Good luck Cougars !

488 crowd.

We better bloody win.

As a Cougar fan it will be good to get back to watching the game after all the bickering!

Can't make it today unfortunately but I hope and expect it is a convincing win for the Cougars.

Can't argue with today's result!!

Your right cougartime. It was a good performance.
Some great tries.
Wish Leeds had got a try.
Dont like to see the amutours get nothing.

Do you remeber a team called "Bradford Dudley Hill"? I much prefer not to give an inch!

Sure do. Remember out hooker celebrating the try he hadnt scored and him getting the ball knocked out of his hand.

those were the days!!

That is the attitude we want the team to have.

We need to learn not only to maintain a lead but to "shut sides down" too. Compassion should be the furthest thing from our minds with the way the leagues are at the moment.

I thought the team did exactly what they had to do, the players looked much sharper and produced some fine rugby. Ash lindsay was like a "pocket Battleship" and deserved man of the match and both halfbacks had fine games. It shows that now the "warm ups" are over, they are able to put their "game heads" on and they and the coach should be pleased with the results.

Bring on Swinton!

On a side note, I thought the live band were very good as was Garry Schofield's after match talk. Its a shame it wasnt 20 mins earlier when the bar was full.

Yes agree with all that Dreamer, also the discipline was exemplerary. No biff at all. Also the ball girls/boys do a great job - ever since someone mentioned it I notice this more. I thought the crowd was ok given how awful the day was and the opposition and the club can build on this. And what a try!!

Did anyone else think that their no 21 was the fattest player ever to grace CP? Who ate all the pies scarcely did him justice!

First match I've been to this year, and thought we looked very professional. Completely agree with Ash getting the MOM award.
Danny Jones's kicking was best I've seen it. David March didn't get involved in any silliness.
To be honest the scoreline could have been even bigger if the ref hadn't been so lenient on the east leeds players holding our lads down. No 8 must have been holding down 10 or 12 times and only conceded 1 pen that i can remember.

All in all a good day and another home draw next round.

Yep , was a good game , nothing much to moan
about this week


Will of course be a much tougher game v Swinton
but if they play as a team and are as tight as this match
I think they should do it.


Well played Keighley !
