Saints were already sceptical about loaning players to us because they didn’t like our artificial surface so young Roberts getting injured first game isn’t going to fill them with confidence.
Max wood needs to be in the squad if available - he was massive last week, not rising to the late dirty challenges from the frogs
looks like fozzy at 7 with gregson being the interchange 9/7
we should have enough to win this one
A win tomorrow and a fev draw/loss would put us back in the top 6; however I can’t see it happening unfortunately
Defeats for Halifax and Doncaster tonight is a good start to the weekend for us.
a win tomorrow would be huge, with 2x home games against Doncaster & Bradford on the horizon after a week off.
Their grass pitch hasn't been too good though, looking at Percival, Walmsley, Grace and others or did they sneak out and play on an artificial pitch?
I remember when Manase Manuokafoa was accused of breaking Matty Smiths leg during a friendly at Saints my opinion and many more watching that day that the awful pitch was just as much to blame.Their grass pitch hasn't been too good though, looking at Percival, Walmsley, Grace and others or did they sneak out and play on an artificial pitch?

I’m not saying Saints are right in their dislike of our pitch I’m just saying that’s the way they appear to think.
@great-dane Warrington have had 3 players ruled out for 9 months with ACL's. Ashton, Leyland and Lindop. Plus Danny Walker for 12 weeks and Saints Welsby is out for 16 weeks so grass and RL don't seem to be good either.

Again, look at my previous post. I’m not saying that Saints are right in their suspicions about our pitch I’m saying that those suspicions seem to exist.
Is the game on the radio? Afraid I can't find it.
Thanks - found it now.
Oldham score.
Harthill and Gregson mentioned, have we suffered two injuries already? Lyons injured?
Lost Joe Lyon's after a few mins. Backs now Fozzard and Johnston
