The Club would like to provide the following squad update:

- Brad Clavering – Suffering an ankle injury against Featherstone (H), Clavering currently is a doubt, however remains in strong contention for Oldham after initial assessments.

Refusal to play:
We are disappointed to announce that Lachy Hanneghan has informed us that he no longer wishes to train with, or play for, the Club. We have been in regular contact with Lachy and met with him and his agent last Friday, outlining his importance to the team and making it clear that we expect him to honour his contract. Unfortunately, Lachy has said he will not change his mind, though we do remain open to discussion for that to happen. We have already had significant interest from several Clubs, but we have made it clear that he will not be allowed to go out on loan. However, should any Club make an offer that is deemed acceptable to us in terms of a permanent transfer, then we would give that due consideration. In the meantime Lachy remains in breach of contract.
That’s disappointing. I hope we get a good fee for Lachy. We don’t want to be taken advantage of. So over half the squad is injured / suspended. Does the mean we have rely on loan players, if we can get them. The performance of team in the last few games has been awful. We all deserve better. #swsa
If he doesn’t want to play for the club let him sit in the dugout week after week then if a club comes in for him he won’t be fit and bye-bye to him if the club paid for him to come over make him pay it back
