Charlie thought the best team lost yesterday , no doubt the Cougars played very well , but we still should have won with comfort , I think we started to believe our own press reports , Higson scored 2 good tries from Ryan Bs passes and should have had 2 more , Ryan please look where you are passing to , Higgy is not 10ft tall

.



Still a wins a win , 3 points is all that matters , roll on Friday night , the travelling fans were good to see , lets hope we put this game behind us and kick on for the rest of the Season , good to Maurice mixing with ordinary fans .Frank B reported as unwell



is this man ever well ?

Charlie that's what I am and it's where I watch my team from, with family and friends.

If you need to move to a "Plan B" midway through a game you have a problem. I always believe that you should stick to your game plan and if you have done your homework during the week it will work. It's when clubs start panicking and looking for a (usually nonexistent) backup plan that things go wrong.

Seemed to me our plan B yesterday was to throw out daft passes' give even dafter penalties away' knock on and miss tackles.

It was a funny old day at keighley we were all making bets in the car going down how many leigh were going to score and we all said it would be over the magic 52. Well what a surprise we got, but in a funny sort of way I enjoyed it the adrenalin was pumping and the nerves where kicking in, now that's what rugby is all about

Not sure about the best team loosing, think we were evenly matched and the score line fair. Keighley were very good they had the perfect game plan against us, they'll pull off a few big wins and cause one or two upsets at Cougar Park this year. Our trouble was that we dropped far too much ball, don't know if it was because we were trying to force things but you can't loose the ball so much against anyone. Still at least now we've played against a tactical attacking team instead of just teams that want to try to try to run through our huge pack and will learn a lot from it and be ready for the next challenge and the next team that plays like that.

Fair point, although I'd rather we didn't turn over so much possession against the likes of Featherstone, Sheffield or Halifax!

In case anyone missed it on another thread the full game iks now on LC TV.

At least we got the 3 points , we will learn from it , well played to who made the decision to go for a try !!!

Indeed.



On LCTV Paul Rowley is not happy with the young linesman who disallowed a Leigh try whilst on the far opposite side. Rowley also thought it a very harsh call so all things considered I feel we just about edged it over the 80 mins.



Plenty food for thought though.

If I ever find myself stuck in the trenches, I sincerely hope it is not with you

I bet he was plenty happy with the same touch judge who, in the second half was on the main stand side, and intervened to get Leigh the penalty, that led to Adam Higson's last gasp try! They reckon that decisions tend to even out and our coach has always said that you should take the officials out of the equation - in other words, ensure your destiny is in your own hands. I would have thought Sunday's victory could have been more emphatic, had we not constantly turned over the ball, to a team that made good use of the bonus possession.
