Confident of another 2 points on the road. I saw a bit of Skolars last match against NW Crusaders on Youtube & tbh they looked p**s poor. 

But I'm sure Stu will make sure the lads are professional in all they do, get this one out of the way & then preparations will begin for Doncaster at home.

Perhaps a strong contingent of Oldham fans will avoid the London trip and hop over to Doncaster (to follow Hornets!)?

I doubt that very much, but a win from the resurgent Hornets would be nice

Any reason I wonder why we've only named 20 instead of the usual 21 ??

Oooooh!? Didn't notice that. Could be a number of reasons!! New on loan incoming that they've not finalised yet perhaps !?

James Thornton?

 

[jroyales]

Remind me who is James Thornton?

[tandle]

he is a second row forward.

he as played for featherstone/ sheffield / dewsbury /north wales / age 25.

Seeing the result from last season at London Skolars still give me nightmares despite not being at the game.

Just get the job done lads and have a crack at the top 2 in the next few weeks. We seem to be building nicely and the new forwards are now setting a platform for our highly skilled play makers  of McNally Ridyard Paga and Wilkinson. Keep up the good work lads and bring the 2 points home from London then into a massive few weeks. 
 

Keep the positivity going. 

[FailsworthYed]

I think we'll definitely give Dom Newton more minutes he's done really well in recent weeks..

[Chorlton Pete]

If you are going lads get well wrapped up it's only going to be 29 degrees celsius at 3pm.

[Tangle]

Good luck to everyone involved today sadly missing our first game of the season

James Thornton is an Oldham player. He played at least 20 games for us lasy season,mostly as a "middle" 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

0-10 to 10-10 after 35 or so minutes. Please God, let us get a grip. 

[jroyales]

10 - 16 looks like they have woken up. It seams every game we do nowt in the first half then blitz them in the second. Can't do that in our next two games.

Who is the ref and how many penalties have we already conceded?

[jroyales]

10 - 28 HT. Just avoid in any injuries for the next games must be the criteria.

Final score 14 - 62. Back to second, all we want now is for the Hornets to put one on Doncaster tomorrow. What am I doing cheering the Hornets on  -  it must be the sun.

Needs must. However unpalatable.

Ah Van kicked three conversions according to the bbc website. I Hope Ridyard wasn’t injured 

[sheddingswasus]

According to twitter once he had kicked 5/6 he gave the ball to ah van after he had scored his try

Sounds like he hammered us in the first half following twitter. Seems we had quite a few tries disallowed also

[sheddingswasus]

Got the impression Scholars we’re more interested in niggling than playing

[sheddingswasus]

62 points on an away game is impressive who ever we are playing. Well done Oldham!
