I'm guessing Cian Tyrer has been given a contract now? 

[shaw llewellyn]

Workington site has fans suggesting they now comfortably have the best halfback partnership in the league. Time will tell.

[Happyed]

Rawsthorne is a big loss. We have options on that wing but there’s a chance now for someone to make that shirt their own. I’m not convinced by Johnson. Anyone know when Sambou is back?

I think Johnson is primarily a centre or full-back. He's a good player, though not quick enough for wing in my opinion.

[tandle]

this is not a moan but i think oldham made a mistake in not resigning  

ah van top try scorer last year, scored two tries on sunday for north wales

against widnes.

I can't remember, but what happened to him?

Might be wrong but I think he’s recovering from an acl since we signed him 

[jroyales]

Has Whittle left the club? If so he's a massive loss.

Not that I’m aware. Why do you think that?

[sheddingswasus]

Rumours as always I suppose.

Statement: Emmerson Whittel

Quote

Oldham Rugby League today confirmed the immediate release and deregistration by mutual consent of Emmerson Whittel.

Emmerson was in the second year of a two year contract and he leaves the club at the start of its League One campaign.

Shame about Whittel. Was one of the unsung hero's of 2019 promotion winning seasons and then was one of the only shining lights of the 22 an 23 seasons. Think he could have forced his way into the team over the course of the season.

[Logic]

Disappointed to see the news of the departure of Emmerson Whittel, a player who had certainly proved his worth with his service to our club, both prior to and following his spell in Australia. He was a strong player with a first class work rate and an aggressive edge, that made him both a valuable and valued player.

With his experience and age, no doubt it won't be long before he joins another club, possibly one in Championship. Now, that would be ironic. Good luck to him.

No surprise there. He'll (along with the rest of the ex-Roughyeds) have a point he wants to prove next weekend. It's going to be a spicy one!

This is interesting- seems to benefit us more than the ‘senior’ partner.

Welcome to Rochdale, Emmerson. A career enhancing move!

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Shame about Emerson. He was a hundred percenter, no doubt. But, sometimes someone else's 80 % is better. Tbh it was almost definite he was going to the butterflies, I would've put a clause in his release that he couldn't play against us. As I've said previously,  the ex players should've proved a point last year.

See Cian Tyrer has gone to Worky on loan. I'd have him further up the pecking order than Johnson

I agree he looks a good player hopefully a couple of good games at Workington will push his claims for a start for us

[shrewsbury roughyed]

It’s quite strange to be in a position where we can loan good players out rather than being desperate to get them from elsewhere- though Tyler Dupree can come back, if he wants.

Doubt it, he's at Wigan isn't he? Though I thought I'd recalled we were DR with Wigan and now Salford..
