Keighley needs to take responsibility and not just hope Doncaster stuff Batley.

Lot of money at stake Bulls at home next season worth £50k on its own.

Need something different this week.

Chairman & coach - get round to see Phil Larder or Peter Roe and get one of them in this week to training and the Fev match to inspire Cougars (and the fans) to a famous victory.

Possibly not the best time to ask but, following from afar, which players need to (literally) 'pull-up their socks' next week or be shown the door?

Sheffield beat them, we can also beat them if we turn up. They are certainly beatable as are any team in this league. I just think Fev are going to want it more on the day and we will be looking at the Doncaster game

Irrespective Today a bonus point should have been safety. The game is a laughing stock at the moment, in no other professional sport would cheating just be brushed over with no proper penalty. Why have rules at all if they don't matter?! The Court of Arbitration for Sport would surely find in our favour if we were relegated, anyone got a spare £20,000?

I don't necessarily disagree with that but why should this be the case? Why would their players want it more than ours? Our very survival depends on it, the lads should come out like Tasmanian Devils, tackling like demons, attacking Fev's line like rampaging bulls. There is so much at stake.

I hope the players are right up for it but they really don't seem to have been, my season ticket is brought, hope it is not money wasted

There was plenty of effort from most of the team but I don't think anyone put in the "blood and thunder" display we might have expected.

The problem lay, once again, in the mistakes:
Poor passing
Fumbled ball
Senseless penalties.
Inability to penetrate a defence close to the line.

As I've said on another thread, this gave Dewsbury possession of the ball and field position and led to tries.

I would have thought many of the issue could be sorted out on the training ground.

I was very surprised to see Marchy on the pitch, he was playing with a torn bicep. He must of felt the need to come on and attempt to change our poor first half performance.

I can't understand how we can be silky smooth one week and a spluttering moped the next.

Coaching and players. Sadly, it's often the coach that loses his job due to the ineffective performances of the players. We just don't have the right balance in the team and fear he has lost the dressing room?

We don't seem to come out and start playing for half an hour and by then teams can run up an unassailable lead and we are then chasing the game, making unforced errors in the process, fumbled and dropped catches, and then the panic spreads. We need BELIEF for Sunday and start playing as we can from the start.
