Lets also not forget the negative tactics from keighley... constant holding down and spoiling the ruck didn't help any fluency of the game. A better ref would have penalised them more... but then again it was probably hicks 3rd game in 6 days too...

Took us over an hour to get going but not bad considering our performances of late. And well done to Keighley.

Special mention to Maloney, Black, Gene and Haley who all went well tonight.

agree, there looked a lot of forward passes too that went keighley way.

Its only constant holding down and spoiling the ruck if the ref gives it

I thought the Cougars did well.

Were you stood behind the posts?

Aye but that was one occasion you were saying it was happening all game

Anyone able to fill me in where the extra thousand people were hiding throughout the game?

A win's a win, let's win ugly until we can build sets, possession & position. These are games we should be winning and are winning, no drama's let's hang in there, it'll come together soon.
No complaints from me.

Know what your saying mate, but today was a good opportunity for us to learn to build pressure-and we failed. Swinton is another good opportunity to do this as well. I would really like Calland to tell his players just play basic football more. That means no silly passes, running on to the ball and then a good kick at the end. In defence, better linespeed and winning the floor. Get the first man to hold them up for a second and a second man coming in and SLOWLY putting them on the floor-this allows the defence time to get back. . Control the speed of the ball and the pace of the game. If we cant do it against the lower sides then we have no chance against the big guns. A win is a win but for me I am looking for more. Maybe thats wrong.

Hey, hold on, clairefaxfan love, that's copyrighted!! I only at a jab at yer the other day cos I know you could never be mine!

Its a win and at times we looked more like where we want to be, Blacky got a terrific break a bit like his old self for one of our tries - at last back yours elf more Blacky you are more dangerous when you run at teams.
Wish we would stop coughing up the ball in our own 20 which set up 2 of their tries tonight, why the long passes on the 1st or 2nd tackles in front of our line???
Keighley cut out the errors and played the last 30 minutes without spilling the ball, very impressive and they did try hard. But we showed how much better than them we are at times we should have 'put them to bed' in the first half and not given thema sniff.
But happier, some players are still out of form like Goddard (2 poor tackles for 2 of their tries) but others are playing better like Patterson and Blacky.
we can get better, it will come we just need to play more possession rugby when we need to and stop Penky kicking the ball!

yes, and could still see the final keighley try was from another forward pass.

terrific 3 points, we can beat anyone in this league if we play like that
