    Hopefully, not a few from Oldham will come to Hornets next Sunday to cheer us against Keighley.

    Surely, a good turn out after today’s important result.

    Yes, we wish you well 🙂

    I see Keighley piled on the points yesterday as did Midland. I still feel it will come down to points difference at the end of the season. We should have played our strongest team against Cornwall and scored as many as we could. After Hunslet we could have scored over 80.

    My concern is we haven't played a decent side yet or is it we are just too good - i sense the latter.

    I can't imagine we are too worried about points difference so early in the season - Sean will be confident his team will beat Keighley 3 times and it won't be an issue.

    Tyrer has just scored another 4 tries against Cornwall

    No player in the long history of Oldham RLFC (1876 - ) has ever scored 10 tries in 2 games before. Cian beat Joe Ferguson's record of 9 set in 1922, over a century ago.

    Can't argue with the comments made about the referee, but if it had been a male referee, I am sure there would have been more comments about how she let Cornwall really slow down the game at the ruck. Sadly, a decent crowd didn't see the Yeds at their best. Yes you will argue Sean give fringe players a run, but surely entertainment is paramount in getting, and keeping, the paying spectators coming back for more.

    Like I have said before it could come down to points difference at the end of the season. I don't think Keighley will rest players, they will pile the points up. It will be interesting what side Sean puts out against Newcastle!

    The real downer is the injury to JT, he is the star player for me.  Looking at the 10 tries scored by Tyrer, how many did JT make for him?

    However, still top of the league.

    Like I have already said it could come down to points difference between us and Keigthley.

    We have to put a side out that the punters are paying good money to see and above all else score as many points as they can to entertain so as to fill the stadium next time.. I f Sean puts an "A" team out I will be disappointed.

    We don't have an 'A' team, we have a squad of 27 of whom 5 missed the Hunslet game with injury. Some of those are long-term so Sean can't make too many changes. I suspect he might hand a chance to Paga, Gallagher & Aldridge. And maybe Kieron Tyrer as well. And start with PLT at full-back?

    Some of Ike's family came to one of our games last year to receive his Oldham Heritage Certificate, was lovely to meet them. I believe he was our record signing from Town at the time & then we sold him back to you 2 years later for our record sale!

    IKE SOUTHWARD'S 6 TRIES

    in Oldham RLFC

    Posted

    So Cian Tyrer has become the first Oldham player to score 6 tries in a game since the great Ike Southward in February 1960, a staggering 64 years between drinks. I know some of our older fans remember watching the great team in the 50's, so does anyone remember being at 'Sheddings to witness Ike's double hat-trick all those years ago? I believe the opposition were Walney Central in the Challenge Cup.

    Just seen the tries from Hornets win at Midlands on Sunday. Ridyard & McNally still very dangerous & they got a little blond haired hooker called Openshaw who I'm sure did very well for us on dual reg a few years ago. Very lively him & will need to be watched. 

    Can't wait for Easter Sunday, bring it on !

    Oldham 32-York 10

     

    confident of a bounce back following last weeks disappointing performance. Our Budget will be much bigger than York’s so expect us to win this one, against a team that finished 6th in the champ last year.

     

    York are a great club who I have massive respect for. We should be modelling there improvements on and off the field and staying classy 

    Cloud cuckoo land springs to mind !

    We got as far as our illustrious neighbours, and the margin of loss was the same with us playing against a stronger team.

    A lot of hand wringing going on over the dark side of Tandle Hill. ‘Long’ may it last.

    Now now Anita, we all know you're a proud Hornet but with a very strong soft spot for us Roughyeds as well 🤣

    Rawsthorne is a big loss. We have options on that wing but there’s a chance now for someone to make that shirt their own. I’m not convinced by Johnson. Anyone know when Sambou is back?

    I think Johnson is primarily a centre or full-back. He's a good player, though not quick enough for wing in my opinion.

    58-6 1988.

    Burke, Atkinson, Foy, McAllister, Meadows, Walsh, Ford, Sherrat, Sanderson, Waddell, Casey, Graham, Warnecke, Subs: Irving, Hawkyard

    Some real bad refereeing that day.

    Anita, at first glance, I read that as the 58th of June, 1988. I thought 'she's' finally lost the plot !!! 🙂

    And a stream train going past making a smog over the pitch and the ref calling it off, with minutes to play and losing the final reply. 

    Oh yes that's already happened 

    Or a try awarded against us when the guy's over the deadball line or one of ours disallowed because our wingers offside (not) 🙂
