What have Dixon and Brad Graham done wrong...have I missed something or is it purely coach preference..?

The centre Ben Davies i thought should of come to us at least on dr if not been signed permanent when Crooks got injured at Easter and Eastmond dropped Charlie Graham after the Donny game but i can only guess Kyle didn't want him and he has now joined Oldham as you say.


Musgrove like you say i think that is best left alone but i get the idea a big prop with good go forward would be great for us.


Then we have Riley Dean did we have Keyes and Joufrett when he came back from Aus? and to be honest i do not have my ear to the ground in terms of what is going on at the club, have we still not got a pot to pee in or is it a case of doing things on the cheap you would have to ask someone in the know to find out. As far as i know Dixon is injured and Brad Graham as been dropped which i do not agree with.

Radio for us as having a break away but won’t miss going to the hole.


No idea on the result or selection, we need to start getting back on the winning track asap, possible this week but unlikely.

I think its lovely that you're coming to our iconic ground for a bit. We are in many respects sister clubs, with fans that smile warmly at each other whenever they see the Red, Amber and Black or Blue & White on each other. Giving high fives around the streets of Shelf. We should merge. x

Some decent performances spoiled by a couple of sloppy bits of defence. At long last Jouffret in the halves - understandably looked short on confidence, but still offers more in attack than Hanson, who doesn't make many mistakes but creates nothing. We had several periods of pressure without ever really looking threatening, whereas Drinkwater was a constant danger. Pity McCarron had go off with HiA which he presumably failed  as he looked good especially the way he took his try.Tangata deserves a mention as he ran his blood to water for I think the full 80 minutes - thought 2 best players on the pitch though were the 2 fullbacks - Nofaluma looked threatening with the ball and was solid in defence- we didn't create enough space for him though close to opposition line. Absolutely no idea why we had 3 hookers - Inman effectively playing second row/loose forward was a complete waste of time. Finally while I was digusted when Odsal was chosen as our temporary home - all I can say is that it's a much pleasanter place to visit on a warm summer day than in the middle of winter.

Thanks Ilkley.

Didn't get to listen to it on the Fax Mix platform as it wouldn't work apparently coupled with the site internet being absolutely garbage after spending nearly 30 minutes trying to get connected and the rev counter rising from amber to RED during that time ended up with the bits of coverage BBC radio put out and from that the commentator mentioned our undoing was largely down to error after error and a good few penalties thrown in for good measure so overall another thoroughly frustrating and disappointing day with the Panthers.

Aye, a very winnable game against a very average Oldham side was lost wholly down to mistake after mistake. All 11 Oldham points in the first half down to Fax clangers. We had plenty of chances to win it too but as someone said on't way out of the dump 'we already  look as we are just playing the season out'. I think, sadly, he hit the nail on the head.

Quite enjoyed the experience-even stayed behind in Top House to banter with the returning Bulls fans from Barrow..
Eastmond half got the team right-dropping 2 of his recent signings..but playing 3 hookers instead of Dixon makes no sense whatsoever...
As said mistakes cost us against a lethargic Oldham side who were there for the taking..

The difference for me was the half's both Craven and Drinkwater while not perfect offered more composer near the line and a better kicking game.


Those few sets we had on there line at the end i think if that had been the other way around they would of found a way over. jouffret did look short of confidence in the first half he was just used to kick on the last but in the second half he started to run the ball which tested there defence more. The positives was we more than matched them upfront and for the majority of the first period we had the better of it even with McCarron going off.


With London improving Saturdays game looks harder than it did a few weeks back. Kyle for me is struggling to find improvement in the squad on a level needed to get wins, he keeps praising our effort so that for me says too many players are either not good enough or he needs to take responsibility for playing players out of position and not getting the best out of what he as available to him.

Having just watched the game back, without the help of alcohol lol, it just reiterated what i saw on Sunday, not a lot to beat but ultimately not good to do it. It also confirms my thoughts on Jack Hansen, not one run in the whole 80 minutes, just catch and pass as in most games he plays. Joe Keyes would have made a difference in that game, we are so predictable on our opponents line. What has changed since the start of the season when we looked like we would score every time we attacked? London next but not confident...again!
