We need to give it a rest regarding JD at 6, simple fact is there is no one else who can do what he does. He set both our tries up created another for moss when he was held up and also trhe try that got chalked off for off side. I am sure JD would love to be able to play 13 but fact is when he isn't there, we don't create anything. We had other players who were poor yesterday and the worst was shic. he looked dis-interested and very lethargic and was often slow to move up. Buster and Killer need to stick to the game plan how many times on the last tackle are JD and ryan in place to kick and they pass it to a prop with 3 players on him. You could see JD was fuming and saying give me the ball. JD needs to get his hands on the ball as much as poosilble because when he does we look like creating something. When we did play to the game plan we scored to easy tries and remember they scored all thier tries from kicks and struggled to break our defence without kicks. I am sticking with JD and i believe we will be a much different team against rochdale.

With regard the first try - This is an area where poor decisions are often made. The Workington player is initially fooled by the dummy run and attempts a tackle on the Keighley forward. In those circumstances tries are normally awarded. The Keighley player does not "hold" the Workington player, which is the signal given by the ref.



Second "no try" - I can't really say and the linesman could well be correct, but it looked good from my position right in front of the scorer. This is another area where poor decisions can made because attacking players are moving so fast the linesman can't tell. Even at SL level, replays often show this clearly.



Without better/other angles the video is inconclusive.



With regard to the tackle on Holt - my initial reaction (and of those around me) was penalty to Worky. However it was no where near as bad as you are making out and worky perform the same tackle on a Keighley player a couple of plays later. I'd be more concerned regards Chris Clough and Your fullback coming in third man with fists and elbows and your fullback using knees on prone players. It's one thing to be fired up but your fullback was frothing at the mouth.



Plenty of posts have said the best side on the day won (and they did), but considering this is a Keighley forum, we are more interested in our "lack of performance" and inconsistency than that of Worky.

Team for me has to be

Shame Halley hasn't done much since coming from Bulls, but going on JD comments Halley should be dropped cause he was s**t on sunday, can see why bulls now kept platt and raynor instead of him.

Yes some of the towns fans language was poor,and a number apologised for it. but a lot of your fans were shouting inbreds and such,which if my kids were around i wouldnt be very happy about,but im sure its ok as it was the cougars fans, and lets be honest they werent very loud. also the tackle was pretty bad on holt and its probably because your players are sicking of him kicking your team to death,again yesterday he was head and shoulders above your 2 half backs.

Those that were stood behind me didn't, they even ignored repeated requests from a Marshal. But I suppose when there are several dozen drunk fans chanting abuse, and one marshal, there aint much he can do. We have tried very hard to generate a family atmosphere this year and its a real shame that several families felt the need to leave half way through the second half.







No it's not acceptable, even if some of the home fans were annoyed at the behaviour of some of your fans.







Holt had an excellent game, and from what I saw, the "tackle" deserved a penalty but was not as serious as some are making out. It's just a shame that your teams "swinging arms" on already held players and knees and elbows on prone players went unpunished by the ref.



It's also a shame that you feel the need to come on our board gloating. I've been on your board to say well done, I didn't feel the need for petty sniping.

For the first try. As soon as it was scored, i said "this wont be allowed Schicks blocked a man".



As for the Holt tackle. From where we were stood, near the scoreboard. It looked bad. Hands between the legs, legs above horizontal and head first into the ground.

I, as well as others stood near by thought it was bad.



I was very surprised that it didn't at least go on report.



And this isnt me playing, Devils advocate

There are lots of controversial penalties given for dummy runners.



My interpretation is that if the defender falls for the dummy and moves to make a tackle then no penalty should be given. Would need another angle than Micky's video but it looks to me like the defender runs out of the line to grab Shickle. It's not until he realises he's been had that he tries to push shick out of the way and changes direction toward the scorer. Notice that shickel puts his hands in the air and does not grab the defender, as suggested by the ref.







Bad tackle, should have been a penalty, but looking at the video the head is not driven into the ground. Holt puts his arm down and rolls onto his shoulder. I wouldn't be surprised if the RFL don't review it anyway, "on report" seems to be a waste of time these days.







No, it's just you being a tart

Takes one to know one

I didn't realise you were into exposing your bottom in public, maybe you should clean it first next time

im sorry if i came across as gloating,that was not my intention,what so ever. i was just pointing out that every set of fans have a few who get carried away after a few beers. the game was massive in our clubs history as we have been through some very rough times since our super league year. so a lot of the fans were probably letting emotions get the better of them. i had a good crack and laugh with a few of the cougars fans,then we shook hands and wished each club the best of luck. yes the language possibly got a bit out of hand especially from a few of the younger fans, but there was no threatening behaviour from either side,and the atmosphere was pretty good from both sides. i wish you the best of luck vs rochdale as we have had bad experiences with a few of there fans when they have travelled to derwent park(especially the women).and hopefully we can both show in the final that there is life outside of super league and clubs with sugar daddys.

hope we do see you in the final xxx
