Oldham : Thu Jul 31, 2014 10:52 am  

Looking forward to Sunday. After getting so close in the first home meeting and after breaking our Enfield duck, it would be nice to see us finally get one over them. I remain unconvinced by Oldham when I see them but they did guts out another good win at the weekend over Hunslet.

If the forwards play like last week and the backs can understand each other a little more we will have a chance.

Good win for Oldham against Hunslet. They need to beat us to challange for top spot or easier play off route.

It's not going to be easy but we do have the players to compete.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BuI264ICAAEM1Ol.jpg we didn't get a penalty! the 3 was talked to by the ref three times. not even 10 in the bin. Poor ref and linesmen again. like in Cardiff. disallowed try by courtney davies was an absolute joke.

Great pic. Says it all really.
ThAt 3 should have gone for 10 earlier after his second high shot.
Referee reffing to the higher team as always.
But... We seem to lose concentration and allow teams to score at crucial times.
Courtney's dissallowed effort was right Infront of me, he re gathered and grounded it.(sounds familiar)
Lovell was outstanding.
Can't understand why Martin Smith isn't at hooker with Bishay in the halfs!?

Re: Oldham : Mon Aug 04, 2014 5:25 pm  

We definately loose concentration. First 15 mins were bad. No structure and couldn't defend. Next 24 mins were excellent. Last minute and we go to sleep and concede. Second half quick try for them at the start and we never really got going again . Shame as we have the players....

Any idea why smith had such a small contribution time wise?
Also cox was held off until the last 30.
Think those two guys have been solid this season.

Not sure about smith but cox got concussion last week and only pasted the cog test on Wednesday. Wee man is my player of the season. Great scrum half.

Ah yes remember now. Cox had concussion. Still he's doing well, playing out of position. Quick lad for a prop.
Wee man for sure is an absolute threat everytime he has the ball in his hand. Just need a couple of centres!

I thought the Davis try was a try, but that is the sort of decision which always goes for the "big" team. Same as they always seem to get the benefit of the doubt on stripping/knock on decisions.

As to the match first 15 woeful, next 25 superb. Second half strangely flat. Iliess' try was the highlight of the match for me.
