On the night Keighley arguably raised their game and their side contained more players with recent super League experience than ours and therefore i would say evenly matched is applicable given the conditions . but hey it's only my opinion what do I know?

Its your opinion,we've recruited smartly and wisely,up the cougars.

Fair play to Harrison's coaching methods under the circumstances. Mainly disciplined, organised in defence, and with the current 17 and the 17 against Sheffield, we have a very low error rate. Lay the platform first, then play the fancy stuff! We couldn't lay the platform so we were stuck in an arm wrestle for the majority of the evening.

Keighley were so keen to get in Halifax's faces all night. We didn't really have the chance to throw the ball around. Obst was a thorn in our side all night and luckily, we stood up enough to the threat. In the last 5 minutes, neither team looked like scoring, not in open play anyway.

I'm sure the team & tactics will change next week to suit a more fluent attacking game when we welcome the Scorpions to the Shay. In will come Worrincy, White, Barlow Brothers & Bowman on the bench probably.

Ye I'd like to see a Casey/Bowman half-back partnership next week.

We gave you a hell of a game tonight. Came home delighted with the performance even though we lost so narrowly. I thought the ref let an awful lot go tonight. We were laying on a lot, but I thought Fax were guilty of not being square at the markers a lot. I'd rather have it that way though than have a really awful pedantic ref like Ronnie Laughton in charge.

As a footnote, didn't Jamie Bloem once play for you guys? Not sure it's particularly clever for the RFL to pick match officials who's previously played for one of the clubs involved. No sour grapes on my part, I don't think it affected the result in anyway.

I think Bloemy played for us more than "once"

DIRE? haha.
4/4?? and still unhappy! We'd have lost that game last year!

Keighley are no mugs , well done cougars , good result at fax.

Some times you have to win ugly and thats what we did. Keighley came with a clear game plan to slow us down and the ref let them do that so fair play to them. To be honest i thought the weather suited Keighley more than it did us but in previous seasons we would have lost that game but i didnt think Keighley looked like scoring in the second half where as we bombed a few chances.

Keighley will take a few points off the top teams this season as Batley have already seen so i think its a really good win for us and it was always going to be hard to back up after Sheffield.

I know its only peoples opinion on here but for goodness sake. Played 4, won 4, top of league!!!! What more do you want. Enjoy it, we have spent too many seasons previously not doing too well. I think Karl is doing a great job for us, lets give him our support and stop moaning. ENJOY!!!!!!!
