep over them leaving why would he change his mind when they said they were leaving? Secondly if it was that easy to not take a pay cut, all the players would find out and do it. Thirdly, does LG rate both Reilly and Nelmes exactly the same?

You are quite right, of course he doesn't, no two players are the same. Consider my highly speculative conjecture that resigning Tom Garratt costs less than either of these players are being offered by Oldham and we can come to our own conclusions. As PM always said, Matt Diskin is a coaching genius. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Crown Flatter Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Whatever the reasons behind their departure, I wish the two players well. Both Reilly and Nelmes had featured in most of the games we played this year, so hope those stepping into their shoes can match their regularity in the future. Legs, Dews, Legs.

Rambo Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I was a bit sceptical when we signed both Reilly and Nelmes but they both proved to be more than capable championship forwards.. Having watched the highlights of the game against Widnes, Nelmes in particular was superb against the more illustrious and Championship hardened Widnes forwards. Watching the video he made the big yards down the middle which lead to our points. Reilly was just coming into his own when the Covid took hold. His hardwork doing the Rampage club whilst coming back from a long injury was excellent. I hope this continues when the Covid thing get’s wrapped up. I’m disappointed both players are leaving but hope they both go on to have successful careers once the game starts again. I’m sure they will really toughen up the Oldham pack and make them a more difficult opponent In the division once it resumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
