Went to Cougar's squad launch last night as I live in Keighley thought I'd have a look at the Boxing Day’s opposition, got to say they've signed on paper what should be a very strong squad. I hope they do well except against us.
The night was started with their Chairman getting on stage to announce another new signing 'Semi Tadulala' along with rest of his squad. Then said they would be defo' top four this season, also be making a trip to Blackpool and then promised all present that they would beat FAX by AT LEAST 20 points on boxing day. Said that other championship teams had been moaning about all their suppa doopa signings named Batley who’d supposedly said cougars couldn’t be within their salary cap said that Fax had been asking him how to get sponsorship cos he’s so good at getting it. Finished meeting saying that this was all in order to get Cougars into Super Doopa League in next round of franchises.
I actually spoke to him after and he repeated again that it was not a empty promise ref' boxing day and said that the reason Fax didn't get into Super League was cos our application was the worst written document that the RFL had ever seen, I hope the Mr Steele reads this and bumps into him on boxing day. Got the impression he doesn’t think very highly of how our club is run.
God I can’t wait for Boxing Day now. COME ON FAX!

I think most of us knew that.

The Keighley Chairman made some big claims prior to the game, shame no one took him on with a bet giving Keighley a 20 start, would have been easy money, would be nice for him to show now he his better than Des and not an egotistical chairman and make a donation to a local charity or similar, or is he going to have the coach in his office in the morning and send him packing?

I think our chairman just feels the need to fire up the fans. We know we won't be looking at superleague anytime soon, we'll settle for a competitive championship side and an increase in the gate for now!
The one thing we really need is more of the town getting behind the team. We know the ground's not up to scratch (apart from the bar!) but the chairman has to appear positive, can't blame him for that!

As I have said many times before, I like your bar and your chips are great.
I quite like your ground and I personally wish Keighley Cougars every success.

...quality burgers too, this season!
