Not with the noise we made today.

We were the 18th Man today, immense effort on and off the field.

Fans, players I'm proud of you all.

Great game. Had everything. We got the result and for me Halley was outstanding and showed his SL class. Some of his movement and decision making was first class. A big well done to all the players. Great effort.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!! And if the 'new' supporters don't come-down next time it will be a disgrace!

It's a pity that the pathetic former supporters won't give the Club a second chance.

If they did then they would see what they're missing!

Superb day. Haven't posted in a while but couldn't resist, have even watched the video posted.

Team gelled this time, players in position and playing confidently. A few errors but plenty of poor ref descions (why was the ref subbed off?!)

Losing at London and Wales are pretty big glitches to overcome and must have been terrible for players (and attending fans).

However what a time to pull it out of the bag. Against haven and rochdale it was us losing it with 10mins to go. Confidence and a roaring crowd won it today.

another 100 in the Jewson stand would make the roof lift off, lets aim for that...afterall its better than the main stand falling in again. I think Mick O Neill is under there still trying to find that cowboy hat he wore when we beat Salford away.

Were you lot at a different game..... you stole it.

As for the 18th man comment you only got vocal when you scored with 3 mins to go.

Now turning to the game yes it was a cracker Swinton should have buried it in the first half when we were the dominent side and the in the second half there was a danger Keighley would run away with it when you ran in two simple tries in the first five or ten mins.

You have to remeber Ian Mort scored a hat trick with virtually three identicle passes and had he converted them Swinton would have won.

As it was you rode your luck got the mistake in the dying minutes and took the game so every credit to the Cougars for that.

I did today witness the most blatent forward pass i have seen in years be allowed by the ref in the first half and in every division of Rugby that needs to be addressed but I have no complaints both teams contributed to a very entertaining game, well done to the Cougars and good luck for the rest of the season.

Gosh Marshy1 - stole it - we won it! Bitter pill to swallow hey??? 18th Man yes, and woman, who drummed and shouted and sang their way throughout the whole match and felt the anguish when you were in front and the euphoria when we won. Hearts given to the Cougar team yesterday.
