Its almost worth going to Donnie to cheer them on against the dogcheats. Not sure we can beat Fev but you never know.

Donnie cheats v dog cheats eh ? INOUT

Just back from Dewsbury. What a very poor display. Only 4 players seemed to want to be there nevermind win. Very upset that one of our wingers seemed to find mistakes funny. !! We are true fans with season tickets for next season bought. Come on lads give us a whole hearted display next Sunday. Send Shick of on a high..

Batley vs Donny. An exceptionally cheaty game

Yes there's still hope. If Batley beat Donny fair play really. Same if we beat Fev which is certainly possible. Looks like we are seriously off the boil though.

Whoever stays up will do so on a couple of good results now. The DR scandal is still gonna leave a very bad taste all round.

Well lets make it simple for you then

cheats v CHEATS

Is that a little easier for you to understand ?

We just seem to have an inherent ability to commit suicide. Dewsbury played a better game than us, but to be honest that didn't take much. The amount of times we either gave the ball away, or a dumb penalty, gave them more pressure on our line than they would otherwise have had.

However, we had enough chances in the first half of our own, but either poor decision making or poor handling left us dry. We should have had at least one try, possibly two. That would have made the second half a real contest.

We upped the pressure in the second but repeatedly failed to put together any sort of fluent or co-ordinated attack with players often catching the ball flat footed. There were enough gaps in the Dewsbury defence for a man running onto the ball at full pace to penetrate.

I've thought about it for a couple of hours but remain pretty peed off, just bought two season tickets for next year and I expected the players to show the same level of commitment in return. Expected a blood and thunder display and got a damp squib.

Bloody well peed off.

Well if we played a team that cared about the future of Keighley RLFC we might have a different result rather than those who were more concerned about a couple of hundred quid in their pocket ....and yes I'm biased ....but see the Widnes game for details...

Well said Rach , sums it up just right.

I agree with you in part Rach, but then I don't begrudge players getting a decent wage. I would imagine that some of the team are on decent contracts over and above winning pay, and again that's fair enough. What I expect in return is real commitment and that starts on the training field. All these problems we are seeing should have been ironed out and we should have a plan with multi options on how to break the opposition down. We had plenty of time to prepare for Dewsbury.

It's not even that the players didn't put in effort, many of them did, but bad passes, fumbled ball and stupid careless penalties ruined any flow we had and gave them good field position.

Maybe the players are as frustrated and furious as I am, I just can't remember being as peed off in a long time.

What Batley did was wrong and they should have been deducted points, but we have had plenty of chances to make ourselves safe. Some of our past players and coaches will be baffled and incredulous. This is not an indictment of Marchy, but could you imagine the dressing room at half time with JD or especially Peter Roe? I remember watching a game against Doncaster in which they thrashed us 20 nil in the first half. After a half time "talk" from Peter psycho smashing chairs fist through doors Roe, we came out like our lives depended on it and murdered them. Admittedly coaches can't do that often but there needs to be something that gets the passion and adrenalin flowing.

Fev need the win on Sunday and if we continue to play like we have they will be out of sight in the first half. The only way we are stopping up now is if Batley or Whitehaven loose badly, which is possible.

Signed

Very peed off.

We have on paper a very experienced team. Many of the players played last year so understand the relegation dog fight. You'd also surely be expecting new players like Handforth to be directing the ship in times of need, but I don't see that happening. I have real concerns regarding the togetherness of the squad. I genuinely feel Marchy does not have that ability to lift a team like JD or our past coaches did. This may not be in his make-up so is not a criticism as such, but something that IMO is needed to coach at this level. I am sure JD wasn't liked by all the squad and tough decisions need to be made. He was respected and I am sure when he spoke others listened. I just don't get that feeling with Marchy and he probably sees himself as one of the lads rather than their coach. I am not convinced by his prep and tactics and we also don't seem as fit as we could be. I could be way off, but all does not seem harmonious which could well be contributing to our demise.

Survive or not, I think those in charge of our club need to make some tough decisions. If we stay up are we delaying the inevitable? Next season will be tough and given that Marchy intends to re-sign on the majority of the current squad will we kick on from where we are now. I am not so sure and think some changes need to be made.

You are both cheats

You should both be punished.

The only fitting punishment for cheating of this type is points deduction. I would have said that whoever the side.

No, both cheats. I just put it in capitals so you would know which team was Batley
