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?

Best performance of the season. Yes we turned on the style in the second half, but for me the game was arguably won in the first. We played smart and worked hard. Set for set, no silly errors, no let up in intensity and that allowed the gaps to appear later on. It's what we've lacked all season. We play like that next week. We win.

Shout out to Jack Smith as well. Referees get bagged but i thought that was a fine performance. When the Oldham winger threw the ball away after our 40/20, how many times have we seen the referee stop the clock, allow the offending team to set their line while he has a word. Great officiating to whip out the yellow. If we have as strong a ref for the final, Worky will struggle as they won't have a weak referee allowing them to do it time and time again. A lot of the refs who we've seen "old-manned" by certain teams should watch Smith's performance today.

How about someone on here asking today's ref how much he got paid for today, then we have a whip round and fund him for next week....like we've done before

Credit where it's due... best performance of the season... near on perfect. Well done

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

Looks like some of them grubby tactics have started on social media...

Ethans dad i think has tweeted something about the Bulls smashing Workington next week (little bit silly as it will be a tough game), Leon has then quoted it and obviously trying to get a reaction. Obviously the social media guy who also obviously loves us from his work from when they beat us last time has also quoted it. Amateur hour. I think Leon will make a superb coach, but when a coach or the clubs OFFICAL Twitter account start trying to pick fights with opposition fans on social media, i'll give up. I really hope we wallop them next week.
