Keighley "The Big One" 18th August.

Win this one and we are champions.

Sean has a massive headache who he plays and where. Their line speed knocked us off our game there and as good as Ellis was yesterday, they will stifle him. So, who plays at 7 is a massive choice to make. Our forwards, whoever he chooses, are a match for any side and the backs have been outstanding. We have a winger who has scored 30 tries and still finds it difficult to catch the first team.

Oldham by 20.

Tyrer simply must play, lethal finisher who can find space in a packed room!

Oldham's defence in the league campaign has been quite outstanding, just an average of 8 pts conceded per game; repeat on Sunday and we'll be crowned champs.

Re the full back options when PLT goes, O'Keefe had a blinder there for Hornets against us at Spotland last season. All set for Sunday....!

Can you pay on the gate at Keighley or do you have to buy tickets in advance?

I think you can still pay on the door on Sunday but past experience at Keighley especially with a big game like this is that its just easier to buy your ticket in advance. Got mine yesterday and another tip is if driving try and get their early doors to ensure you get a parking space not too far from the ground. There is a lot of on street parking but i made the mistake of leaving it late to get there for the Boxing Day clash and ended up having to park miles away and missed the first 10 mins of the game. 

COME ON OLDHAM!!!!!!!!!!🏆🏆

Nah, I'm confident we'll turn em over on Sunday, defence is miles better than last meeting at their place, we'll finish stronger and edge it.  Oldham by 8.

We went there last time thinking we would win every game this season so complacency beat us. This time we have a point to prove, that we are the best team in this division - by a "long" way. We can't go up as champions having let Keighley beat us twice.

My team would be: JPT; Mo; Johnson; JT; Dixon; Craven; Astley; Fairbrother; Wildie; Chaplehouse; Hirst; Wardle; Moran. Subs: Aldridge; Lawton; Kopczak; Sidlow.

Tactic would be soften them up and then bring the big lads on to smash them!

Oldham by 24.

I dreamt last night that we beat them, won the league and I was jumping on the roof of the dug out cheering idiotically as the players celebrated manically round the pitch. Mike Ford did a Jurgen Klinsmann dive and went straight into the hoardings head first. Then we came straight back in the pitch to play against a fired up Wigan. I was sat in the middle of the Wigan fans who were cross as I’d been selling them rip off fish and chips before the game. I might be a bit late on Sunday - my psychiatrist doesn’t let me out until I show significant improvement. Er, come on, Oldham!!!

Didn't rate Fairbrother anyway!!!!!!

Get to my age and thankfully I only made two mistakes and thanks for correcting me.

Obviously, I meant PLT and Chapelhow a "fairbrother" of the other one.

Still see a win by 24.

For a minute I thought we'd re-signed Fieldhouse 🙂

this could turn out to be a very vicious game.

i believe keighley will do their best to get oldham players sent off.

and also try to  injure them. they will play it right near the edge.

especially flanagan who will try every trick in the book.

so oldham must not fall into the trap
