I will go 32-18 can see us letting in a a couple of tries when crusaders spread the ball against us to score out wide it looked a little to easy to me, I think we will naturally be a bit rusty but our backs and half’s quality will be too much for them really looking forward to hopefully seeing a much more attacking style!

OLDHAM CUP GAME LAST SEASON

[elton broke the east stand Posts: 2New signing☆]

Hopefully get a good competitive look at the squad. Pleasantly excited by the core of the time, looking forward to watching Deon Cross

Very worried about the depth.

[Ditton donkey Posts: 223First Teamer☆☆☆☆☆☆]

Agree about depth, but this should apply to all teams ?
Unless our salary cap is less than the rest, which has been suggested
And how many teams in championship are running reserves and academy ?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Talking of squad depth, Oldham only have a 22 man first team squad.  2 of their props Jode Sherrife and ex Widnes/Wigan player Ben Davies are ruled out of the weekends game through injury.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>We have a 24 man squad, 25 really as Dugdale has shirt number 28 and for me is good enough to play some games for the first team.</p>

Anyone knows whats wrong with Leuluai?

I expect Dugdale, O’Neil, Hulme and Edge to miss out from the 21 named. Lyons to be our hooker/back sub along with Farnworth, Cooper and Dwyer for me unless Grady isn’t ready yet.

I’d leave out Lyons, Dwyer, Edge & Hulme

[Steve McDonald Posts: 76Time to get a VIQI☆☆☆☆]

Macgraff has a hip injury.

 

Sounds like a big following going, the shop at the stadium is opening tomorrow to ease demand at the market.

Two injuries are already stretching us for middle unit forwards. Be either a chance for young O’Neill or just one prop on the bench. I’d give him a go.

[Former Chemic Posts: 170North Stander☆☆☆☆☆]

So would I MT. We are going to win  fairly easily on Sunday and it’d be a good chance to see how young O’Neil shapes up against the bigger, but older, Oldham forwards

[James Posts: 174North Stander☆☆☆☆☆]

Why can’t they just announce the squad in squad number format 🙁

Looking forward to the game though.

Well if Grady is not ready yet why put him in squad ?

[MT Posts: 125North Stander☆☆☆☆☆]

I’d expect Grady to feature (perhaps from the bench) without doing a lot of minutes.
