Well done from Tarbes in the Pyrenees .

Sounds like Peter G was immense, job to the end of the season maybe ?

Happy with the win, but you have to admit we were far from convincing. Far, far too many basic errors especially in the first half. Our kicking game was very ineffectual both in execution and type of kick when in attack. We looked tired and lethargic and gave them a free 10m at every play the ball, compared to Keighley who tried to shut us down. As a player thought Peter Green carried the ball well, but didn't notice any "coaching" chat from him. I think there is still a lot to be done, but happy we won.

Not a classic but a hard fought game which could have gone either way IMO. However a win is a win Charlie Martin was my man of the match.

Well I thought it was a good team display, we attacked well down our left hand channel with Martin, Tali & Barnett .Half backs did ok , the props took the ball up well.
What stood out was the players wanted the win & PG led by example.
Not the finished article but much better .

It was a good effort by the lads. The game could have gone either way at one point but we managed to do enough.

Keighley's discipline was absolutely awful. I reckon they must have conceded at least 15 penalties.

Today was a step in the right direction as we did seem better organised than previously. I think that credit must go to Peter Green for sorting that out.

I was impressed by Russ Spiers. Charlie Martin had a good game and Jason Tali always looks a threat when he gets the ball.

Today was a step in the right direction but there is still a lot to work on.

There appear to be a lot of sides of very similar ability in this league and winning close games is going to be very important.

Good win, not perfect but better. I feel the team just looks more balanced already. The ball went wide sometimes, got kicked sometimes, went up the middle sometimes. Rather than the same thing every time we had got used to and kept the team guessing. So even result aside we just looked better to watch.

We could and should have won by a lot more given the way we dominated the first 20 particularly, but we got away with the missed chances due to Keighley's poor discipline (in a side with Mike Emmett in, who would have thought?).

Better without being anywhere near where we need to be. Good to see a desire to vary the attack, including getting it out wide (I was beginning to think we couldn't do that).

Keighley were not as good as I expected.
