*Play like we did against Halifax and we'll get beat, just, or maybe a draw, or even a win, just. play like we did against whitehaven and we'll get stuffed, Royally. We, being Oldham.  (The first home of Rugby League.)

The irony that Sheffield refused to move the fixture so we could have a crowd is not lost on me. I do however wish the players a speedy recovery.

Batley Vs London the game of the weekend if you have chance to watch it I’d buy the game if I was you... it could be a classic

Probably the shattering of yet more illusions down south. Mount Pleasant is not the easiest place to get a result and London are conceding a minimum of 20 points per game. I am not optimistic.

Agreed, London's defence looks too dodgy for us to win.

[Josef K]

I saw the tries from the Hunslet/Workington game and i was very impressed with the Hunslet shirt.

Rumour that Gilmore not playing which might be crucial.

[Moominman]

Sadly I can only see one-way traffic in the Whitehaven - Toulouse game. Even if Haven had their first choice line-up, it would have been a tough ask, but they are missing McNally, Aiye, Walker, Shackley, Bulman, Walker, Olstrom, Dixon and Dawson amongst others.

Going to be a good one (My heart wants London my head says Batley:)

London are full time I think?

I mention because The Mount is a very stamina sapping pitch, especially playing uphill in the second half. 

It should be a good game hopefully.

London do not pay up to the cap limit and to be honest in all the games I have seen them in thus far especially Halifax and Sheffield you would have struggled to work out which team was part time and who was not.

Hammering it down with rain in Batley which means a forward dominated game - NOt good for LOndon.

[Man of Kent]

12-2 London after 20
