Some potentially good games this week. Cornwall by 4 Hunslet by 8 Cougars by 40 Crusaders by 8

It is good that Newcastle came back from the dead and I wish them well. Always found their fans to be friendly. I would probably expect some changes to our team. Its hard to keep everyone happy when they're not getting much game time as well as resting one or two who might be carrying knocks. We will need these players at some time due to injuries/poor form etc, so it is important for them to be ready to play. On the flip side, we did start the game slowly last week after missing the previous week with a bye. Unfortunately I don't think that I will be making the trip on Sunday, which is a disappointment. Does anyone know if there is any commentory on the radio?

Keighley Cougars retired the no6 shirt from 2016 in honour of Danny Jones. Something that is unanimously supported by the fans.

I think the squad seems to building nicely. Always hoped we would add some strength to our depth as the season progressed. Foster does have a good track record on signings in my view.

I agree we are not sharp enough on our right side attack. I've been putting this down to Thomas not being as clinical as Miller. Something I would think Foster will be working on. On the other hand our defense was outstanding. Crusaders had a lot of ball on our line for little reward. Regarding the crowd I did think the stand looked quite full yesterday which I thought must have accounted for the 1k attendance.

We definitely wasn't at our best today but some credit must go to the Crusaders for that. They made us work hard for the win especially in the first half and never gave up. I thought Bishop was outstanding today and deserved the POM. Although Walkley must have run him close and just seems to get better each week. Overall its another win and keeps us moving forward, still plenty to work on though.

OK I'll KO this week. Cougars by 20 Hunslet by 10 Oldham by 70 Hornets by 50 expecting a couple of big scores this week.

Oldham by 26 Crusaders by 30 Town by 4

What a great win/performance. Didn't see that scoreline coming. I thought we would win but only just. After a shaky start we really did play well.

Cougars by 6 Town by 14 Crusaders by 10 Oldham by 18

Looking forward to this one. Wish we were playing in the afternoon rather the evening though. Always a tough game at the South Leeds and with the added spice of many former players. Should be a close one. Hunslet had a good win last week and I would expect their confidence to be high, which could make it even trickier. However, so far this season our forwards have been immense and hopefully will be again. If we can match their desire, we should just about win.

I agree. We did play well and the result was never really in doubt. However this was far from a full strength Workington team, so difficult to judge our performance. Although we have scored over 100 points in two games, I also think our attack is still not quite firing. When we do get it right we are capeable of scoring some great trys. Our discipline wasn't good at times and needs to improve. Dan Parker was my MOM yesterday. Thought he had a brilliant game. Looking forward to the Hunslet game who also had a good win yesterday.

Crusaders by 8 Cougars by 10 Hurricanes by 8 Hornets by 6 Potentially some close games this week.

I am expecting much more of a test this week. As you say it's rare for it to be an easy game against Workington. Last week after a good start our performance then slipped. We can't afford that to happen this week. Overall i'm pleased with where we are but I don't think we are anywhere near our potential yet. I think so far this season we have shown that we can play well in all conditions, however hopefully the sun will shine.

I agree that yesterday we did seem to play well within what we are capeable of. Although overall we did more than enough. Some credit to Cornwall who never gave up and played some nice rugby at times. Our strength in depth does worry me and might be a problem as the season progresses. We will definitely have to improve for next week. I did think that Bishop looked promising. Overall I will give it a 7/10 performance.
