I thought he was one of a number of high profile signings for Oldham who seem to be spending a lot of money for next season considering they have not been promoted yet.

Particularly after Sunday's result...

Keep:
JWH
Pickersgill
Zack
Jake
Lachlan
Salty
Crooks
Sutcliffe
Louie
Keyes
Inman
AOB
Kav
Gee
Calcott
Fairbank
Lannon

17 man squad

Move on:
Tibbs - not been the same since the back injury
Moore - his distribution is slowest out of the three hookers
Murray - lost his spark
Tangata - penalty machine
Larroyer - penalty machine
Oakley - not got anywhere the team in three years
Forster - difficult to say as I’ve not seen him play
Fleming - big bopper but can be dominated easily
Maher - no comment
Kyle Wood - retiring

Joining:
Douglas

That’s a lot of forwards to try and replace with so few about. So I expect a lot of them will actually end up staying.

I think we should keep larroyer and tangata and see if we can break the Guinness book of records for the most penalties conceded in a game .

Almost totally agree with that. I would keep Murray as he has proved what he can do at this level, maybe a change of coach will have him back to his best. Jacob would be somewhat fortunate to stay given the amount of time he has missed, not all his fault though. It would be good to get another decent season out of him and perhaps making him captain could boost him unlike Brandon where I thought the armband hindered him.

I would have Jacob as the club captain too. I’m sure Moore will stay but I’d take the captaincy off him and let him concentrate on rugby only in his potential last year with us.

I would love to see the break down of penalties v players for this year. Handling errors would also be a very high stat

Yeah that would be interesting to read. I wonder if faxcar would be willing to share that data or at least give us an idea?

Re: Should They Stay Or Should They Go : Tue Sep 05, 2023 12:07 pm  

Yep, Tangata's last minute penalty (the most ridiculous I have ever seen) which cost us a point at Bradford might ultimately cost us a top 6 spot.

And despite that he was able to keep his place in the team the following week when players have been dropped for less.
