Just read on club site Greg Nicholson out for a while with slipped disc. Also the club have received offer from a championship for Neil Lowe.

Greg has been one of the best and consistent players in my opinion.

bye bye Neil.

Bad luck Greg, he seems to have put a lot of work in during the off season and we are a better team for it.

Keighley Cougars injury troubled season continued with the news that loose forward Greg Nicholson will be ruled out for between three and four weeks with a slipped disc in his back.

Barry Eaton, the Keighley Cougars Head Coach, said: “It’s the story of our year so far. We get one player back from injury and then lose another. Last week Karl Gunney came back into the side after his hamstring injury and now we’ve lost Greg.

“Our physiotherapist Nigel Bondswell says that Greg can be treated but it could take three to four weeks for him to recover.

“Greg’s now having daily treatment as part of his rehabilitation programme.

“The good news is the Carl Hughes has stepped up his training as he recovers from his ankle ligament injury and we hope to have him back in the side very soon”.

Prop Craig Brown is unlikely to be in the reckoning for this Sunday’s Co-operative Championship One game at Blackpool Panthers.

His foot injury is responding to treatment but Eaton says: “We’ve decided to give him another weekend off because he’s still not moving as freely as we’d hoped.

“Now he’s got another week of rest and that should see him back to full fitness.”

In the meantime it looks as though Scottish World Cup squad back row forward Neil Lowe will be leaving the Cougars as they have received a serious enquiry from another Championship club.

Keighley said they would listen to offers for Lowe after he refused to play in a reserve team fixture.

The club have signed a forward from workington called ryan benjafield a former penrith panthers who has played for hull and rochdale, best thin is he as british passport so not on quota.

I have seen Benjafield play and he is quite a good player, and a good signing for us.

I just wonder if we are gonna sign the Whitehaven player we have been linked with(Ryan ?? can't remember his last name)

As for Neil Lowe, I think since the world cup, he has gotten a bad attitude, I watched the Oldham game on DVD and he gave Greg Nicholson a right bollocking for a missed tackle, and a few mins later, he missed one.

I hope we have turned the corner now and can win away, and hopefully have a 1st v 2nd when we play dewsbury.

Its Mcdonald and I doubt it to be honest, apparently he lives in Cumbria and would be unlikely to travel.
