Martin Reilly left with immediate effect.
We’ve got someone else lined up to replace him.Also heard we might be getting Lawton back on loan
This isn’t good. Reilly is a solid performer in an underpowered pack. We’ve had an awful lot of players in our recent history just pack up and go mid contract - it’s a really bad look for the club.
Luke Thomas in. DR
Brett Bailey out. Month loan
Paulie xx
Never good losing one of our few permanent players, but he’s done nothing this season.
Good choice by the club as long as a permanent replacement is coming in, Riley does absolutely nothing lazy slow and offers next to nothing. Hopefully Kirk’s next would like to see Lawton re-sign as he offers something different and adds size to the pack.
Luke Thomas in from Wire for the rest of the season as a ‘like for like’ replacement. Thomas apparently well thought of at Warrington but he missed the whole of 2024 with an ACL injury that’s stopped his progress.
@johng Lawton is big, but he’s also lazy, he used to play well for 10-20 minutes and then go missing.
He might be ball right on a short term loan, but I wouldn’t sign him permanently.
i haven’t seen enough of Reilly to comment but he has failed to impress most this season.
AC has never give me a reason not to believe what he’s saying but this opportunity we have to bring someone in for the rest of this year/next year better come off otherwise this looks silly
god don’t bring Lawton back 🤦🏻♂️
@johng I agree Reilly average at best and we do need some size and power Lawton resigning gives us that although I'd have him on bench obviously Oldham having to start offloading players

Now confirmed on the club site - a 2 week loan.
Depends on how AC handles Adam.
Maybe he has realised that the grass isn't always greener and is ready to give it more oomph!!!!!!!!
When your back is against the wall and you need someone to roll up their sleeves and do some tackling, Lawton is not your man.
I thought we had improved since he left, so thank god it's for two weeks.
After being injured all last year and we stood buy him, I thought Reilly might have honoured his contract.
I'm starting to think what's the point anymore.
Wow what a day - I thought Riley was ok but never ripped up trees
the young wire lad, yes good addition
adam - who knows depends on what mood he on, hopefully a good one as when he plays he is unstoppable
the team will now be 5 players different than 3 weeks back
onwards and upwards

I am with you on this one too. Reilly has done nothing much to be honest and plods it in. Lawton is so unpredictable and is more of an attacking threat and 10 meters out will score. We don't seem to score points and we have wanted some size. The Wire lad is more talented than Reilly and will offer more.
I wonder who this new permanent signing set to be announced is? Seem to be hinting it's a good one.
Lawton will be because Oldham have just signed Musgrove from Warrington, I wonder if he's just filling in until we sign this new player? One thing he offers is a try scoring threat near the line. I also think Lloyd needs a rest so could spell him in the back row. Not bothered about the 2 week thing as the loans always start off as 2 weeks.
Pleased about the Warrington lad, athletic and aggressive. 2 things we are lacking in the pack currently. Hopefully we get to keep him and he's not recalled but with Warringtons track record who knows!
