Cummon Ornits At the risk of getting banned from the forum, I have to agree with the Hornet on this one . I still have cards to post and our decorations are still in the loft But nonetheless, I wish all at ORLFC, supporters and everyone on the forum (even the Hornet) a merry Christmas and a very happy and successful New Year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Chatting to an old rugby friend of mine we were obviously reminiscing about the good old days, and he mentioned the collection to buy Barry Kear from Castleford. At halftime six supporters carried an open sheet onto which other supporters threw their money. Could be wrong but from what I can remember he cost £6000 and the club sold him later for £9000! I still have the shares bought to support the club - to no avail it still went to the wall. I often think what Quinn is doing on his multi million pound stud farm in Ireland. The other half of B&Q, Oldham Rugby destroyers, still shows his face around the town. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd put this one here. It's the proposed new rules that are being trialled. Tackles below the armpit I fully understand, but the kick off taken ten metres further forward seems a bit strange. The idea being to reduce the impact of the players bringing the ball forward. Well, as someone on the main board said players are at full speed within 20 metres anyway. There is one thing, however, and that is a change of tactics. If you are kicking off ten metres further forward then it makes a short kick off more advantageous. Therefore changing the game significantly. Any thoughts? Edited April 23, 2023 by The Art of Hand and Foot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Is Jack Blagborough still with us? We will definitely need him when the two loan players go at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Good to hear he is still with us. I thought Moran was also on a month's loan - hopefully not. He has been a standout player in all of the games he has played in. I hope Kibula shows more in his remaining games than he did against Hunslet.

Kibula is a loan signing, initially for 5 games (2 of which are played and won). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 How long is Connor Carr on loan to us and where does he come from? I have never, in 60 years of watching our great game, seen a player smash players out of the way and run 80 yards with one boot. Hope he is here for the season and beyond. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on a season long Loan from Huddersfield. He was initially on a short term. But that was extended in Feb to all season.

jroyales Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Reading the Yed website, it looks like we will have two more players banned. Is it just us because I don't see it happening to other clubs. Like someone said on this site we seem to be being hammered by referees on the pitch and now by plonkers off the pitch as well.

You really don’t like officials do you. We’ve had 3 players banned this for various offences so Oldham aren’t unique. I think after last night’s game you could be looking at least one player being banned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
