Absolutely fantastic effort from the boys today - the final score didn't half flatter Swinton.

Also superb to see Danny Stanley eventually up on his feet after what was an awful challenge by Phil Joseph.

Good effort from your lads today,certainly plenty to build on for the season ahead.The two early tries were the worst thing that could have happened to us ,we seemed to go to pieces after that with mistake after mistake.I thought 2nd half we were much more solid particularly after Holroyd was introduced.How comical was the try/no try that our young winger Foxen overan confusing the in goal markings! good luck for the rest of the season.

Great stuff from the lads today.Just sometimes a little bit of discipline lacking in the second half but a good performance against an experienced lions team. The foxen try was mad! He was that eager to get back round under the sticks he didnt see the line!!

Also just hope Dannys ok as well.

Good effort today against an experienced Swinton team that are likely to win more games than they lose this season.

I was stood with an Oldham supporter in the second half who was very impressed with the lads in the first half when the passing was sweet and incisive. More of that and the future will be bright.

Danny Stanley has just left hospital good news jaw is not broken, so he should be ok thanks to all the fans who made the trip today think you were more vocal then Swinton fans, if these young boys keep putting in the effort and training hard we are in for some good times this year.

If someone has the team sheet, can they post it here

Yes all of the lads put in a good effort yesterday and were unlucky not to come away with the spoils-- what impressed me most was that the young lads kept their heads up even though they fell behind by 12 points so early on in the game.
Good to hear Danny's on the mend.

I personally think a massive thumbs up must go to Tony Miller for what he has done over the close season.
I'll hold my hands up and say that i've called him before, but this is the first full pre season he's had, and he's brought in his own players rather than having to step in.
The lads were running angles like a side that have played together for a long time and that can only be down to Tony and his coaching staff so from me WELL DONE TONY AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Perhaps some of the players who Tony has inherited on previous occasions have had their own ideas? It is clear to see that this group are playing for him, the coaching staff, themselves and the supporters and that is great to see.

We don't have any big headed know it all's this season

What do you mean?
There's me.
