Squad for 2023.

[jroyales]

Has anybody heard anything about who might be with us next season?

[Happyed]

I’ve heard nothing but we could do with some good news!

[moorside roughyed]

I'd be surprised if Restall was still with Oldham next season.

[Joe 90]

Your number 13  (Whittel ?) was immense today and should be the first signature for next season. 

 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Whittel has been amazing all season. Does the dirty coal face work regardless of injury and personal safety. He’d be the first name on my team sheet. A warrior.

[sheddingswasus]

Liked him in both his spells at Oldham 

[clifford]

Me thinks that the squad size will depend on the announcement from IMG or whatever they are called. I listened to Ralph Rimmer on the radio and he says his leaving is nothing at all to do with the changes that are coming to the English rugby league

There's a thread on the main forum stating that there might be a possible vote by clubs on the 28th Sept on what IMG have suggested on structure. Rumour is it's SL1 of 10 teams, SL2 of 10 teams (all 20 clubs licensed, promotion & relegation between the two SL divisions but not automatically to the league below, presumably the remaining clubs in a single division where you have to apply for a license / franchise to be admitted to SL.

[jroyales]

If what you are saying is true RR, it will mean Warrington and Toulouse will drop into SL2, to be joined with Leigh, Featherstone, Halifax, Barrow, Batley, York, Widnes and Sheffield.

Division 3 (if that is what it could be called and again 10 sides) will consist of Keighly, Swinton, Crusaders, Doncaster, Bradford, Whitehaven, London Broncos, Newcastle, Dewsbury, Workington.

Oldham, Rochdale and Hunslet  with the rest of League 1 won't be part of the new set up unless they create a fourth division!

Cause for concern if that is being mooted.

[moorside roughyed]

Well. That's us knackered then init.

They may go to one larger division below SL. Also, not sure if this comes in straight away or the season after next.

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Apparently, next season as now. Any changes to be in 2024. Of course this is the RFL we're talking about. Never was as good since it moved from Queen St, Oldham.

There will be lots of teams going for it next season if that's the case. Urgent investment needed ASAP and moving forward we aren't going to get a license if we are not playing at somewhere like BP. I hope the positive sounds coming from Latics come to fruition.

We can live in hope.

 Until everything's official we can't read too much into it. Surely the club must put any developments on its website.

[moorside roughyed]

I thought someone would get a giggle with that one.

I think he will play elsewhere, closer to home.

Not a clue where he's from but he won't be at Oldham,well I wouldn't have thought so. If he does go elsewhere good luck to him. He's a cracking player with a potentially bright future.
