Coach: We need to up our game

Roughyeds remain unbeaten after three league games and a Challenge Cup tie — and are still falling well below the standards coach Scott Naylor wants.

“Once we get it right - properly right - somebody is going to cop it,” summed up the Oldham boss, while admitting London Skolars were unlucky to lose.

Oldham edged a tight game 18-16, Naylor conceding that his men were fortunate to take all three points.

He said: “I’m happy with the result, but I’ve got to be honest and say London didn’t deserve to lose. But sometimes in rugby you don’t get what you deserve — it’s happened to us more than once.

“Ours was an ugly win, which isn’t a bad thing, but focuses the mind that at present we don’t seem to be clicking as a team.

“We are working hard in training and also on game day. I can’t fault anybody’s attitude or commitment, but something is missing.

“Once we solve the problem we’ll be a very good team in this division, as we were last year, but as of now things aren’t quite right.
