The economic equivalent of modern day Turkey compared to the Byzantine empire?????

Or were you thinking something more rugby related????

Aaah, tbh the fourth crusade which ,it could be argued, was the reason that Constantinople is now Istanbul.  Had the crusaders not stopped off to sack said city then maybe the ottoman empire may not have come to fruition, and hence modern day turkey. But maybe the butterfly effect meant that the greatest game would not have existed!!!? 

Owts better than nowt!

Really enjoyed yet another podcast with an Oldham rugby league legend. Just one thing though, when Barrie said a group of northerners got together and had an argument, the host piped up with "in Huddersfield at the George". Barrie or Mark should have retorted with "organised by Oldhamer Joseph platt who run the northern union from Oldham for 35 years". I noticed Fordy in his podcast mentioned Joseph Platt. The more we bang on about it the more people will realise Oldham is just as important, if not more so, than Huddersfield.

Has there been any news about when the Workington game is to be played?

Just posted on website having to find alternative venue as vestacare unavailable midweek

Can't be BP for two reasons. 1: latics have to be the first team to christen the new pitch. 2: our first game has to pre planned and a biggy, IE first game of next season. Have it now and it will subdue the first game next season.

Nice to hear from you CC. Rumour had it you had gone over to the dark side.

Get well soon 

Does Connor Carr finish with us at the end of this season? And how many of the present team are contracted to the Yeds next season?

If Huddersfield don't want him then I hope we sign him. He is an outstanding player. I think most of this years squad would be on one year contracts as that is how the club run in the past. The players signed by the new board are with us until at least the endof next season

Just read back through the 2023 squad thread and all the players seem to have signed one year contracts

Emmerson Whittel on a 2 year contract. 

Thank you, I missed that, is Lewis Sheridan on two years as well?

Contracts will surely depend upon which division you are in next year.

Did Doncaster break any rules bringing those super league players in after the signing in deadline? Let's be honest if they did then any side could do the same in the future.

RL at this level is a farce. With dual reg, loan players etc. Gone are the days of knowing who all your players are. This along with short term contracts, does not allow youngsters to tag someone as their favourite player, as they are usually gone the season after.

I notice the Australians have read posted position numbers on shorts. Numbered 1 to 17. It is really time we dropped squad numbers.

I learned  the game by my dad telling me to watch a certain position. So he would say watch the number 6 today, he is the stand off half, see what he does and then we would discuss it on the way home.

Agree. Speaking of which, I posted on another thread to ask about the Awards Night winners, but no response. So, does anyone know who they were, or is it a secret amongst those who were there, on the night?  

You’d imagine there’ll be an article on the club website uploaded soon.

I would imagine now the event is out of the way the club will continue with their squad announcements when they can. A lot of players are out of contact on 30th September. I notice clubs generally at lower levels  are only announcing retained players. The London Scholars situation with perhaps change the thinking a touch ( not if Oldham) given no one knows what is happening next season.
