All gone very quiet on the forum since all the moaners have nothing to moan about!

This is another difficult game to call. It appears they are on a roll with winning their last 6 games. Reading reports on our squad, we seem to be down on numbers especially at prop.

Nevertheless, I can see us winning by at least 20. The biggest question has to be "who is refereeing?" If it's Moore or Papadopolus Oldham by 2!

Come the Yeds!!!!!!!!!

Due to the run of home fixtures and being limited on income I'm going to miss the one sadly. 

Surely it shouldn't be too difficult to schedule clubs to be at home one week and away the next. Silly me I keep forgetting this is rugby league

I don’t think you fully understand the subtle balancing of fixture setting - 5 straight home games; 5 straight away games; with 5 straight weeks off In between. Gizza RLFC job! I could do that!

Many times the 4-5 weeks away will be a request from the club due to pitch repairs etc.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

I get that the run of home fixtures is not really ideal but this will generally be the case each year as the Boundary Park pitch is relaid every year in the summer, unfortunately.

This is the problem when sharing with football clubs but sadly, it's the only way many clubs will survive. 

Unfortunately, for me, with petrol going back up, a home match is more than £50 before even having a drink. And three of those on the trot makes a mess of the bank account

Simm and Valepu will come straight in. Lazarus straight swap for McKinney but who Simm replaces in the backline I'm not too sure. Davies has had a quiet few games so could maybe have a rest? Lannon back in would be a big positive to replace Moore but if not I'd like to see Irwin get some game time.

Sheffield have been getting better over the last 6 or 7 weeks since Eden came into the team at full back and he's been outstanding. Abdul caused us all sorts of problems earlier in the season.

Oldham by 8

Think it will be an Oldhamer win by about 20.

As for attendance, anything over a thousand would be excellent but it could be lower given it's a nice day and it's holiday season

I might be wrong, but I think the small squad is now paying the price.

I think you’re right. Plus it’s difficult for new signings (and loan players) to fit in and hit the ground running at short notice.

How did Vaalepu get on? Looked well off it last week, but not too bad the week before. Did he manage more than 10 minutes?

Only listened to last 20 on the internet, but his second stint was the last 5 mins.
