Having only missed a few games in two years I can give you an honest assessment of all 4 players   Aaron brown you will be getting a small but very skilful loose forward if your playing an o

So you're suggesting that the new owners should have stuck with last season's squad with a minimal amount of tweaking? No-one can argue with your point that doing so would have saved them a shed load

One thing about Astley is that he's never going to let us down.

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!

Have the club released a definitive list of who was already signed from last year?  Or will they be released as part of the 'media' push?

Why did Newcastle let him go ? 

Assume he was out of contract. It's pretty well publicised that Newcastle moved to part-time this season and apparently the owner is pulling his cash out. Perhaps there may be one or two more from there coming.

I thought he only signed to the end of this year initially

Just looked back. It does say until the end  of 2023. But he wasn’t on the released list so you would imagine he is being retained

Brad's contract expired and he was on a full time deal. No doubt we would've liked to keep him but as a club we have to become more sustainable.

You have a good one with Brad and he will go well for you guys.

Really hope so - his driving out of the ball and finishing was excellent last season.

The released list was confirmation of the players that Oldham were not in contract negotiations. Those not on the list are players that the club wish to explore the opportunity to retain but will also be subject to offers by other clubs.

It’s interesting that the players the club are bringing in are on 2 year deals, which provides stability beyond next season however, if the players don’t perform as expected will require some form of pay off to release from the 2nd year of their contracts. A bit of a risk particularly without a coach being in place.

Another announcement today. Why aren't the players from last season, who are staying, on your squad sheet?

Because officially only 9 players have been announced.

I guess Fordy and the board have confidence in them that they will perform. These are, in the main, tried and trusted pros who have shown what they are made of many times previously. Plus offering 2 year deals is more of an incentive to join us rather than sign elsewhere I guess.

Great signing, I said that when he originally signed and then one or two called him after a couple of early errors. He went on to be one of top players cart season. We are building a great back line. I suspect Nick may finish up in the centre this year but will be strong wherever he plays

What makes you think he'll end up in the centre?
