BRIAN HENARE
 Brian signed for the Roughyeds at the start of the season from St Helens, after coming to ORLFC on loan towards the end of last season. He has become one of the best forwards in the NFP and always gives 100%. He has become a firm favourite with Roughyed supporters and rarely has a bad game.

JOE McNICHOLAS
Joe has now firmy established himself as one of the sides top wingers and has had one of his best seasons since signing for the club. He is a speedy player who has scored several valuable tries for Oldham this season and the defensive side his game as improved considerably as well.

LEE DORAN
Lee is now one of the first names on Oldham's team sheet, he's still young for a prop, but has just got better and better this season ! Another big lad who loves to power forward and score tries. Lee's attracted a lot of interest this season and the coaching staff at St Helens were very impressed with him in Oldham's Challenge Cup match against Saints. The Roughyeds are going to struggle to hang on to him next season, but let's hope we see a lot more of this young exciting prop-forward.

JOHN HOUGH
"Scruffy" has had another fantastic season for the Roughyeds, he's another player who just gets on with the job ! John's been forced to battle with Keith Brennan for the hookers position for most of this season and has even played as an emergency loose forward on several occassions because of Oldham's injury crisis. He never complains and always gives his all, again now an ORLFC legend and hopefully he can continue playing at this level for a few more years to come.

JASON CLEGG
What more can you say about "Cleggy" ? He's a massive prop, who takes some stopping when he powers forward. At Craven Park in the play-off's it took five Hull KR players to stop him ! Off the field he's one of the quitest easiest going blokes that you'll ever meet, but come match day he changes into a determined and aggressive player. Cleggy is another favourite with the fans and a player you can rely on to give his all, week in week out ! If rumours are to be believed this could be Jason's last season in the famous red & white and shirt and if he does decide to leave the Roughyeds he'll surely be remembered as one of Oldham's all time greats !

STEVE MOLLOY
ORLFC's new player-manager. Steve was thrown in at the deep end when John Harbin decided to jump ship and has done a magnificent job. He is still a key player and his enthusiasm and committment are very much part of the new Oldham.
