ANGRY Oldham coach Steve Deakin blasted his players after another humilating defeat - their 21st on the trot - and insisted: "I am getting fed up of defending people."

His side led 18-10 at the break but folded in the second half when Swinton, inspired by four-try centre Darren Woods, ran in a match-clinching 18 points in a 15-minute spell.

Last season's beaten Grand Finalists made it look simple but it was made all that easier by some dreadful defending.

Deakin added: "I am massively disappointed but must take some blame because I pick the team. We are too soft."
