Thoughts on the Oldham game this weekend??

A 20+ point win

We really do need to improve our points difference.

]

agree, need 30+..................

Let's just make sure we get the win first, don't care if it's by one point. But agree, we need to post a good result for a couple of reasons, we need the win, we need the points difference but more importantly we need the confidence builder of a good solid win. The game up in Blackpool and out in Toulouse are both 4 pointers so we need the team to build belief

Channing in the 19. Dixon & Sammut too. Kear still out injured. Still no reprise for Roqica & Purtell.

Has the 19 been published yet

Roqica on duel reg at the Skolars.

Only change from last week's 19 is Channing for Evans.
It leaves us threadbare at prop...
Only Ioane, Offerdahl and Bienek.

Thought Bienek was excellent last week

Elliot told me he hoped to be back for the Bradford game. It says something for how badly Roqica has gone that will all the injuries to props they've shipped him out to Skolars.

Bienek is still, pretty green, the rest of the squad were doing everything they could to make sure his head didn't drop and his confidence didn't take a dip when he dropped the ball last week. Great that he got on the scoreboard, lad could have a good future.

Think excluding Roqica is a mistake, not so much this week, but for away games

I fully agree he is the bulk this team needs and produces effort from the minute he steps on the field. I wonder if the spirit is going to be broken amongst the senior team members if they continually get dropped. I believe in rotation but not picking senior members week on week seems wrong it would be different if they were injured.

If we continue winning without them how can anyone make a case for them returning?

Who's to say we wouldn't have won the games with team rotation. Who knows if we would have won with senior members. We dont and the final question could we have won with a bigger points difference. We dont know. The young bloods have done a remarkable job but if I was a senior player and been dropped four games on the trot I would not be happy. Not all of them played poorly. Some did
