You are right but Fax will not be putting out the strongest team as Harrison has indicated he will give Gannon and the 2 lads from last years U23 team a run and see how they go. IF Keighley play their best 17 then they MAY win this game. But at the end of the day a Boxing day friendly doesnt really have any meaning at all for Coaches who mostly use it to see how fringe players and trialists a go to see how they go. And most fans accept that its not a serious game and not one to shed tears over if you lose.

Sorry, but if folk pay good money to turn up for the game, they should be treated to more than just a training run. The "we'll win by 20" comment should be enough to fire up the Fax players, but equally Rhino needs to put out a team that a) can entertain, and b) win

Support is based on success, and whilst there's no points on offer on Monday, every win helps to keep/gain a few speccies for the next game.

I thought it was a cracking run out by the Fax squad, some very promising things to look forward to this season. Our fitness levels looked far better than Cougars today.

Excellent performance by Brew on the scoreboard, saw him using his fingers on a few occassions.

I think the fingers were abusive gestures. All arithmetic was clearly done by Ryan!

I think most of us knew that.

The Keighley Chairman made some big claims prior to the game, shame no one took him on with a bet giving Keighley a 20 start, would have been easy money, would be nice for him to show now he his better than Des and not an egotistical chairman and make a donation to a local charity or similar, or is he going to have the coach in his office in the morning and send him packing?

I think our chairman just feels the need to fire up the fans. We know we won't be looking at superleague anytime soon, we'll settle for a competitive championship side and an increase in the gate for now!
The one thing we really need is more of the town getting behind the team. We know the ground's not up to scratch (apart from the bar!) but the chairman has to appear positive, can't blame him for that!
