I have been thinking about this. It is unlikely Lowe will get many offers from other clubs due to his travelled nature and the need to go to press about his lack of commitment.

Is this not one of those moment in life when you need to stop, reflect and change. Unless Lowe is happy to have played 1 world cup game and achieve nothing special, surely, now is the time for him to hold his hands up, say, I have been a complete duck, sorry lads, sorry barry, sorry cougars. Get his booty (all of it) in the gym, and work hard to get himself in shape and prove to people he is commited to this game and the club. That way, he keeps a job and the cougars get the player they thought they had.

Reading posts on other forums it appears the fans of other clubs dont want him, although that is not to say the managers will listen to the fans.

I guess the next 7-14 days will be telling. Is it all over for Lowe? has Lowe given up? Is he a quitter?







Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

I guess that would be the ideal scenario but he appears to have got a lot of peoples backs up and also Barry is a proud man and I can't see him going back on his clear intent on keeping the squad tightly knit , it's all over for niel lowe at cougar park I think..

I think it be very worrying if Barry was to dig his heels in, if Neil showed he was worth a first team place.

All this would do is send the wrong message to players.

:shock:

Good last post Andy, been off board for a while , mainly because there is a lot going on at club in background , we are desperately trying to get a TEAM on the pitch and Club has enough current problems and lads need to get down and churn out the results till we get back to normal.

Not that we merry few, causes the club any problems. ??

But i know our Simon cannot resist sneaking a look at the Forum and the PRESS releases etc and although they are not up there with the Super Leagues lads theses lads all have their levels, of personal pride and expectations . They do get knocked back a bit by comments .
Can you imagine our Simon the other week dropped for the Home match against YORK with Baz having not one recognised PROP in the Team ??.
Dont know whether he was relieved we managed the WIN or vexed cause hed lost Winning pay . But its all part of the Team scene.

Ive said little about Lowe without concrete foundation and as a players players given my personal view on him as to how id treat him as a player on the pitch and a TEAM mate. Having said all that and ive said this times before these lads do not a LIVING MAKE out of this daft bloody game of ours.

They never will and the mony they pick up, well it doesnt even pay for our Simons car !!!.
No excuses for Lowe if hes refused to play in Reserves.
Not quite the same comparison, but our lad ( 23 yrs old ) would not even consider not turning out for whoever he was requested to play for or how many game or whatever position he had to play in . Its part of the job and the Contract.
Recently Simon has been going into the Club early for Video sessions with Baz to try and sort out some Defense problems hes been coming across its all part of the game and the TEAM effort you are either in or you are NOT.
But as Andy points out if Lowe is short of cash and has not got regular work at the moment , its a whole different ball game, especially if your contract includes WINNING Pay with 1 st team not the Reserves.

Its going to be an odd situation if nobody can match Cougars Contract commitmment with Mr Lowe and will not pay up what Baz needs for him .
EVERYBODY is feeling the financial breeze.

Sundays run away against Blackpool . NOWT -- this Team has much more in the tank, give us another 3 games to get settled back with a few proper Props and an established 2nd Row and well take this League to the cleaners including Dewsbury .
Fancy the double over them and on Telly.

Bexsnr, yes, I fancy the double over dewsbury on tele as well although there are flying at the moment so more likely they will do the double on us. Saying that I agree we are week by week getting more right than wrong and the team are really starting to flow. York is however the next big test, good to hear one of the march brothers is out as it will mean 1/2 the number of unpunished head shots and flopping. Does anyone know if knighty will be playing?

I would have thought that Barry has to dig his heels in especially on this type of thing otherwise I think this could show weakness, what every player in all sports should understand is they form part of a unit and if that means having to play in the 2nd team now and then so be it.

Can you imagine if Barry said right Mr Lowe you win you rule you are guranteed a place now that would put any coach in a poor position with the rest of the squad.

Spitting dummies out hold no sway for me, if he had been playing better than the others he may be in a position of strength but sadly as much as I admire him as a skilled player he has not.

I hope he knuckles down and perhaps realises he was asked to play in reserves because it was needed to help the reserve players too.
