Honestly, It wouldn't surprise me if against all the odds we pull this one off.

[chiefgeneral]

I said that at the final whistle yesterday. It'll be hell of a task though

[jroyales]

Play like they did in the second half Dewsbury will score 50. Apparently, they only had a 58% completion rate in that second half.

Will be tough - especially given the quick turn-around, they have an extra 2 days to recuperate & prepare. Win on Friday and it will be a massive effort.

Looking forward to it, if we turn up there's no reason why we can't win

I just hope we turn up because we certainly didn’t at your place and still got a point. Should be a cracker,see you all Friday night.

Just wondering why we need a third hooker in the squad. Not exactly a replacement for Kian Morgan.

[tandle]

i was just thinking the same thing my self shaw l.

slater and wilkinson are both in the squad.

to me a strange and pointless signing.

[Tangle]

Didn’t slater go off injured against Doncaster ?

[graham fisher]

This a 21 man squad,17 players to play plus your 18th man. With him been a DR player he’ll get picked.

[jroyales]

The Oldham Times this morning Thursday 22nd had a very large headline saying we are playing against DIDSBURY on Friday and it goes onto say that Littler said we have to compete for EIGHT minutes.

Contacting the paper they apologised.

I hope we are playing against Didsbury we might have a chance especially if we only compete for eight minutes!

Hoping he would be out with lock jaw

I'll let you guess who gob on legs is

[jroyales]

Whoever he is, he must be a good un to get YOU moaning!

Let's hope the best team wins without any interference from the ref.

Well he walked into the party like he was walking onto a yacht
His hat strategically dipped below one eye. And his scarf was apricot.

Give me Restall over McNally any day. Look McNally is a very good player and played at a good level throughout his career and if he's your player he's the dog's doo dahs, but if he's not he's a pain in the butt. Let's just enjoy what on paper should be a cracking game. Safe journey over from the dark side

No Slater isn't injured . We have the 2 best hookers in the division IMO and Slater is young and Oldham born.

At least he has youth on his side, then.

Restall was good for us and we were disappointed when he took the Dewsbury shilling. However it is what it is. Players move and change allegiances. McNally has proved to be a good signing. Our sights are now on being strong enough to win the play offs. Although improbable, automatic promotion is still possible.
