Athleticgrounds Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Heard today that McNally has signed for Oldham and Sheridan may go in the same direction. I would have thought a Championship club may have gone for both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glemiln Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Encouraging to read that we have recruited 20 talented players for next season as we “cut our cloth” to a reduced budget, seemingly with an emphasis on youth. 13 players leaving including Sheridan, Chase and Moimoi and the retirement of Calland. The full list is on the official site. Look forward to learning more of the new ‘lads’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athleticgrounds Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 You still require the experienced heads in any side. If I had to pick one player to stay for next season it would have been McNally, sadly it ain't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lad Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I can't help feeling a little troubled by the mass exodus of players, never a good sign. I think the fact that some may have been loyal to Calland along with the reduced budget may have made us a hard sell. I hope the people we bring in will be on the same level as a lot of those guys, although i don't think we will find another Rangi Chase. Nice to see Dan Nixon signing for next season, i thought he was a standout player for us this year especially in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the performances improved after the coaching change so the exodus more likely to do with budget cuts i suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryder just signed from Dewsbury on a 2 year deal. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Adam Ryder just signed from Dewsbury on a 2 year deal. Rangi was down at Hunslet's last home game to watch us.I heard we were close to signing him. Lets be honest Johnny Hunslet's not spent any money hardly this last 3 to 4 years and it showed on the pitch in our results, so they this year hopefully we are going for it especially when promotion matters even more now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe 90 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Squad Nixon, Killan, Purcell, Connolly, Swarbrick, Boardman, Berry, O’Hanlon, Roden, Straugheir. Duane Straugheir joins Hornets for 2023 (hornetsrugbyleague.co.uk) Rochdale Hornets is delighted to announce the signing of back-row forward Duane Straugheir, for the 2023 Betfred League 1 season. The 33-year-old brings with him a wealth of experience having represented Bradford Bulls, Featherstone Rovers, York City Knights, Sheffield Eagles and most recently Hunslet – where he was club captain. In his time representing the Yorkshire outfit, Straugheir was made skipper by then head coach Gary Thornton and now can’t wait to work under him again.

hunslet ramone Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 You got a great signing in Duane Straugheir and a nice person too. I thought he had retired from playing, that's what I heard as he has been so unlucky with injuries this year , but glad for him to keep going , wish it was still with playing for Hunslet, but it's our loss and your gain. Always gives 100 % effort just hope he can remain injury free for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Great news for Mayfield - his expertise should be immense and add not a few spectators wherever he plays. Surprising and good news too, that we have signed Dave Hewitt from the neighbours, who I guess will not be pleased! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Else is a good signing for you guys if you can keep him on the pitch, disappointing from our view that he didnt want to challenge himself at the higher level but will be a cracking player in Div 1 2 "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
