Yes we had a decent game today, scored some good tries. Still had some soft defence at times. But Newcastle will play a lot faster and harder than Hemel did today. We can do it, but we need to keep stepping up the intensity and not get carried away by the big win.

666 was aware of the score throughout!

Keighley never needed to get out of 1st gear for this game(and they didn't look like they wanted to sometimes) however some nice tries, Handforth controlled centre field. But also some soft tries conceded and at 20-38 Hemel had their tails up (albeit for a couple of minutes only).

My gripes-

1 we didn't utilise the wind at all!!! And it was windy

2 fans travel 200 miles (some of us only 55) and the team spend 5 minutes doing pointless attempts at warm down stretching, before half heartedly acknowledging the fans on their way off the pitch

3 no announcements over loud speaker system

The wind was very blustery and blowing across field. I thought unlike previous Keighley games (versus North Wales last season) where we fell foul of windy conditions I thought we managed the wind today pretty well and minimised risks. Hemel put kicks out on the full more than we did ( I think we did once and that was a couple of inches too far onto the whitewash).

So he's selfish as well as dictatorial?

In fairness 2 of there tries were not particularly from bad defence, the first being an interception from a speculative Danny J pass ( I breath in a lot when they get floated out) and another was just clever play by Hemel running into a gap created by a stumbling referee , who had to give the try whilst flat on his face. Quite funny.

Top, Top, Top of the League - we are top of the League!! It's OK, I don't get chance to say that much these days!
