No Bustin? He looked pretty good last week despite him looking a bit too heavy.

Too heavy? He backed up a break and scored a 30 yard try what more do you want?

But yeah very concerned to not see his name there, arguably our best prop this season. Very consistent and a very low error count as well.

I haven't seen a lot of League 1 this year, but I've seen a bit of Championship. And even though they're at the bottom of the table, I can't see Swinton or Rochdale losing to the third best team in League 1 (which they effectively will be when two teams have already been promoted). Yes there is a "third chance" effectively, but I think it's a very slim one. The playoffs IMO are the only realistic way the remaining 4 teams are going up.

That said, if someone did beat Rochdale/Swinton in that game, ignoring the stupid goalpost moving, you could certainly say that team will have earned their promotion by beating a team who are (arguably) significantly better than them.

Can't say I agree with that, tbh.

The biggest bugbear in league 1 is the difference in quality between the top half dozen, who are pretty much already bottom half of championship level, and the bottom half dozen who, well, definitely aren't. The very bottom championship clubs would most definitely be in very serious danger, imo and probably wouldn't even be favourites for mine, even at home.

Oooh. Let's see, Wood at loose forward? Flanagan starting at hooker?

Re: Play-Offs: Oldham (H) : Fri Sep 28, 2018 2:55 pm  

Flanagan and storton starting is my guess.

19 man squad:
He has to choose either Mcnally or Pickersgill. For the love fo god don't put one on the bench. Surely he's learned from the Workington game.

Knowing our luck, he'll do just that - and we'll see McNally hobble off after 5 minutes with four props on the bench to replace him with

Re: Play-Offs: Oldham (H) : Fri Sep 28, 2018 3:54 pm  

Flanagan at 9, Storton at SR, Minichella at 13, my guess.

Wood at loose- played well there. Storton at second row- been outstanding. Garside and Halas on the bench?

Big thank you to the person on here who’s tried to drop me in it, twisting what I’ve said. You must be really proud of yourself. I wonder if you’ll go straight to the same person with this comment. Can’t even get right what I’ve said.
You are a d1ckhead

Tickets purchased today, feels a bit strange to return to be honest. Not been to Odsal since early last season when I got utterly disheartened by all that had happened at the club. Hope it’s a good match to return to.
