We have 4 big matches uping up Gateshead (H) then London Skolars (H) then off to Gloucestershire All Golds and back home for a big match with Oldham, so i think we need to win 3 out of 4 and the B/Points off the other one.

So with Gateshead up next

in there last 4 match Gateshead have score 106pts and have let in 106pts and ORL score 104pts and let in 134pts in are last 4 matches, well ?? For me this is one of my 3 wins it will big a big match for both teams as the table show

6. Gateshead 9 4 5 0 239 281 -42 2 14
7. ORL 9 4 5 0 233 279 -46 1 13

So as i said ORL win by 6+

How about you ??

Difficult to predict this one until we see which Hull KR players trot out for them. Hopefully the long journey will give a decisive home advantage. Realistically it's a big game for both teams. Not quite a must win but.....

ORL Team news.

Valu Bentley (knee), Andrew Hoggins (knee), Sam Blaney (hip) and Jimmy Rowland (hamstring) are set for late fitness tests. Chris Clarke (rib) definitely misses out, but Karl Temata should make his home debut.

Oxford RL squad: Baird, Benson, Bentley, Blaney, Briggs, Brooker, Connick, Crabtree, Davies, Ellison, Evans, Hadden, Hayles, Hoggins, S.Morris, Mulkeen, Osborn, Rowland, Rice, Sharratt, Temata, Thompson, Newton, Winfield.

Oxford coach Tony Benson expects Sean Morris and Andrew Hoggins to both be available for Sunday’s against Gateshead Thunder. However, Valu Bentley is a major doubt after suffering another injury blow.

Loan signing Joel Farrell could come into contention for Thunder after joining on a one-month deal from Dewsbury Rams.
