What was your experience? I didn't have any issues at all.

We had a couple of Cas lads for a few games last season but that was it. You'll not find many Keighley supporters with anything good to say about DR. Without a doubt it was introduced to be of benefit to the Super League clubs and any perceived benefit for clubs at our level is very much a secondary consideration.

So having now looked at the DR players, the real score was Keighley 12, Wigan 12 and Workington 4.... I always feel angry when a DR play affects the outcome of a game. It just feels very unfair with so much at stake and the gulf between full time and part time players being so great.

Does sound quite a poor mistake that the programme was mislabelled. At a semi-professional club on a tight budget I guess these type of things will happen occasionally.

Well done Workington on the win, Keighley weren't on good form. Workington were all over us in the tackles and really slowed us down playing the ball.

We've really got to get every league point possible from now on... it's going to be close at the end of the season.

I am not a Town fan I just attend matches here and there. However, no-one said anything about young Murphy last year when he spent the full season at South Wales and as far as I know he has played all but 1 of Town's games this season He is 22 and has played 2 SL games for Wigan, one of these being a couple of weeks ago to cover for Charnley. Tierney is 19 and has played 3 SL games for Wigan. These lads do need 15 others on the team sheet in order to perform so it isn't just a case of saying that because they are attached to a SL team they have to be world beaters. Every Championship team has the same chance of teaming up with a SL team those are the rules and if Keighley think they don't need to then fair do's but even Fev have now come round to the idea!!!

Bit harsh .....

The Programme Editor is , like most clubs equivalent in Championship n Championship 1 , a hard working and un paid volunteer, who did not deserve the personal and unjustified ***p that they put up with from certain parts of the Town following on Sunday .. so much so he is thinking of quitting his post for next season

There was no hidden agenda , no smart d quotes about DR , it was quite simply a mistake from the Printers , nothing more nothing less ..get over it ..

I edited the programme for two years and can completely sympathize , how ever good your original copy was, you can guarantee the printer will make one massive spherical object at least once a season ..our 2014 monster was Sunday ..

If you want to slate volunteers , please go ahead , I'm sure every club at our level exist on similar devoted and committed folk giving their own time and I'm sure they too would welcome 'constructive' comments like yours on a public forum ......

Workington 4 Cougars 12.

Wigan 12 Cougars 12.

Probably best merging Workington and Whitehaven then wouldn't need dual reg and play from haven stadium as is much better

That'll guarantee a Cumberland Club in Super League but, just as suggested merger with the Northern, it will never happen.

By the way, have I missed something that is important?

With 2 clubs being relegated from SL and 4 from the Championship, and 2 being promoted from C1, if we finish in 10th position aren't we safe?

I've not read this anywhere but I have like many people been under the impression that there are to be 5 clubs relegated from the championship this season???

I'd heard it was 5 too

Feel a bit sad I wrote this post but it was just
after Sundays dire performance.Ilike everyone
else want our club to survive in this division.
I agree with Halifax they will be more twists and
turns to come but Sunday was such a big game
it was so deflating to see a performance like
that.We missed Danny Jones and Danny Lawton
big style,Danny Lawton IMO being one of the
best if not the best player this season.It is five
teams down this season lets just hope we are
not one of them,come on COUGARS!

2 clubs relegated from SL (Dulls and London); 1 club promoted from Championship 1, and clubs in championsjip reduced to 12 from 14 = 5 clubs go down so we need to fish 9th or better.

There's still Batley, dewsbury, Whitehaven, Workington, Sheffield and Keighley fighting for 9th spot. Beating Workington would have helped, but we didn't get thrashed and picked up a point and remain above them even though we played garbage. We are going to lose more games but if we can keep scores down I think we will stay up. Everyone has similar fixtures coming up, at least the ground now has free wifi to check the scores!

I felt the same on Sunday but made the decision not to go mad, i have since calmed down. It is 5 down without doubt, time for us to step up but it will be hard at Leigh without PH.

Why will Cougars be without Paul Handforth at Leigh?
