Keighley just about deserving the 18-14 scoreline. We've got to get smarter and put more pressure on their line. Usual Patton kick to Gill at end of sets. So predictable, but comes off now and then.
We dug in during the second half, and really took control. Ben Blackmore was immense, Gilly was more his usual self, and (gulp) Patton had a decent game. The argument will be that Keighley were weakened by the absence of usual backs, but as everyone says "you can only beat whats in front of you"
One positive for me was having gone 12-0 down we didn’t crumble as in previous games, doesn’t mean we’ll come back every time but it’s a start. Scored a few points second half which should boost confidence

Thought Walker, Scurr, England, Blackmore and Appo were class today. Disappointed with Jowitt’s cameo today. He’ll learn from it. Other than that thought the lads did well today. Need to sort ourselves out defensively though, Keighley made too many breaks for my liking in the first 15.
Hopefully Lawrence and Arundel will be fit for next week.

I thought the forwards got really on top in the second half and they had no answer at all. Appos try was a cracker. Didn't look too good for Mason when he came off, Great comeback to nil them in the second half.
Very solid second half performance following a pretty dreadful opening 40 minutes. Scored some great tries and our forwards laid a platform for the halves to cut open the Cougars defence. Patton and Holmes worked well today with Walker backing up in support.
