Ryder and Gabs weren’t exactly known for repelling all boarders either.

Defensively better imho.

Tom Coates just posted a cracking picture on the Barmy Army Facebook page showing that whilst the decision was nowhere near as bad as it first looked it was still the wrong call. thanks Tom.

Does that do any good though? Upsets the regulars and unless they're at all the training sessions it doesn't even help the patterns of play. Does show that they believe they are still in the game mind. That league position of theirs is probably misleading given that they've had to play the top three teams away ......certainly ran us close.

That’s a seriously useful site Rambo. my only reservation is that it suggests that there were double the number of spectators at the Hunslet game when compared to that against Widnes: which I seriously doubt.

But does he jump from in touch. Your slow mo obviously better than mine

I’ll fess up that it’s very hard to tell on the highlights whether or not that 40/20 was legit, but boy, oh boy some of the other decisions by the ref were extraordinary. The knock on by Owen from that high kick that went back, the penalty against Bailey and the barge by Ridyard on Owen that resulted in a penalty for them being the highlights. a strange Dale Morton type lapse by Perry for their first try but how good was the grubber by Callum for Brads try? can’t see whether the Oldham player was held up or got the ball down in that attack straight after the break.

That Touchy may as well have just worn his Oldham shirt. I Will have to watch the highlights but at first watch the decision on that 40/20 appeared to be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen given on a rugby pitch.

He did. My apologies but we def had more than a few chances.

My thoughts exactly. Will make for an interesting watch on the highlights package. ? A rare favour from the ref? Deserved the win on defence alone for me. Outstanding. Apart from their uncanny ability to drop the ball when they looked more likely to score I thought they looked (once again) better than Donny so not sure what happened at their gaff last week. Doesn’t matter now but couldn’t understand why we didn’t go for the drop goal in that last 15 minutes. Had several opportunities.

No idea but it’s a ######. Sunday is rugby day.

Not sure you’re fit enough. You let in those late points against us. I reckon with the way you play if you improve your match fitness you’d be hard to beat.

Agree. Was hoping for an Oldham win.

Nice to see the excuses coming in early but we’ve got Dale Ferguson out injured. Unless Ridyard is one with a ban, at best it’s quits. I’d come over the M62 unless google maps says no.

Not sure 36-10 is that much tighter..LOL...26-10???

Think Gab could bag a hatful of tries in this division but I wouldn't be dropping either Lewis or Perry, mainly cos I think they're stronger on defence. Centres? Ollie straight back in alongside Bailey.

Bummer.... Thats a massive blow with Oldham coming up..

Nice if we could get the ref from Sunday. Thought we def had the rub of the green and boy oh boy Davey was v lucky not to be sent off for that kick.

100% agree on Sykes. Was a massive miss yesterday. Defo need him in the pitch.

Not the best game but two points in the bag. Thought Cornwall looked much better at their own gaff, probably because we found it hard to use the extraordinary width to our advantage (it’s so wide it’s nearly square) and they never gave up. Probably most happy will be Ollie, Paul Sykes, Connor Davies and Matt Garside Highlight? Easily the first half try by Jimmy. Class. Hope Dale will be ok but it looked bad to be honest. Liam might regret not giving him the day off. Good turn out from the Rams supporters and a good atmosphere they’ve created down there. Really enjoyed it. Also cracking Cornish pasties . Hopefully they can get a few wins under their belts to keep the fans coming. Certainly had a good team spirit. Onwards to Friday when I’m sure we’ll step up a gear and the four absentees will be back.

I will be there and looking forward to it massively. Watched a YouTube blog from when they played Rochdale Mayfield (well worth a watch) and it looked like a grand day out.

Def obstruction...Just ask McNally

Damn right. we were behind the sticks when Jimmy scored his try. McNally nearly had a meltdown...Apparently Jimmy had put it down on the "wrong" line. Priceless listening in....

Just seen highlights. Some interesting penalty decisions all round. I will never know why we got our first penalty when we took the two and the penalty for the push on Rydyard at the start of the second half was a joke. Also absolutely no idea why Sykes had to go to the bin. Def not a head high tackle. Just flattened the man with the ball. As for that last minute penalty it’s v hard to see what we did wrong. On a positive note the pass from Owen for our last try was awesome and the team spirit you can see after that score is priceless.

Gotta agree that they were faster all round, especially in the first half. Not only were they far quicker at the play the ball, but much quicker off their line when defending. But…… I do think it took its toll. They were blowing by the end and that’s why we were able to get back in. Can’t see them liking our pitch when they come next month.
