Wonder if Josh (Lynham) is heading to Northern Pride?

Frustration abounds but let's all (staying and new players & all fans) stick together and come back defiant and strong next season.

Aye, he's had a great season. Can't blame the lad for wanting to broaden his horizons. Hope he plays a bit of RL over there, learns a lot, then comes back to Keighley after we've been promoted
.
Sorry to see the other lads go too. Understandable but I'd really rather it wasn't Batley.

Got a third and final departure of the day to announce, James Haley has retired.

Shame for James he is a good lad.

A big loss is this. Always gave 100%

James Craven: On the whole a goog fullback, produced some fine last man tackles, ran the ball out well and scored some wonderful tries. However, occasionally week under the high ball ( allowing it to bounce), and flails at kick throughs.

Sean Hesketh, big lad, big hits, big bust with an offload. However, a bit flat footed against nimble attackers and in my opinion a tad overweight/ unfit.

Josh lynam, fleet, nimble, hard hitting and a cougar through and through, sad to loose him but inevitable if he wants to progress his career. Good luck Josh.

James Haley, very strong, very determined, sad to see him go.

Looks like the team are looking at the worse case scenario and acting accordingly. A bit hard to chew on the fact that some are going to Batley but that's life. I just hope we are able to recruit some suitable replacements.

Another two departures to announce:

Jack Lee has joined Fryston Warriors and James Craven will also be leaving the club, you know where but I'm not allowed to say it officially.

Good news that Law, Sheriffe and cherryholme are staying. Along with buster and Brendan we have the basis to build a pack around. Would be nice to see a big rollicking enforcer type forward recruited.

??? What makes you think one of the best props in the division whats to drop down a league?

Would have liked to have held onto Jack Lee as he looked good in all the games he played but I think work commitments may have had a say in his choice of clubs. I hear that, despite him being on nights, he turned up for training on a regular basis. Good luck Jack!

Is it possible to stop all of this comment and conjecture until the case against the Rugby Football League is settled, hopefully in our favour?

Why not put your energy into getting more signatures on the Petition as 'petty bickering' about who is going and who is staying and 'I know this' or 'I know that' is no help whatsoever.

Should we win our apparently 'good case' against the RFL, with Sheffield's help and joint support, then those who have 'jumped ship' have shown their true colours. Equally so have those players who have committed themselves to the Cougar Cause and must be supported.

If you haven't already done so, will you please sign the Petition which is not only for the good of Keighley Cougars and Sheffield Eagles but the benefit of the Game in general.

After all, the RFL have shown that it is OK to break Rules and go unpunished. Are they a truly fit and proper organisation to run our Game?

.... Jack has changed is job to days... as from last week,, regular days

666, Marchy is preparing the squad with the budget to compete in League One.

Unfortunately, when it comes to signing players and letting them go, we'll be doing under the restraints of being a League One club hence why we're making the announcements at the times we are.

The Rugby League World won't stop why the RFL probably screw us over again despite breaking there own rules.
