Logic Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The squad for 2022 is building very nicely and with the fixtures out this afternoon, all we await is confirmation of where we are playing. Then the season will be soon be upon us and winter will behind us. Happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Â 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm treating the forth coming season as a reset. A new beginning. I want the new team and coach to gel, work together and play for the shirt. As long as we win more than we lose, with entertaining attacking rugby. Oh and we have to beat Rochdale in the law cup. And hopefully beat the Oldham relegation squad from Heywood rd. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleboroRoughyed Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 We have to be realistic for next season with the squad we’re assembling - if we make the play offs then that would be a success 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't 'take' your old coach. You didn't want him. You threw him out. He was sacked last July. Oh, well. That's your loss (as they say). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmigoTopping Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Swinton are in a lot better finanical position than ourselves which will explain the reason why they are poaching our better players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_r Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Players and coaches, in my opinion it has always been a case of the relationship being more important that the actual tactics, clearly Ridyard has joined Oldham because Littler is now your coach and I am sure it will work out well. I don't think any of us can say why players from Oldham have decided to join Swinton it maybe contract money it maybe other factors but all I can say is lets hope our respective teams do well and both make an immediate return to the championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widnes , barrow and ,yes, Waterhead have taken our best players. Not Swinton. However, the team we are now assembling will compete.

Yep, can't disagree with that statement. Trouble is, you've now gone and 'upset' that lot at t'other end of the A627(M). And as we well know, it doesn't take much to 'upset' them !  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I see that 5 of your ex-players have joined Waterhead: Phil Joy, Gareth Owen and Danny Bridge, plus to coaching, Callum Cameron and Brad Jinks. Keep your eyes on the cup draw for the second roundtaking place in Feb. Former Hornet Dale Bloomfield has signed for Thatto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveButt Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Always great to have the craic with you lot. Unfortunately doubt as I will see you for a while as we have moved down to Cornwall now. May just try and make it up for our battle though. Enjoy your season pal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
