A trip to Lawkholme Lane / Cougar Park (delete as appropriate).

Not a place where we get too many favourable results so hopefully a time to buck the trend.

I expect one or two changes after last Sunday's second half.

We need to be able to counter their physicality or else we will lose.
We need to be more professional when we go there with a definite plan on how to beat them. In previous seasons we have been a shambles up there.

Kick and hope, there is usually plenty of that by Keighley.
It seems to work for them though, that and rampaging forwards on a cowpatch of a pitch.

Will be very surprised if we get a bonus point nevermind a win.
COYD

We will win.

S/O is right. We need to match their physicality. We must win the battle in the forwards or else we could be in trouble.

I hope Liam Colborn is available. My starting forwards would be:

Ryan Wilson, Kyle Keswick, Matt Carbutt, Liam Colborn and Steve Snitch, with Mike Emmett at 13.

Mark Castle, Russ Spiers, and Craig Robinson would be on the bench.

Combinations and permutations of backs probably has more scope for flexibility but I'd definitely play Lee Waterman at centre in this match.

I wonder if PC will play or whether he'll rest himself again?

A bonus for us is Cas came back last week, he's ok is he no reactions from his injury.

Sorry but wouldn't play Wilson , 1 of the 3 props you have on the bench can start.
Alex Starling to play instead of Wilson.

Spaven to come back in as replacement hooker.

Just my opinion .

COYD

I would start with Cas and Snitch and get them on the back foot as early as possible.
make them work a bit.

Where are the insiders with the team sheet?

My guess at the team v keighley,

1, Dave Scott
2, Sanderson
3, Welham
4, Crookes
5, hodson
6, Cooke
7, wilkinson
8, snitch
9, Kesick
10, carbutt
11, waterman
12,starling
13, emmett
14, Robinson
15, spaven
16, spiers
17, castle

Whoever plays I am hopeful of a positive result

Is that Jason Crookes as opposed to Ben Crooks? Are either/both qualified to play as I'm not sure if they've played three or more games for us before the deadline day last Friday?

Couldn't grumble with Rugblyman's team. Weighman prefers Starling to Wilson. I can understand why. Getting Snitch and Cas into them early as Onedon suggested might make sense too.

As we get nearer to kick off, I'm feeling more positive of a win. I do get nervous at Keighley though!

Jason Crookes is at Fev isn't he???

Don't like going to Keighley cos in recent years we haven't done that well.

Need the 3 points tomorrow lads. COYD

I was referring to Ben Crookes, I am feeling confident of a result today wen though we have struggle at Keighley in recent times, we have the winning mentality and don't give up easy.

Donot think Ben Crooks is available .

Could do worse than the team that beat Leigh with only Crooks not available Cookie could take his place. Just a thought.

Dons -4 points 10/11 with most bookies.

see sky sports for team lineups

Be interesting to get the views of the faithful that went. Pleased about the BP though. Never the best of hunting grounds mind you is Keighley for us.

Some things just don't change, like losing at Keighley ....
The bonus point was nice though.
Cookey never played.

Disappointing to score 32 and lose.
But at least we got a bonus point.

We didn't defend well at times & the referee had a mare at least 2 tries it appeared the ball was knocked on & on one of these the ref overruled both touch judges. A third try might have been ruled out because of a double movement.
Too many individual mistakes .

Lets hope we can bounce back next week !

COYD

Very disappointing after a strong start. We conceded some very soft tries and some dubious ones. It will be interesting to see the video on 3 or 4 of the Keghley tries.

Two games on the bounce with weak defence.
Cookey needs to have a word.
I don't really want us to bomb against the Shitehawks next week when we are on for the double.

The one just before half time is the one I'd be interested to see, both touch judges didn't give it, yet the ref did....

Wow, cowpatch of a pitch eh. just rememeber 'Tattersfield' At least we're still in our original home and not lodging with a soccer club. You try going on your own, see what you end up with. Good luck to you when your kicked out through lack of attendance. By the way, think you' ve performed brilliant this season.
