    According to Keighley socials it was due to a 'sub par' performance and nothing to do with the Hurricanes playing well. Funny how lots of teams coincidentally put in a poor performance every single time Hurricanes put in a good performance. 

    A lot of unforced errors to be fair. Not sure if anyone keeps track of the stats at this level but probably more than any other league game so far this season. Hurricanes were good though, would probably have won without the two pretty silly sin binnings.

    A clear knock on as attested to by the Keighley fans around me was given as a try. 

    Can't even think which try you mean so can't have been that clear... I'll wait for the highlights.

    ... of today’s Skolars team, only 3 players were regulars last season.

    ...

    the new young Skolars squad need to start putting into practice the basics of simple game management snd damage limitation very soon 

    Spot on. Normally in these blowout games (and I've seen a few at cougar park over the last few years) it's a physical mismatch but that wasn't the case today. Most of the skolars team have the physical profiles to be very solid players, there's some real athletes there. In the 80th minute they didn't look exhausted like you'd expect of a team that had spent all game defending so they're clearly not unfit either. Their problem was simply that they looked like they've never done a defence drill in their lives. I've no idea how much coaching experience Joe Mbu had before this season but I get the feeling if you gave that team to someone like Cornwall's Neil Kelly for example he'd get a decent tune out of them.

  3. Well it's finally here...

    Not quite as offensive as previous offerings, but far from the traditional style shirt fans have been asking for. Also looks more like a training top than an actual shirt in my opinion. 

    Also I should mention that the club have said they will be planting a tree for every shirt sold which I think should be applauded regardless of opinions on the design itself.

    In the 3 hours of their social media history, they have already amassed 6k followers, just under half the amount of clubs such as Workington Town or Sheffield Eagles have, only 4k short of Doncaster and 2k short of London Skolars. Good start, I'd say. 

    Not quite, it's the old Ottawa account with a new username and picture.

    Good to know BD20. 
     

    Didn't Will Cooke play for your lot too?

    He did, nothing really bad to say about him and he always tried hard in a year when a lot of the team spent a lot of the time looking like it couldn't be bothered but I'd say we have two centres better than him now.
