Totally agree with the above comment's and for me there is little to say. I will be at the game tomorrow with my children.

Totally agree with the above post re Buster. No disregard to Buster but it totally sums the state of the sport. The disappointing thing is we as fans are expected to pay full time prices for what is essentially an amateur sport, in every sense of the word. From players going on holiday halfway through the season to the league being run where not every team plays each other twice!!

I think there is a bigger picture to all this though guys.

1. Buster booked this while we were in above league and if we had stayed up there would be no problem as we would have had no game today.

2. He agreed to leave the club last year and the club knew about this when he returned. If it was not an issue then why is it now?

3. How many other players have missed games this year? Can't be different rules depending who you are!

4. Why mention this in the most important week of the season? Poor management from Mr March.

I could go on but instead it is time to turn my thoughts to today. A must win game for me and now it is here lets go and win today.

Mon today the Cougars.

Interesting post HC ...... thanks for the info, Busters character was starting to be blacken due to poor info.

Once again thanks for putting the record straight.

Whilst he has form for this, when has a 3 month stadium ban ever been applied to anyone else. There are plenty of gobsh*te coaches i can think of. Unfair treatment because of his reputation maybe, but also there were other circumstances such as the 3 points deduction farce etc. We actually have a fairly mediocre team and my opinion is he is probably coaching to a reasonable standard. We finished fifth from bottom, which in any normal year is probably OK in that league however five went down. Pretty unlucky in my eye.


Golden boy, who left for Hunslet last year, then came back in farcical circumstances. Id be interested to know when he booked his 3 week holiday


Ive seen on Facebook today that March is visiting a stage 4 cancer sufferer, young lad in LGI who asked if Cougars could visit him

This season we finished second, had a pretty significant injury crisis and oh yes ive just remembered had our stand off pass away on the field. The results whilst under expectation arent that bad, the Oldham game was doomed the minute it was to be played at Whitebank. We have another chance and on the back of a pretty impressive display in the second half. I will revisit to see if my opinion has changed on March and the team on Sunday at about 4pm.

I stand by by everything i have posted, how did March know about this? Dave and Donna, and all your family we truly thought this had been beaten. March has not been unfairly treated, he has tried to push the envelope and is found to be totally lacking in judgement when it really matters. Think on, appologiesi to the Mynott family, but which golden boy would most people prefer, March or Buster, i am sure who has contributed more to the Cougars over tbe years. I am also sure who is able to contribute more in the coming years.
