Going to be no pushovers. They’ve come a million miles and have given us some real tests over the last couple of seasons.

Absolutely brilliant that. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. However, whatever our feelings, perceptions, etc, for me it's time to move on now. A new era has begun, far more unexpectedly and excitingly than surely any of us could have dared expect. Dredging up stuff won't help - it's the future that counts from now on, Come on, you 'Yeds!

Consistent refereeing? Applied the rules to both sides? Good performance? Fans happy with her? Hope the rfl don’t hear that…she’ll be running the line next week if they do!!

‘Bit of a scrappy one today,’ says Bailey Aldridge on the club’s Roughyeds feed on Instagram. Incidentally, the social media presence of the Roughyeds is unbelievable. The club is working its backside off. Tremendous stuff.

We’re not going to steamroller and nil everybody. Key personnel changes make a difference. Good to get these boys who aren’t playing regularly into the swing of things. We don’t want to be found wanting and underdone against the top teams. With the knowledge and experience in our squad and coaching staff I reckon lesson learned from today and similar marches/results will be sharply pointed out and learned from. It will be interesting to see the result of Keighley v Crusaders. Cru could be the dark horses this year- as they were in fact last season. They could well take points off the supposed too teams.

Cast your minds back 18 months ago , or to any time over decades before that - anyone talking in such terms would have been laughed out of the room or be sent to have their medication checked! The movers and shakers behind all this are heroic. I can feel the excitement. I’d say they should run the country but no, let’s keep them for Oldham and give them every atom of support we can. Come on, you ‘Yeds!!!

Neither have Hunslet, unforunately for them...

Only conceding 16 points in 3 matches is unbelievable.

Ben O’Keeves?

I was telling my wife we’d be weakened out wide without Mo Agoro and Ben O’Keefe. Fortunately, she doesn’t listen to me much these days… Fantastic result, especially the nil. Anyone getting bored of Oldham battering teams yet? Me neither!!!

No, wrong again. I was making it up - it's Cian on loan at Workington. I really must try to stop talking rubbish, just for a change!

I'm sure I read that he's gone on loan somewhere - but I might be making that up.

Mo Agoro out as well as Ben O’Keefe, according to Longy’s interview on the Roughyeds’ excellent tv channel on YouTube.
