Half man half grapefruit Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The ugly truth. How good were the Rams,and how bad were you, in your two latest encounters? Would like to know what we're up against on Sunday.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I only witnessed the Good Friday fiasco but can honestly say Dewsbury are poor. Nowhere near the dire rugby offered up by Batley, but they did the basics to get the win. Watch for Stringer and Tonks dishing it out but also both milking for penalties. Our defence is shocking of late and Dewsbury, like other clubs, capitalised on this. You don't have much to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cattivo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Halifax will score 30-40 points with ease. No team morale. The players have looked decidedly uninterested these last 3-4 weeks.

silverback Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 their will be plenty of 40/20s, lots a one on one decent shots from the big lads,gang tackles without all the wrestling nonsense,few high bombs to test a few players in the air, some great tackles out wide to fire players into touch, lot of flair and gaps been hit at speed and scoots galore all over the park, and even a few angled grubbers on the last to test a few even more when their puffing and blowing, so at least 48 points, trouble is we will be read like a book and score 14. grass cutting time.

Blind side johnny Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I think HMHG is an Oldham fan, not Fax. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPH Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 yep Half Man half Grapefruit is a Oldham fan wanting to know how Dewsbury are playing these days..... 1...Batley are not playing well at all.....we would definitely not put that 50 past you these days....so its hard to gauge..... our defence has gone AWOL.....and we are now clueless in attack....passing along the line for the sake of it....no probing... 2...Dewsbury.....their squad has not changed much .....but they are fired up.....defensively better....it depends whether Oldham can match their enthusiasm...... 3.......Dewsbury usually raise their game against Batley.....ITS THEIR CUP FINAL these days.....you are not Batley....

Tony F Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I really fear for us on Sunday. Ben Johnston will have an absolute field day against us from full-back. I wouldn't be at all surprised if go for 50+ on that big pitch at The Shay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Guys, he's asking how we would rate Dewsbury when his team (Oldham) face them. Nothing to do with us heading to Fax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the confused, the original post can mean two things equally. Wouldn't have hurt to make it less ambiguous "I'm an Oldham fan and we've got Dewsbury next. What are we up against?"

We're playing much better since Neil Kelly took over but not getting carried away as we are still pretty poor imo, players coming back from injury and 1 or 2 new recruits might just raise our game,who knows. I think this game will be close,4/6 points either way,see you Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggystyle Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Leatherbarrow had his kicking boots on against Leeds, sorry I mean Bradford and their 'accessories'. I've a lot of time for Scott. Good luck to the Roughyeds against our local rivals (not that we've really given them a game lately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
