Owen had a nightmare game last night , i watched Keighley last Sunday against Leigh , their full back that afternoon was far better .

I meantioned on the other thread about him warming tansey up against wigan.

was like watching a moody child having a strop.

I don't think his ego can take playing for Keighley (no offence to the cougars whatsoever)

When?


I remember him having a very good game when we beat Huddersfield 13-6 away, in 2009. Other then that, you can count on an abacus his good games. Class act. Don't make me laugh.

Is it worth pointing out that you can count up to quite a lot on an abacus?

Balances out when you take into consideration he had a year with us in NL1. Plus I wanted to avoid the use of fingers due to the inevitable troll response.

I was at the game yesterday and it was obvious that he had no intrest in playing at the 'lower' level, he didn't even do the same warm up as the rest of the team and stood out like a sore thumb. I understand players have there own routine but this was a blatant im better that you statement as the other dual reg players did the warm up with the Keighley side. Showed him up for what he is.

OMG I came on here thinking I may be the first person to comment on Owens performance last night on Premier Sports.
For the record I'm not a Cas fan, but I did start showing an interest when rumour had it that Cas might be interested in Jimmy Watson from the Rhinos. I am a big fan of him (playing dual reg for Hunslet at the mo); but anyway it didn't or hasn't yet come off and may never happen anyway.

Anyway, I don't like Owen or anything about him, but to be fair, I have never met him either but just have this opinion of him.

Last night he was appalling! Missed a number of what would deemed to be 'bread and butter' catches for a full back and lots of other silly mistakes. His whole persona and body language really did look like he wasn't interested and you could almost read his thoughts being "What the heck am I doing here"?

Keighley are half the team they were last year and it showed. But if I was the manager of Keighley I would have serious doubts on playing him in that position again. It is sometimes quite hard to shine if you are playing at a lower level and you are not getting much ball. But what you would do, is all the basic thing correctly. If he doesn't get a shot again in this team then it could be curtains for him.

Owen did our teams junior presentation in the summer, he did a great job and the kids loved it. He had a mare last night but weve all had them games and i think he is just lacking some confidence

Don't let a little thing like confidence get in the way off all the hatred, some fans have for the lad

owen is a good player. he needs time to get back into the grove, he also needs managing a little better. I would hate to see the club make similar mistakes to those they made in relation to westerman & watts

definitely better than Clare.

Heard he is training with Oulton Raiders. But they might not play him after last weeks performance.

Always thought he was pretty overrated.

When you say over-rated that means that someone or a group of people rated him highly at some point. Who are/were this/these individuals ? I can't remember him ever been rated highly by anyone - even the Cas fans.

Comes to something when a fev fan is having to defend one of your players, give the lad a chance
