Oldham's win at Dull KR was marred by a couple of incidents off the field.

Whilst Oldham fans were scrapping with the home supporters in the popular side, Oldham chairman Chris Hamilton was assaulted as he left his seat in the stand to congratulate the Oldham players as they left the field. “As I walked back towards the tunnel,” he said, “I saw a group of Hull KR fans on the terraces. They spat at me and I was hit on the side of my face and on my shoulder. I accepted the apology of the Hull KR club and as far as I’m concerned that’s the end of the matter."

Oldham will be without Kiwi forward Bryan Henare for Sunday's crunch game - he suffered a recurrence of knee trouble at Craven Park.
