Good to see Chase and moi moi. 

We didn’t see much of MoiMoi really. It looked like he got injured in the warm up to be honest. I saw Calland rush over to him when he collided with another Nets player in a drill that went wrong. I don’t think he came out after half time.

Rangi’s starting to recover his form from the broken arm he got last season. Like any half back you need the forwards to be on their game. Second half they were.

I think its a sign of the way that the pack is developing that Fui doesn't stand out like he can do ! I agree he was quiet yesterday and his handling was a bit off but he still put in a couple of second half busts that shook up the Oldham forwards. Rangi = Magic !

I thought Cian Tyrer ha a good game as well. 

Lewis Sheridan was superb when he switched to fullback after Gregg MacNally injured his foot goalkicking.

Tyrer is having a great season. He never seems to make a mistake. Lewis appears to have played with his shoulder strapped up. Maybe that’s why he wasn’t our kicker yesterday.

Was worried that it might be a cricket score based on that first half but we played the best half of rugby i have see this year. The trouble is if that was against a better team we would have been finished, We are not consistent enough and either seem to win in an unconvincing manner or play two completely different halves.

We didn't seem to be able to come up with a game plan in the first half to counteract oldham, we have a plan A and no plan B. You've got to be able to think on your feet and we couldn't yesterday. The lack of communication was also a worry, there was no talking or players taking charge in the first half and if you can't get up for derbies then that is a problem. Nobody looked like they cared.

Second half we were unstoppable and were miles ahead of them, we made better decisions and showed an energy that was lacking in the first half.  Rangi Chase led the team and showed his class, Players making good yards after contact and looked like a different side.

It was a good game and yet again another Hornets v Oldham game that will be remembered but it would have been better if we had scored more of those 50 points in the first half.

Yes, we were very quiet first half, not much communication going on.
