shrewsbury roughyed

Oldham’s worst start to a game (ie 30 plus minutes) for a long time. In danger of believing our own publicity? Basic skills very poor. Catching and passing dreadful. Panic in attack. Senior players Poe performance. Sean Long’s first real test as Roughyeds’ coach. Needed that score just before HT. Swinton just patient (mostly) and doing the job. I still think Oldham will win though. I thought the ref looked about 10 at the start- he’s been outstanding so far though.

Sean Long’s first real test at half time. Getting a lesson so far. Passing to the outside backs is abysmal. Panic attacking. Basic skills poor. It’ll take a much better second half to come out of this with anything. And proving that I know b*gg*r all about anything we score a very good try. Come on Oldham!! The ref has been outstanding so far. Looks about 10 but on top of this one absolutely.

Wake up call here. Believing our own publicity? Mo having the worst 14 playing minutes of his life. If we don’t score next this is game over.

A patient Swinton v a panicky Roughyeds so far. Two dropped high kicks. A silly offload. A definite and stupid penalty. Need to calm down here.

Shocker of a start

When Scotty finally beams you up!! No offence

Turned out to be a good question! 12-12 second half. Good effort from Rochdale.

Trouble is with appealing is that you’re as likely to have the ban doubled as rescinded.

Just another example of the wtf is going on tendency of over a century of rugby league.

Done tremendous go forward for Oldham, across the board. And the quality and fierceness of the tackling had to be seen to be believed. Very few misses. Great stats fir the club. And great analysis and recording, Brooksy. Much appreciated. Many thanks.

I thought the ref was moving to red card one from each team - but then he seemed to just send Broadbent off. O'Keefe was pouring with blood and according to Sean Long had been 'blindsided' and has a big gash on his head. So I'm assuming the ref received info and changed his mind.

If losing 66-12 is proving a point, the point proved must be that we were right to move them on! No offence to our respected and beloved ex-Riughyeds…

Big big effort from both teams. Credit to all .

Red card for was it Broadbent? Looked like the ref was trying to give an Oldham red card too, but maybe changed his mind. Top win though

GET IN!!!! Some flaws in that performance but the absolute definition of grinding it out. Second half we ground Barrow into the dirt. Two tremendously committed teams. Great advert for the game. Great advert for the Roughyeds.

Chapelhow is a warrior!

Even I could (possibly) have scored through that gap. Come on boys!!!

Refereed, I meant

Still in this but getting a kicking lesson and referred to death so far.

Ouch...that's bad news. Hope he recovers very, very soon and that the medical care he received in Oldham was top-notch. All the best, for your recovery mate. Hope we play you again in Super League in a couple of years.

These guys will only get better playing with their current team mates. I can see Moran making Super League if he continues to progress.

Thanks for the info. Much obliged.

Is the mighty Danny Langtree still with you. I met a Barrow fan in Leeds last year who said he was your best player. Brilliant player week in week out for us.

Tough test. Maybe the 1895 Cup will be the more realistic way to Wembley!

Great to hear that you’re able to get back in the flesh. Not too long ago the club would have had to borrow your motor home for the players to get changed in! Onwards and upwards!!!
