Today's Game : Sun Jul 03, 2011 5:19 pm  

Unfortunately, I couldn't make the game today, but having seen the scoreline I think a big well done has to go to all players and staff. Confidence was obviously low given the last few results and the players have picked themselves up and put in a performance today. Hopefully we can build on today's result and knock Swinton's season off track next Sunday. They were beat today so it's sure to be a cracker next week.

A question for the stattos out there.

Is that our biggest ever home win?

I know we destroyed Highfield away from home 104-4 but I can't remember us ever scoring more than 90 points at home.

It was great to watch, champagne rugby at times.

No square pegs in round holes, everyone played in their natural positions and it showed. I wouldn't mind seeing us play the same 17 against Swinton. I think we'd more than fancy our chances.

Couldn't agree more.

Just goes to show that wehn we've got the players in their rightful positions we can do something.

Only negative was on the stroke of half-time when the hooter sounded and we thought that was it. IT WASN'T and because we didn't tackle the player in posession a try (from their 25) was the result!

It should have been 92 (or more) NIL today.

A good run-out with some good moves and handling skills from Coleman especially. I agree with SC - play the same 17 next week. How can you not?

Mossy had a cracking game, but I can't see it making sense signing a player of the quality of Dave Halley as full back and not using him. So for me, it is 16 kept, Halley in for Moss.

A car full of Bulls fans were at Cougars today, just to see Dave play. They were singing his praises highly and will be back next week.

Re: Today's Game : Sun Jul 03, 2011 6:38 pm  

That's a start.

There's nothing more saddening than to see 'Dulls' shirts in Cougarland.

Let's try to get the old supporters to return.

Fantastic result, even better with other teams losing.

I am not suprised bulls fans are attending whether it be because of Dave Halley or not. Lets face anyone who saw them against Catalans could not be blamed to come watch a yeam that tries to win regardless of the result.

I assume he did not play for a good reason, maybe its linked to rehisttation with rfl, just a guess.

But once again a fantastic result and could be very helpful re points difference at end of season.

It is the highest number of points scored, but unfortunately the try conceded means that the biggest win is still 90-0 against Cardiff Cougars in 2000.

Was a wonderful match today, congrat to Smith, Coleman and Baines today. Gateshead were a defeated team from the start. Was aslo pleasing to see children there enjoying the match as well. They are Keighley Cougars future, families. who spend and come for generations xxxxx

Im a Bulls fan but watch Keighley when I can. Havn't been able to go since Rochdale at home in NRC unfortunatly. I would pay but being on the Under 16's scholarship i get in for free. Cracking atmosphere and its a great little ground.
