Hunslet -The Big One.

[jroyales]

It all comes down to this to play at home with a realistic chance of beating Newcastle twice.

The Yeds can't get drawn into battle like we had at the Whitebank, having players sent off, and losing when we were way in front and well in control which has

ultimately cost us the championship.

Well. Now we know. Whatever the result against Hunslet, if we're going to go up, we're going to have to do it the hard way.

Those early season results e.g. Workington at home, have come back to haunt us.

Good luck boys. 

[J Dyson]

Well done Oldham! Look forward to the play offs know you can do it!

[moorside roughyed]

Well done boys. Fantastic result.

think they have been here before and blown it.

[J Dyson]

Many times, but this again is a different team. Have faith in them you owe the lads that much!

Good performance once we'd won the wrestle, thought whittel was terrific after the forced change. Langers moving to centre really opened things up.

Really good controlled performance in the second half.  Hunslet sort of self destructed and we picked them off one by one. First half was a bit iffy and we struggled to contain Ashton and especially Chappel but once Benty went to the edge those problems dissipated .

Whittel was super. They couldn't handle his late footwork at the line. Still not quite sure how the lino ruled out his try either. Bridge was excellent again but is definitely carrying a few knocks and really needs the week off. Langtree was struggling to get into the game in the second row and against Chappel but was superb when moved to left centre. Wilkinson was class off the bench again. The rest did their job and were very professional as we wrapped up the game. 

The last month has really shown our true side since Naylor announced he was leaving.

How does Bent tackle that much week in week out? must take until Wednesday before he can get out of bed in a morning.

I don't know he's a machine, incredible workrate. Extremely fit, that probably helps.
