Bookies give us no chance. : Wed Apr 07, 2010 5:36 pm  

Maybe they've not seen us play recently. Taken from here Best prices Halifax 1/33 (Hills) Draw 50/1 (Bet365) Cougars 12/1 (Bet365) On handicap most firms giving us 26 points headstart. Personally I think we'll do enough to get a bonus point. And if the Fax team that played Hunslet turns up, who knows?

Im just being honest mate, Fax are a tough nut to crack at home and will be smarting after recent form. I will be a Keighley fan for the night but i doubt you will get the win. Put them under pressure early and spray the ball around and you might have a chance.

Well I just stuck a fiver on us at 11/1 on sportingbet. Got lucky on a ninth round David Haye stoppage, so if I get a win on this Ill stick a large wad on the outsider in the national.

Madman, £5 on a cougars win. They played very well at Dewsbury but this will be tougher.

The bookies are usually pretty close to the mark and you have to say that when you look at the strength and depth of the Halifax squad, the bookies have made a fair assessment.

However, I do feel that their lack of a reserve team will hurt the match fitness of the full squad and I'm not sure what exactly is behind their current loss of form.

Neither Keighley nor Halifax have been consistent this season, but if we continue with our current form and self belief, we will give them a game. If the "out of form" Halifax turn up we may well produce a shock.

I will be highly delighted if we get a bonus point (and extatic if we win).

I have placed a bet. Win, win for me. I have got a season ticket so have spent the £12 I would have spent on bet365. Keighley win = happy, Halifax win = happy

Pretty good assesment there.

If we can stay with them in the first half and frustrate them I reckon they might implode in the second half and our fitness and team spirit could see us prevail.

If we don't, we'll get tonked.
