“…in context one of the best performances I’ve ever seen by a rugby league team.”

I can’t get the link for some reason (my incompetence, basically), but check out Gameday RL on YouTube for a brilliant report/ highlights of today’s match. Fantastic comments about Oldham at the end. I’ll be watching this one more than a few times.

That would make sense. He has vast experience. He’s been an outstanding player and on field leader for us. Plus if Hull make way for London in Super League he’s got lots of Championship experience. (JOKING!!!!)

Please post this on the General Fans Forum/Championship Matchday feed - lots of people congratulating the team and saying it’s the result of the season.

Anita…your wish is our command. Well, just this once.

Wow! Knife through hot butter. Love it.

There were over 300 listening live online for much of the game. Roughyeds fans at work and living too far away or unable to get there, plus London (and other) fans who were impress with the commentary and production. That’s all good.

From listening to the (as ever) excellent commentary on Roughyeds TV that was an outstanding performance, unparalleled in the last few years in my thinking. London were pressured into making a lot of errors, plus some unforced, and we barely let our concentration drop for a second, from 1-17. Plus I think they’re not as hardened as they might be given the lack of competitive matches they’ve had all season (us and Widnes the only teams to get close as I recall). But the physical and mental effort from our boys was unbelievable. What a squad, and what a coaching team. Absolutely outstanding. Well done everyone concerned. Unforgettable.

Is the under 18s match v Widnes at Boundary Park before the London game? Can you watch it with the ordinary match ticket?

I’m always nervous; always pessimistic; I’m an Oldham Rugby fan. I just pray that this isn’t one of these Fax/Fev type games where we build it up then mentally and spectacularly collapse. It’s a test of AK’s progress with the team. The best I can see, given London’s size, speed, full time status, is to push them hard for an hour before they pull away. I just really hope we give a good account of ourselves and the boys walk off with their heads held high, knowing they’ve given their all.

AK says the noises are that London won’t be in Super League next year. That will be incredibly deflating for them and a shock to many; I’d assumed it was a done deal.

That’s a great memory. I haven’t heard of him. From the very little I know of caver tossing I bet he was a b*gger for giving forward passes away. Anyone else got any amazing stories of ‘unusual’ (I use the word with huge respect) players from the dim, distant or even more recent past? The good, the bad, the dare I say ugly?

I’d sell programmes for half a million a week. I’ll undercut him. Gizzajob!

The Saints lad as I recall was George Whitby. I’d be surprised if they don’t keep him and play him; given the very poor form of their current halves their need may well be greater than ours.

Are there no negative comments in this thread!!!?? First time for everything.
