By a country mile?

Swifty,can you not find an ounze of respect for Keighleys efforts?I couldnt attend the game last night and as a Keighley supporter i was extremely proud of our efforts,I watched on sky so whilst you talk about forward passes etc and all that the cougars were doing wrong,did you notice the high amounts of head shots on our lads the ref missed?well if you want to be pedantic?! other then that,it was a really entertaining game and my soft spot for fax will continue,i want your lads to win the league,but im convinced if we continue to play like that against the lesser teams for the remainder of the season the GREAT ESCAPE may be on.

Much improved I thought, but still way off where we need to be. Too many dropped balls - can Calland be held responsible for these? Bowman was at fault for 2 of the tries, but he had a good game I thought and once he understands the defensive patterns (!) he'll be ok.

For me, Branighan was always the key signing in close season, he was going to bring a lot of structure and pressure to our game. Black, Penky, Beswick and Gleeson are off the cuff players. I really do think once we get Branighan back we'll see a much improved side - the signs were there at the start of the season and I think things'll pick up once he's back.

Looks like Aizue, Wrench and White are the ones who've taken the fall for the 3 lost games?

See i told you all it will come all good.You just had a blip in form and is better now than at the end of the season.I feel leigh and fev wheels will fall off near to the playoffs.For me Fax,barrow and widnes are the best teams in this league.

I thought we played pretty well all in all last night. I was pleased with Black, Maloney and a few others.

Much better performance and I didn't think there were as many 'silly' errors. We were more patient in attack and didn't push trying to score on the first tackle. Much improved from my perspective, lets keep moving forward fax

Do you lot want fish with all the chips on your shoulders, whilst you were the better team overall the scoreline did not reflect the game as a whole, we deserved at least a bonus point but it was not to be.

As for cougars holding down get a grip please you were no better you just had blinkers on.

I thought your scrum half was very good not sure of his name, Gene flatterd to decieve and appears based on that performance past his best.

Danny Jones clearly deserved man of match as decided by sky panel and its not often a player on losing team gets the award, well done Danny.

The new stand looked good though

Well done Fax,better team won,JUST.

Thought your stadium was impressive,but your supporters very quiet.
Hope you make it to the GF.

Really enjoyed the game last night. At one moment I dared to dream ..... As a Cougar fan I love coming to the Shay, and last season came to matches to watch Halifax when we had no game. Dont forget it was our third game in six daysas well, we have some very young players, and we are on minus points and recovering from administration. Our spirit really shines through right up till the end. Enoyed the game apart from an obnoxious Fax fan throwing away comments about all people from Keighley are cripples and we were on a hiding to nothing. Fortunately he was just one . Hope you get to Super League, new stand looked great and enjoyed the band.

No, it was even further forward than that. An NFL Quarterback would have been proud.



For effort and desire, yes. Exectuction, no. You might be giddy as you're playing so well but no offence and I'm not being condascending, we've seen so much better from 'Fax and our expectations are way up there. Maybe that's where we fall down.



Cougars were playing to the ref who wasn't standing them up quick enough, fatigue possibly a factor. Then we started doing it in the 2nd half. We had teams doing it all last season and it's continuing this season.

That's something we've had to learn this season that playing the ref is almost as important as playing the 13 men in front of you.

I get the impression that the refs have been told to cut defenders a bit more slack at the PTB this season and it's lessened the spectacle of the game a bit.

Not sure about the other 2 but wrench is out because of injury

I think Keighley may stay up!

Haven are crud
Dewsbury have already been smashed
Batley could be turned over

Widnes, Barrow, Leigh, Fev are partial to a banana skin every now and then

If they keep the team spirit and work rate why not?

Hey I would love Whitehaven to go down, annoyed me the way they have beat us time after time even with a very average team the last 2 years plus I hate the trip up there add to that some of their fans got a bit obnoxious a couple of trips up there, I would prefer Keighley to stay up anyday.
