The obstruction was a poor call, the defender chose to run to the dummy runner, if he didnt race in he would have tackled Tomkins. Hardmans try was dodgy, he dropped the ball and slid over it, surely putting your shoulder on the ball doesnt consitute a try? The 1st was 50/50, whether he meant to steal it or not he was still pulling at the ball.

Dickens should have gone for the headbutt. Ref didn't even see it.

When was that then? I hope you're not referring to the moment Hansen broke his nose.

There were 2 head clashes. The first was completely accidental and was caused by him running with the ball, no problem with that. It was the one seconds later where only Dickens' head moves directly into Hansen's.

No idea why i thought id made sense to back oldham at +64. Must of got carried away with the rain.

At least you're honest!

Cheeky £30 on Bradford (+22), Sheffield (+50), Batley (+22) and Leeds (-12). Promising start in the first game.

Hmm, so much for that good start. I may as well tear the slip up now after those two gifts.

I got the same dilemma with us today against swinton, its throwing it down so thinking we wont cover the -62.

Sticking with Salford Try First Scoring Play. 2/1 with Betfred.

Well done

So close to the perfect possible outcome and yet so far, unless Huddersfield and Leeds pull their fingers out, I fear.
