ORLFC coach Steve Molloy is again faced with another injury crisis and will be forced to pick a makeshift team........

ROUGHYEDS V HAWKS

Oldham's opponents this Sunday are Hunslet Hawks, who are considered to be one of the NFP's weaker sides. This should have been an easy victory for the Roughyeds, but with a growing injury list player-coach Steve Molloy will be forced to pick a makeshift team.

Full-back Joe McNicholas is definetly ruled out due to work commitments as are John Braddish (ankle injury)and Phil Farrell(shoulder injury), also doudtfull are Joey Hayes and Jon Goddard. Hayes injured his kneee in last weeks match against Huddersfield Giants and Goddard sustained a groin injury in training. Molloy may also be forced to sit the game out after again aggrevating a cut above his eye.

Gavin Dodd may be included amongst the substitutes and Anthony Gibbons could also be pressed back into action earlier than the club would have liked.
