Oldham trio available

Date published: 08 April 2016


SCOTT Naylor has confirmed Danny Langtree, Adam Files and Danny Grimshaw are available for selection in his Oldham side to host the full-timers of Sheffield Eagles at Bower Fold on Sunday (3pm).

Hooker Files (stomach bug) and half-back Grimshaw, who picked up a knock at Swinton, missed the 28-12 win against Batley, while second-row man Langtree, a pillar of strength for Roughyeds over the last three seasons, has sat-out the last three games with a hamstring injury.

Dual-registration players from Huddersfield Giants will also be available, as they have been in the last three games against Halifax, Swinton and Batley.

Giants’ teenagers Liam Johnson and Tyler Dickinson played in each of those games, but Naylor isn’t prepared to reveal which Giants players will be on Roughyeds duty this time until he has announced the team at training tomorrow. Dual-reg players apart, he will have 18 players to choose from.
