Ha!  Tonight's tweeted news also had the same hashtag. 

The hashtag sort of belongs to Old Leamingtonians RFC in Leamington Spa.  They must be loving all the attention.

Incidentally, Mrs N and I have very good mates in Leamington; we spent a lovely weekend there this summer.

Why have we not signed Moi Moi after the strong rumours he was one of our first signings ? I think he would be ther perfect signing with mick ward 

[jroyales]

Ward has resigned for Batley and Moi Moi has disappeared!

[clifford]

@ManchesterYed as much I admire your wish that wardy was in an oldham shirt in 2023. Its not going to happen he has resigned at Batley and thats that. 

Foi foi may just be a non starter remember never believe rumours especially in rugby league

FFM is 42 and half…….think its time for him to move on to the next stage of his career….having played at Hornets for the last two years he obviously doesnt need ‘the money’

I agree about Moi moi. Hes been great but maybe a season too far.

If we were ever going to throw money at a Rochdale prop should have gone for Killan. 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Off the subject but nice to hear that our ex Tyler Dupree has been given an extended contract by Salford, until the end of 2025. Doing well. 

[jroyales]

Since dual registration is the way of the world in our division, who are we dualled with?

Personally I think moi moi could still do a job. But either way we need two experience impact prop forwards to compete at the top end of this level 

[jroyales]

But will it happen? Nothing seems to be coming from the club.

Without at least two more props we will be in no man's land with the reorganisation of the game.

Got to remember we are two forwards down already with Whittel and Cameron out suspended, and Hamilton is, I heard, out for the season due to an injury sustained in training. So, we are down to 22 players. Not good.

That's good news - anything on the forward situation?
