glemiln Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Rangi Chase signs for 2022… and let’s hope he has better fortune than last season and help pass on his expertise to our younger players along with Matt Calland. Well done to all involved. https://t.co/vab0WCAnqZ Trust it was a successful meeting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 More should unfold with the announcement that Matt Calland has decided to continue as coach for 2022. hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/article/953/matt-calland-signs-new-deal-for-2022… #ThisisRochdale We have lost Josh Jordan-Roberts to Alan Kilshaw’s Hunslet, who appear to placing emphasis on ‘local’ talent too. Yet, the info. https://www.hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk/our-club/vacancies augurs well for Hornets. The next few months will be crucial given the large revenue reduction by the RFL to League 1 clubs for 2022 season. For which future rugby league structure they will be playing is another matter! Currently, 2x10 SL1 and SL2 leagues seems possible, but it’s the other 16 (for now). At least next season we can renew battle with our ‘neighbours’ Oldham and Swinton.

Excolt 1 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I would really like Callum Marriot and Gavin Bennion signed on along with a good half dozen of last season’s side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Signings seem thin on the ground compared to some of our rivals. Are any of last year's squad on a two year contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glemiln Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 The club is also getting some positive vibes for the future on the main forum: “Clubs on the up”. Onwards and upwards Hornets - continue the building blocks and the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornit4ever Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 There appears to be a slow response regarding the squad that has been signed for next season which is a bit strange considering that the club is already selling season tickets and are looking for player sponsorship etc. I feel that once the supporters know the the full squad they will respond much quicker with buying tickets and sponsorship etc. RUGBY LEAGUE WITHOUT ROCHDALE HORNETS IS LIKE AN UNSHARPENED PENCIL, THERES NO POINT?

Pedro Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think Excolt is referring to New Zealander Dean Lonergan who played for Hornets in 1989. He played a massive part in the 1989 Boxing Day match against Oldham which Hornets won 24-12 in front of 8150 spectators. Not a bad crowd for a second division match but both clubs were pushing for promotion. I remember being there. The Hornets team included some great players. According to a report I found the teams were HORNETS: Chris Myler; John Higgins, Mark Lord, Mark Nixon, Karl Marriott; John Woods, Andy Sullivan; Paul Gamble, Martin Hall, Neil Cowie, Dean Lonergan, Tony Humphries, Paul McDermott. Subs: Steve Turner, Bob Marsden. OLDHAM: Gary Hyde; Charlie McAlister, Des Foy, Richard Irving, Paul Lord; Brett Clark, Mike Ford; John Fairbank, Richard Russell, John Fieldhouse, Keith Newton, Trevor Croston, John Cogger. Subs: Kevin Meadows, Keith Atkinson Lonergan, Woods, Gamble and McDermott scored tries for Hornets with Turner landing three goals and Woods one. Wingers Lord and McAlister crossed for Oldham while McAlister also kicked two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ornit4ever Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 We seem to draw the short straw for bank holiday away fixtures………..NW Crusaders at August bank holiday this year and Cornwall on May Day bank holiday next year……and a seven hour journey perhaps RUGBY LEAGUE WITHOUT ROCHDALE HORNETS IS LIKE AN UNSHARPENED PENCIL, THERES NO POINT?

Excolt 1 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I would like to see Penky do one more season but the biggest miss is Callum Marriot . I hope they can convince him to sign and he’s not to busted. Fui probably to expensive Galbraith I think has retired. The other Rochdale lads seem to have career finishing injuries. Surprisingly Oldham are 7-2 favourites to win league, we are fourth favourites at 5-1 . I thought Swinton would be our biggest rivals but what do I know I backed us to win it last season and we didn’t even make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Oldham fan I expect Swinton to finish top with Keighley close behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
