wonderofwood Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 how old is crowley what's his history? It won't be an easy game but I think the lads will be up for it. Josh Crowley is an ex Warrington Wolves academy captain who also captained England at under 18's. He joined Widnes at 19 and never got his chance then moved to Oldham. Him and Thompson are consistent performers and are easily good enough for this level , as is Chisolm who plays on the wing. ( ex leeds lad) who won that super league sprint race . They are a useful outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anok4u Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 5 games in and we're sacking the coach ffs lets sack the board as well while we're at it! This should be judged over a season not 5 games, Phil as not let us down yet so let's see what happens. What did people expect from the first 5 games really? With the players we've had out our position is about right, for me this season starts on Sunday...up the town go **** yasell ya little **** gain NL1 then take ya **** out ya dads **** then speak proper rugby talk. you jameating little spotty ****...itchy waa waa 2008...

Old standoff Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Ye, not saying we should get shot of him but ultimately the coach stands or falls by the performance of his team and he has to carry the can if its his fault or not just like he being praised as a possible coach of the. Year last back end was heaped on him. Be interesting to see what reaction is if we fail to rise to the occasion against Oldham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeandawayer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I couldn't say we've had many good coaches recently, the likes of Charlton and Turley did well but it wasn't pretty. Ashton and Walsh obviously and Gary Murdoch maybe. Rotherham rubbish, Stokes likewise but signed some excellent players, Tew, O'Reilly etc. I don't rate this fella but I think we've had a tough time so far without Sammutt and the matches I've seen the refs have done us no favours.

Just playing devils advocate, but would say jury is well and truly out on the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham fisher Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Don't get as bad as our fickle lot on about sacking the coach. Anyway back to the thread,don't underestimate Oldham they are a decent side. You need your forwards to get on top then let Sammut weave his magic.I'll go town by 8 good luck!!!

town4me Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 should we lose on sunday PV is going to be under real pressure however After seeing the London game at DP I think we can win this one but as folk are saying oldham are no mugs.

DavidM Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We have to remember that all this can be turned around and seen from the other side ... Oldham , Swinton and Haven , they are all gonna be looking at us and saying ' there's our chance to get going and pick up points ' . We are a big target to as we are very fragile and beatable . We MUST win this game , no ifs , no buts , no hard lucks , no good efforts ... End of story . But after that we have to pick up more wins from tougher games , and that's an even bigger challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
