6-0 ht. seem to be absorbing an awful lot of pressure and vs as usual can't get over the line.
Can’t blame the ipitch for Lyons injury 🤣
Honestly feels like someone somewhere has upset the gods of RL because this is not just an injury crisis it’s an injury pandemic!
What happened to Lyons? I couldn't tune in until after his injury. Commentators say he is walking on crutches now, not good at all.
It’s a tough deal having your 2 hookers playing in both halves positions but JJ and Foz are both experienced enough to be able to organise themselves get some kicks in on the last.
shocking choices to just power play it every 5th play, and Oldham have took advantage with their chances
Well what a game - away in Spain at moment and could only get local Oldham radio - and it as crap
but again the curse of the halfback injury strikes
our season is over, we will stay up for sure- I will still come and watch this season and next
we deserve some injury luck
see farnworth back with Oldham too
@scouseviking55 I think it's harsh neither of them are kickers and trying to organise and sort kicking duties plus a new player in team
lots of effort didn't expect to win now they need to find a half back and 2 weeks to do it

I think this sums the game up perfectly today, so unlucky to get more injuries especially in the halves but I’d expected more from them today no one had any real idea attacking wise didn’t do one kick into them massive in goals! Big Ben looks like a good one though
I thought the score flattered Oldham, they were the better side, especially in attack, but their second try came from what I thought was a Oldham knock on, bit the ref said we knocked on and they scored from the scrum. Their 3rd try came from a pass that Oldham dropped but they managed to knock it backwards and passed it out and scored Then JJ threw a terrible pass out, which they intercepted to stroll in.
I thought we tackled well, but didn’t have much idea going forward , although we had a couple of 50 metre breaks, but couldn’t finish them off.
Hopefully we will have 2/3 players back in a fortnight as well as our surprise (😮) new signing.

Don't forget their first try was due to hesitancy from 3 players in the in-goal area, allowing the Oldham player to touch down. Nobody took charge of the kick.

@vikingfox71 I don’t think I’m being overly harsh to be honest.
I think the point stands that as experienced players, JJ started as a half up until first team action, between them they could of tried something different. It was clear we weren’t going to crash over after the first 3 attempts so to carry it on every 5th play in good position for the majority of the game seemed pointless.
Foz can kick linger distance, JJ has put grubbers into the ingoal plenty of times before
I wasn’t expecting a win with 1 halfback never mind 0 playing but we can still be disappointed that with plenty of good field position we didn’t throw caution to the wind and just try anything and everything
@scouseviking55 we haven't scored many points with regular half backs never mind two hookers look at hull kr yesterday Lewis went off never scored another point with litten at half backs
jj and foz are both great at what they do but neither are creative players we got we we expect another hard working performance loads of effort no cutting edge
on a brighter point it might makes us finally sign a half back
I did not go yesterday but listening to the Longy interview it seemed like they was defending lots and kept us out. To me it seems like need some creativity at half back and big forward like Lawton to crash over. 💪👍
As long as we leave him in the back row where he causes problems him and condon a great couple of second rows
