We’ve managed to lose this. Poor really. Not sure where this leaves us.

Leaves us in a relegation scrap again

33-22.
And two in the bin. If they get bans, we're in even more trouble.

Shocking really, as to the question of where does it leave us?
Up the creek!

Re: Keighley - 5th March : Sun Mar 05, 2023 5:56 pm  

We’ve a couple more winnable league games then basically a load of difficult fixtures. If we don’t get anything out of next 2 we could be looking at a comparable start to last season save with an earlier win and a couple of matches where we put in a good 30 minutes. So yes difficult to see past the bottom four and any injuries/ bans and were right in it. Swinton already have 4 points, Newcastle 3 and Haven 2. There’s no obvious terrible team and we have no squad depth. One relegation struggle could perhaps be argued away but two on the spin suggests something really isn’t right.

I said we were relegation fodder months ago and here we are... at the foot of the table already and inflating attendance figures already......it's patently obvious that there is nobody at the club who is anyway shape or form up to the tasks required.
Owner. Worse than useless
CEO. Accountant still learning on the job
Head coach. Fitness guru still learning on the job
Squad. Some capable but mostly average players and far too few of them.
Commercial Manager. Unable to secure paying sponsors for the shirt or the matchday experience

It's terrible how far we have fallen and telling that the RFL don't seem to care any more.
London WAS an opportunity for the game, but whilst Hughes is anywhere near it, there's no chance of growth.
Relegation may well be a blessing

Very bleak result, sounds like a few of ours lost their heads towards the end, which speaks well of our 'culture'. Massively worrying that we look this jaded after 5 games, but the most disappointing part is none of this seems surprising.

Promotion is starting to look unlikely! Certainly if decided on the pitch.

Cheers. Listening here on drystone radio. Got to love community radio. Can someone give the commentator a tissue I think he has the sniffles.

Commiserations.

Bongser intended to listen to today's match of which there were FIVE in The Championship. He headed to Auntie's website where the following commentaries were on offer:

Barrow vs Newcastle
Sheffield vs Widnes
Halifax vs Batley
Swinton vs York.

Bongser was never the best at Kim's Game but he knew what had gone missing there! So he went to the pub.

Seems BT, with greater diligence, found a feed from a radio station of which Bongser had never heard but foolishly presumed to be a community radio station in The Smoke. When looked up, Drystone Radio boasts of serving the Craven area. In his innocence and in thinking that this was a South London gig, Bongser thought of Craven Cottage! He was appalled to read the following:

Join David Adams and Dave Watkiss from 3 pm as they follow Keighley Cougars' progress for live rugby league!

London Broncos DO NOT EXIST as far as London (and The Beeb) are concerned. Pretty sure that Orangeman (good evening, how are you?) doesn't like Bongser, but the latter has fed him enough dry powder for OM to go "Bananas" about!

Yes, realise now that broadcast (narrowcast?) was from the Cringing, Cowardly, Craven area of the Pennine Borderlands but the point remains. Why was there no Radio London (or whatever) coverage, as if we don't all know the answer already.

Bongser doesn't mind having no railway station as long as he has exposure for his club as he had on Friday arriving back from work, commentary from a more oriental part of Yorkshire called, golly, Craven Park!
