Naylor hoping for more

SCOTT Naylor is keen to extend Danny Whitmore's loan period at Oldham.
The Batley Bulldogs' player, here for a month, hinted after his first game at Hemel Stags that a longer stay couldn't be ruled out.
And coach Naylor has since confirmed he would like to include 23-year-old Whitmore in his half-back plans on an open-ended agreement.
He said: "It would suit me to have him here for as long as John Kear (Batley boss) would allow it.
“Hopefully we can sort something out. Danny would like that and so would we.”
Naylor never gives much away on team selection early in the week.
But having seen Roughyeds score six tries in a 30-12 win in Hertfordshire, he is unlikely to make much change for Sunday's visit of Gateshead Thunder to Whitebank (1pm).
Salford's highly-rated young centre, Jon Ford, played on dual registration at Hemel and sent in his winger, Dale Bloomfield, for two of his three tries.
Naylor hopes to retain Ford's services for the Gateshead game and possibly bring in a second player from Salford on dual registration.
He added: "The decision to play some of the boys in the under-20s game against York worked out well and I should have a fully-fit squad available.”
