Once again we well beaten by a team that will be in the shake up.

But it is a case of what if?

What was wrong with the try that Coventry scored in the first half? The Oldham player fumbled the ball and the Coventry player grounded it. A possible 6 point loss to the Bears.

That was only a possible, but what about the converted try that Oldham scored after the hooter. To be fair to Mr Bloem he made a point of apologising to Bears coach. He admitted he had not heard the hooter but realised that it had cost the Bears 6 points.

So it could so easily have been a 14 point difference at half time instead of 26. With the Bears having the benefit of both the wind and the hill there might well have been a different mindset in both sets of players.

But no one ever said life was fair.

Oldham can tell you that, they had to back up having played mid week in a hard fought battle. ( I witnessed first hand the toll that can take. I saw Barrow demolish Swinton on Saturday who had themselves played 3 games in just over a week.

But to be philosophical about it, it is a case of welcome to the world of professional rugby league. 3 games against one of the best teams in the division, all of them played in atrocious conditions on a ground that is " challenging" AND oh the irony we don't get a chance to play the Roughyeds on our own balmy bowling green of a pitch.

" Life is a siht sandwich, the more bread you've got the less siht you've got to eat"

Good luck Oldham and thanks for a much warmer welcome off the pitch than on it!
