  1. Yes I think Wilkinson came into his own when he was first choice hooker - previously the strategy was to interchange hookers during the match - not a fan of this approach - if a player is playing well keep him on the field - old fashioned I know - so getting 20 or so minutes in a game didn't suit him - I think he will do well at Oldham

    Next Season

    Yes its all quite worrying - not only do we need to find replacements but they have then to dovetail into the system at Swinton - I foolishly thought that as we had retained the players when we were relegated they would have stayed once we got promotion. As Graham says it will be a challenge to stay up..............thanks for the best wishes - same to Dewsbury for next season.

    Next Season

    Really, Lewis Hatton is leaving - that's a great shame. Would be happy to have Gavin Bennion back - not that making me happy counts for anything We will just have to see what unfolds in the coming few months......

    Great win

    Its hard to say - will need to add to the squad as some of the players are at the end of their careers I think. There is such a big deficit in funding between the top half and bottom half of the Championship............don't expect any re-org by the RFL will do anything those clubs outside Super League. If they they can pick up a few wins early in the season then they are in with a good chance - Keighley seem to be splashing the cash.- always had a soft spot for Keighley.

    Great win

    yes would be great to see both Rochdale and Oldham promoted next season and of course for us to stay up
  6. Nothing will change - I don't know why all the clubs voted for a seeded Challenge Cup - which simply means the final is always contested by super league teams - of course clubs outside super league get to play three or four games (with what ever the winning money is per game) but can never make the final. All clubs in the draw at once would mean there was a chance of of a club outside super league getting there - but the RFL doesn't want a final contested by two clubs outside super league.
  7. Never liked the man - can't say he has done anything on note or benefit while in post other than pocket his salary - an absolute disgrace.

    Great win

    We need to do the same on Sunday - I am sure Doncaster will be up for the match - should be a great match for the neutrals and nail bitter for us and the Doncaster fans. Hope there is a good crowd to cheer the team on. I think it will be very tight and not a high scoring affair............

    I could not go today I was worried before the match as we had injury and Doncaster are in good form - as you say a great result. So its Doncaster or Rochdale in the final - can't wait.
  10. I agree with Riggy - the loss of your hooker was a big blow to Oldham as he was very lively - the score did flatter Swinton - all the best for next week's game against Hunslet - they are a well organized team but can leak tries.
  11. It was disallowed for a forward pass - but the Keighley try at the stroke of half timed looked to everyone as a forward pass but the ref did not see it that way For a neutral it was tremendous game of rugby league - tough but no foul play - and Keighley won it by hair's breadth I think Roby and Else's tries were the best I have seen all season...............and still don't know why Roby was sub'd at half time I agree what is important is keeping the current form that the whole squad is showing for the remaining games so we can go into the play offs with confidence.
  12. Apart from two refereeing decisions that didn't go our way and a couple of missed difficult conversions we would have won that match. It was a super performance from the team with everyone playing really well and if this form can be maintained we should be in great shape for the play offs. Talking to some Keighley fans they said not having Roby on at the start of the second half was a key factor in their win - and I agree, don't know why Roby was substituted and when he was brought back on with ten or so minutes to go, we threatened Keighley's line and with that little bit of luck could have snatched the win. Roby was potent attacking player - so why he should be substituted I guess we will never know
  13. Hi Joe, I am sure there will be a re-match in the play offs and that will be the only one that will matter
  14. A great result today the team did not put a foot wrong in the first half and there were no unnecessary substitutions and unlike the Doncaster match the subs came off the bench and played well. Rochdale's indiscipline was their undoing but never the less the team played really well and had the match won by half time. All bodes well for the Keighley match next week - hope the team can maintain the this level of performance Would be great to beat Keighley next week.
  15. A shocking decision - would have filled the stadium
