Need the Craig Cooke move ar dummy half which usually fooled the opposition and sometimes the ref.

Even though we still have numerous forwards out we need a moral boosting win.

Nobody was too worried that we lost to Hull last week. We probably don't expect to beat Leeds next week, depending on the strength of their team, of course, but a loss to Oxford would really get us concerned.

We've probably got something to lose today, whereas in the other two games, we haven't. Weighman is right, we do need a morale boosting win because a loss would be terrible, even though it is only a friendly.

I must admit that I hadn't considered a defeat as an option today. I was thinking more on the lines of how many we'd win by, but the thought of losing is sending shudders down my spine. All of a sudden, the Hunslet match from the last pre-season has sprung to mind.

Yes, players and fans alike need to win today or else the season ahead will take on a completely different complexion. A loss wouldn't be terminal, especially with so many players out, but it'd probably bring us all down to earth with a bump.

Good performance today against Oxford who, apart from the first 15 mins, were under pressure all game. We laid the foundation for the win with solid defence . Some good performances all over the park. Hodges passed the ball well ,Connor Scott , Braham & Walton did well upfront . Liam & Matt Welham impressed as did Tom Carr in the backs . D F-J is a crowd pleaser . Reece Williams (trialist prop)also did well.
Some good tries !

I agree we should definitely sign up Williams and Braham for mine, although I also like the look of Ricky Hough the other trialist over the last couple of games.

At times for me Walton was the best forward on the field.

Also David Foggin-Johnston MOTM for mine and both him and Matty Welham seem to be excitement machines - look forward to seeing them play more.

We were rubbish I am never going again ever!

Agree that David F-G and Marty Welham are crowd pleasers, but I was impressed with Liam Welham. Not just that he put in a good shift both in defence and when we had the ball, but he was steering the youngsters around him well. Giving a word of encouragement when needed and getting them set up defensively.
A comfortable win against a ring rusty Oxford, and happy the way they threw the ball around. Just need to see if they can temper that when they have a stronger group in front of them.
Never the less, a win is a win, and winning makes a welcome change.

Lots of positives to take from today's game. I was very impressed by Tom Carr at half-back. Louis Sheriff looks a very handy player too. We don't seem short in the important creative positions this season. Jordie Hedges knows how to get us around the park.

Matt Cook looked good when he came on. Matty Welham must be set for a starting place too. Excellent work by Jack Walton, Zac Braham and Connor Scott too. Ben Frankland looked busy too. Foggy on the wing is good to watch!

Well done to all the lads today on a very enthusiastic performance.

really enjoyed today, seems a long long time ago since we had a win. all the players named above had good games today (nobody played poorly ) we seemed to take ages in the second half to get the scoreboard ticking over again but once we scored again we seemed to find our rhythm again. DFJ played really well had a hand in most tries in the first half he will be a crowd pleaser for sure, the highlight of the game for me was connor scotts storming run and touchdown in the second half nobody was going to stop him, superb effort. lets hope for a good perfromance against leeds in 2 weeks time. well done lads. COYDs

Any number of good performances today. Nice to see that we can switch players around positionally with little or no detriment.

Obviously, stronger challenges await, but very heartened by this afternoon's showing.
