Funny how people have different perceptions. I thought that we tried to move the ball too soon, and did not ask any questions of their defence in the middle first, then earning the right to go lateral.

Out of the games I've seen this season, that was the worst performance yet, and I have see us lose a couple of times. We were second best to Hornets all day, and even their backs were making yards after contact. Anthony Murray was sat a couple of seats along from me, and he left with a big grin on his face.

Seems some of my questions have been answered here https://roughyeds.co.uk/2023/06/coaches-named-for-town-team-training/?fbclid=IwAR0atG0zpHIIRRFsrqEztRzZCgCHdMcRQJav2kC6gXdlKxzIXPy16HnbWn8

Did anyone attend the meeting about youth rugby. It was invite only for coaches of the youth teams at local clubs. There were suggestions of restarting Oldham Service Area representation. But wondered how this could be achieved, without buy in from other Service Areas. Also curious about what else is proposed.

Tugs Grandson.

I will have to mention Pat Ah Van amongst those who put in a great stint. He started on the edge, then moved to the middle, where he put in a great shift, went off for about 5 mins, before being sent back on on the wing. He was up there as my man of the match. Also Nelmes came on for two great stints in the middle.

Totally happy with today's offering. Thought the game was there for the taking. We did not need to score after Restall's knock on, to play out the six and then defend from deep would have done it. Lets hope the new or returning fans enjoyed it and want to return.

Managed to get a ticket, the grass will have to cut itself.

I am open minded about referees, I usually don't decide they are bad till 5 minutes in to the game.

Looks like its gardening for me then.

Think the announcement also coincided with the current OAFC owners, completing the transfer of ownership of Boundary Park from the previous owners, who did not seem accommodating to RL being played there. With a 10 year agreement in place and new owners of the RL club, things look promising. As a lifelong Oldham RL fan, I would not be happy if we were promoted, if we had not won the right on the pitch.

Don't think this performance was anywhere near last week. But we kept going to the end and took the spoils.

Well done Keighley Cougars, the only club to vote against the IMG proposals for no promotion to or relegation from Super League. As for the rest of the clubs below Super League, where is your ambition. I am sure none of you speak for your fans.

Regards promotion and relegation, look at the last time it was a closed shop. Huddersfield were repeatedly bottom of the pile and showed no sign of improvement. It was only when relegation was reintroduced and they went down and developed from there. To me there is an element of what is the point for teams outside the top tier.

Without promotion and relegation, is the sport worth watching for supporters outside of Super League?

Not surprised about Cameron's punishment. Suppose the RFL did not want a none event when Hornets play Doncaster, therefore no bans for them.

What is the dress code for this night?

Thought we scored the better tries, but were second best in most aspects of the game today. We lost the ground in attack and defence and our goal line defence was woeful. Entertaining and even enjoyed the biff, but think next season is almost already over for one of our players.

Deepest sympathy, only 40 years old.

Oldham also played Batley at Bloomfield Rd Blackpool.
