One word
Joke.
Think ten year olds could put more effort in and tackle better

The problem today was tackling, or lack of it when they were in our 20. If it had been better, it was definatly a game Keighley could have won. Halifax were not that great ethier.

I thought today's performance at Halifax was the best of the season. The organisation, spirit and commitmrent was great. Ok, just switched off slightly a couple of times for two of their tries. But this gives real confidence that Cougars will pick up a fair few wins this year - starting with Swinton on Saturday. With just a bit more luck at Halifax today it could have been the biggest shock win of the season so far in this league. Congratulations to Marchy and the players. Nice to see ex Halifax players get the tries. Whitey just starting to hint at what he could do for Cougars this season when the grounds dry up a bit. Not many will get a bonus point loss at Halifax this year, never mind a win.

Agree with WS, thought it was a good afternoon work.

Up the cougars.

I couldn't get to todays game due to family commitments , but , credit where it is due.
Sounds like a 100% better game than previous ones this season thus far.

Well done cougars and Paul March, lets give Swinton a good hammering next week and try
to get the season back on trask.

I have never been to a game we have lost before and been so pleased with out performance. Not a bad player in our team. Worth a mention were White and March but bloody hell, Barnett had his best game yet. His defence was 200 % . Massive credit and also Danny J did ok as Full back.

Second that Micky,well done Marchy on another improvement from last week.As said,100% given by all the lads.Mom for me was Gav Duffy,what an example he is for never giving up a lost cause,keep it up Gav.Roll on Saturday,we can do Swinton

I thought the team played ok. The second try was a cracker. We gave them 3 tries through extremely lazy tackling technique. Barnett played really well, made some excellent reads in defence that broke up promising Fax moves. Personally I think Danny Jones looks a bit lost at full back defensively although in attack it gave the team more play making options and the opportunity to have an extra prop in at 13.

Re: discipline & tackling : Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:23 pm  

My concern is our No7. He dosnt have a strong enough boot to turn defenders and put them on the back foot. Most of his kicks go to hand or just meaningless grubbers into touch. On Sunday we were turned often and on a few occasions forced to drop out.
