Where are all the critics

Quote: avebullswon "Or have you just not been to a match yet this year. I suppose silence must mean you are happy with what you have seen so far?

I for one am more than happy with what I have seen so far. If we continue to play rugby like I have seen in these first two games then the results on the whole will look after themselves. Even if we lose so long as I am seeing the brand of rugby I have seen so far it will be a Sunday afternoon well spent. The coach has so far lived up to what he quoted at the questions/answers session held (ie open rugby with the realisation that mistakes will happen and therefore the want to defend is as key as attacking). To that end there was a period of play due to a couple of mistakes that meant we were on our own line defending for at least six sets of consecutive tackles and held out. (awesome). Attacking wise, it was so varied that no opposition team will be able to prepare fully for what is thrown at them. To see passes going wide early in the tackle count and players running on to the ball and forwards having the nerve and skill to offload is so refreshing to see. Please continue. Re - the "boo boys/girls".
To be fair, there has been a lot to be dissatisfied with, but it does seem to be part of some peoples make up that they want to moan. They live for predicting doom, gloom and downfall and that precious moment when they can pump their chest out and cry "I told you so". It is not unique to Keighley Cougars.

Re- the results so far. Let's face it we've only played two friendlies, and as good as they have been, let's not get carried away. However, it's great to see that a new coach and a young team have brought such a refreshing attitude to the game and played such entertaining rugby in both attack and defence.

I still think this division will be tough and finishing in the top five will be quite an achievement and lay the platform for next year. We need to try to win most of our home games to get the crowd back.

I think Batley will be too experienced for us but nevertheless should be an interesting game. Good to see the entrance fee is £10.
