I think a lot of people post on Cougarmania FB page and Twitter these days, it’s the way of the world, and we all better get used to it I am afraid. I do tend to agree with Dreamer about this forum, and for me it’s got a bit like reading Statler and Waldorf script on hear, (if I have to explain that remark, then it proves my point).
But I would just like to try and put things into context, as there seems to be a few people with very short memories. For me the sad loss of Danny cannot be underestimated on a playing level, as well as a personal level for all the players. Tiger and Danny would have been the dominate half back pairing in this league by a country mile. Buster took a serious knock early in the Swinton Game back in May, (up until that point we were unbeaten in the League) he is now clearly struggling with the effects from that injury and in my opinion needs some time on the side lines, none come any braver than him on the field, so I think someone needs to take that decision for him. Sean Kelly looked more than capable of stepping up to the mark and gave us a different option at hooker, a serious injury ended that option for this year. Jodie Sherriffe has been one of the best props in the competition, again another season ending injury, and now we have both Ash and Tiger out for at least 8 weeks, and maybe the rest of the season. Ash was on course to be in contention for the player of the season in league 1, and Tiger a fantastic organiser and reader of the game and the on field General, add to that Lawton out injured (he has been in superb form with the boot), Scott Lee looks like another long term injury, also Daley Williams not available. Big Ross has had some problems, which means he has fallen down the pecking order and needs to prove his commitment. On the holiday front not much to say on that apart from these guys are only semi-pro most have full time work outside of the game, and probably have to fit holidays in with their main employer it’s is always going to be a balancing act between the 2 jobs, It’s the nature of sport at this level, and this has been an issue for players since the switch to summer Rugby.
Just to sum up if anybody still thinks we should walk this league, they need a reality check, it was always going to be tough there are some quality teams in this League (along with a few not so good), this is real backs to the wall stuff from now till the end of the season, and would test any coach to the limits, if we do get out of league 1 this year, and considering the circumstances then I would consider it one of the biggest achievements in the Clubs modern day history.

Sorry about that, I shouldn't let facts get in the way of a good rant on here, anyway how are you managing to type ? lol

Using my nose.

Common sense? On here? I'm off for a stiff drink and a lie down.

It happens more than you know.
