When can we look forward to the league one cup draw?

Is this cup included in the season ticket?

How unexciting does this new season look.

Well we are where we are and it will be good to hopefully see us winning games and being at the top end of the table

Positivity, that's the spirit, if you want to watch then watch, if you don't then don't, simples

I am looking forward to these matches, but I still believe we should slap an injunction on the Rfl if they continue to play hard ball (and if we have a good legal case of course). They have done everything possible to throw obstacles in front of us and I think we owe them one back.

We all know the quality and intensity will be less than last year, but it's still rugby folks! I am interested in these new clubs.

If we're being so positive, who do you fancy in the challenge cup? ...... Warrington away, do 'em this time!

Re: Keighley Cougars 2015 Fixture List : Mon Oct 20, 2014 12:50 pm  

So, from the fixture list, the only far away team we're not playing away is Oxford? Is this a setup?

We knew we had to play four of the six away for definite, was a bit of shock when we saw we had to play a fifth away and not York.

But, if I'm honest I'd rather play a South Wales twice rather than York. Better chance of six points from six.
