WTF?

I’m sure there are valid reasons for this (especially as the article quotes AC saying they’re trying to get someone in for this season and next?) but if he’s off to another club for a better offer like Lannon it does not reflect well on the player.

We got him through all last season and his recovery from injury and now he’s off? Hoping to hear more detail about this as he’s a first choice prop (although hasn’t set the world alight this season - like a lot of the others). We also let Brett go out on loan too? 

What’s going on…?

Don’t think Coleman rates Bailey or thinks he’s still too young . A few weeks ago we were struggling to name 18 players and he was 18th man.

Hopefully he will get a chance next season.

I think the club has instigated this one,not the player.Reilly is of better character than that, he wouldnt throw in the towel mid season like Lannon.

Again the May time to approach players strikes again - the most ridiculous rule around - not even halfway through the season

if we have the wire lad on for rest of season, good move

lawton - obviously Oldham want to move him on, if his mindset is right could be good for us 

hopefully patten back soon as we need some creativity in the halves, even if it is only by his kicks

we got other players through rehab after injury, stuck with them and they buggered off - the dud for a start
