Well done the Cougars : Fri Apr 02, 2010 8:19 pm  

Congrats from a Widnes fan, Sheffield are a very experienced team with a very good backline. More performances like that will see you wiping that -9 out in no time.

I cant make my mind up whether I should be happy with the two points or whether we lost one>>>>?

Super game and the Cougrrrs did very well to keep Sheffield to the points they got - what with all the pressure they enjoyed at the beginning of both halves.

I have to say,the referee made some real howlers tonight and special mention must go to the blatant knock on, when the Eagle failed to collect the ball from the ground.

Wray adds real go forward and the Cougrrrs seemed to lose momentum when he was replaced. I'm not saying don't bring the other hooker on but why take Wray off?

Nup. made my mind up - I'm happy with the two....

Great game and well played Keighley - excellent effort again with just reward..

I would have had no complaints if you'd taken all the points, I thought your forwards bossed us in the second half, disappointed with the Eagles showing, your PA guy is a legend-he was the man of the match!

I have to say playing the Birdie song after one of the Eagles' tries was a stroke of genius that was worthy of the great Mick O'Neill himself.

Re: Well done the Cougars : Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:23 pm  

I feel very disappointed after the game.
Sheffield were there for the taking.

Wray should never have been taken off. As soon as he went of, Sheffield got back into the game.

In saying that it was a good performance by the team.
Well done to the lads.

Just checked score on sky sports and was bloody shocked. Well done the boys a very very good two points.

Enjoyed the game, thought Cougars would hold on going into last 10 mins.

Then they got that lucky kick through try and I thought oh no!

Still 2 points is a good return but I thought cougars played well 2nd half and deserved the win.

Re: Well done the Cougars : Sat Apr 03, 2010 8:59 am  

What a game,we just keep getting better and better.

Jermaine was outstanding, had me on the edge of my step when he is on,really gives us fans summat to cheer on.

Enjoyed the new range of songs in the stand,lets keep that going.

More of the same will do nicely.

Shiks try,dont think anyone would have stopped him,what an animal.

Other forwards take notice...Nathan Massey ran hard fast strong, and STRAIGHT, abd he made loads of yards, and nearly scored. So maybe now our forwards will stop the sideways running, and just run straight at the defence, All our forwards are good enough to punch holes in any defence, but by the time they straighten up, they are tackled.

other than that a great result, and a promising future for the rest of the season.

I think direct would be a better term than straight.

We could do with a few more angled runs coming from the forwards as straight up running is relatively easy to defend against.

Massey did well last night, it's a shame he popped his shoulder.

That run where had 4 defenders on his back, nearly demolished the goalposts and got held up over the line was reminiscent of Steve Hall in his prime, pure class.
