Welcome back. The more the merrier. I'm hoping for a good game and a win to top it off.

Also welcome back. Don't blame you in becoming disheartened. However i genuinely believe if we get promoted, we are finally on an upward path. Still have to pinch myself we've signed Jake Webster. Academy products coming through again. However we absolutely have to get out of this division. Another season of facing Hemel and West Wales and we'll be lucky to get over 2k fans.

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it now as this game definitely has some pressure and plenty riding on it. I couldn’t justify the cost for a family to be watching blow out scores versus poor L1 sides at Odsal this year when my heart wasn’t really in it.

Really want us to start with intent this game. One of our problems all season has been slow starts and then chasing the game. We can't afford to give them a 10 point start again. Hopefully Kear has them coming out fired up!

I’m hoping we get off to a big start today and avoid any silly tactics that Oldham could potentially use to drag us into a dogfight. The last time we had a game of this magnitude we were anonymous in the opening 40 mins, massive improvement needed today!

I'm really nervous about this game today. I'm expecting a win, but preparing for a shambles where we drop everything, have no ideas and then lose by 2 points in the last 5 minutes.

Well i think Oldham have 3 props, one of which plays a lot of loose. So if we lose, then it would be up there with the Fev debacle. I said it earlier in week. If we don't get promoted, then it's down to us. Just hoping Kear doesn't try and be clever or cocky or put a back on the bench.

Stick to the game plan,complete your sets and don't give them cheap yards with unforced errors.We have the talent to beat Oldham so let's do it.

Disappointed to see Pickersgill dropped for McNally.

I get that there’s the bonus of big game experience, but bringing somebody back from injury in the most important game of the season is a big risk in my opinion.

Least he's not gone with one of them one the bench. Our bench will win it today IMO. As above poster said, compete our sets, especially early on. Then let the bench start punching holes through Oldham. Only way Oldham win today is if we drop the ball and give away penalties. Still would have preferred Bustin ahead of Kirk.

Hope you’re right.

Agree regarding Bustin. He was excellent in the first half of the season. Not sure why Kirk is ahead of him at the moment.

Needs a strong ref today who won't stand any Oldham nonsense, and is experienced enough not to be "old manned" by what will be a likely last gasp fist fight by Oldham. I reckon we SHOULD win this easily, but won't take off the waterproof undies till the whistle goes for F.T !

Best half we've played all season. Same again second half!

Not sure I agree with that. We looked pretty average until Peltier and Flanagan came on.

So....Workington next week then.

3rd time lucky....?

Excellent.In the context of importance of that game,best performance of the season.Completed sets early on and set a platform for the rest of the game.Very happy.

Best performance of season. Kear got his selection spot on (except if Bustin was fit he should have been in for Kirk). Minchella superb, his pass to Gibson for his try was top drawer. Chizzys' game management was good and Keyes looks a yard faster lately when he does his show and go. Peltier very powerful as usual and Flanagan put more zip into our go forward when he came on. Workington next week and we deffo owe Pryce one. Onwards and upwards.

The most... composed.... performance of the year, barring Peltz's brainfart at the end. Let hope when Pryce's lot start their grubby tactics we can remain as calm.

Though the ref had a good game too, didn't really notice him until 60 mins

Well done and congratulations to the Bulls
One of the best all round team games from the Bulls this season for me. Defence awesome, completion of sets in the main very good, a lack of unforced errors, some good backing up and support play, and we nilled Oldham on top just to complete the afternoon.
Now we need to replicate all that next week against Leon's grubby team tactics. Hope the ref is a really top official, and is conscious of the tactics Workington can adopt.

What a performance! Are we about to hit a good spot of form at the right time of the year?

I felt that Flanagan and Peltier were the game changers during the first 40 mins. Our intensity stepped up another level and Oldham were blown away. Minchella and Keyes also looked very dangerous going forward.

Great composure and some excellent play (Hitchcox & Gibson’s scores). If we play like we did today we should be fine next week.

Very solid 1st half and then turned on the style in the 2nd half. Thought our defence was excellent and Oldham never looked like they would break us down. Some of our last tackle plays were a little strange at times but I'm being overly critical I think.

Good day, although I expected the scoreline to be closer and I forgot how cold Odsal can be when the wind is whipping around!

First hurdle jumped, now need another performance next week to avoid a scrap with Swinton for promotion.

Great 2nd half.

As others have said, Pelts and Flanagan made a real impact.

Chissy was outstanding in the 2nd half. 40/20, perfect kick to Hitchcox and the long looping pass to Ryan to top it all off.

Top class today, Chisholm on top of his game and that pass to Ryan superb. Whilst not ripping up trees I thought that was Kirk's best performance for the club, ran hard, no errors that I can recall and defense spot on. Tough tough game next week that I for one will doing everything I can to get to.

Oh and I remembered I had been to Odsal this season, coincidently versus Oldham on the Friday night game!

What was attendance?
