We're certainly improving, but we were made to pay for not making our pressure count early in the second half.



Some questionable decisions by ref leading to their 2nd half tries.



Anyone else wonder how Shickell gets MOM every time? It was either George or Jermaine tonight for me.

What questionable decisions led to our second half tries?

Also, I thought Shickell was outstanding for you, and I can't say I ever rated him before, but thought he had a good, hard no nonsense game and never stopped trying.



It was a decent game for the terrible conditions. Not a classic but the best we could expect in that deluge.

The scrum leading to Batley's 3rd was from a knock on that it appeared he never dropped it.



The final try was a good 6 inches short and he dropped it whilst grounding it.

I have yet to watch it on Sky+, but having been in front of the two tries I would question whether the first was short and the second was knock on both ways, that is not sour grapes, just my opinion prior to the video evidence that may yet prove me wrong!



Either way, it was a good game, both teams fought hard, had decent defence and showed that they are capable of putting in a first rate performance (despite the wheather), shame about the fist-i-cuffs at the end, hope that there are no serious consequences



Well done to the players under awful conditions I say

the first one , he was short of the line and the second was not grounded properly but no complaints, you have to play to the whistle and foe me it was anybodys game.

Hard luck Cougars. We should have won that game. Credit to both teams, to play rugby in those conditions

must have been energy sapping. It reminded me of the game when Joe Grima got sent off. It rained all day.

And that was against Batley.

Good crowd tonight as well. Nice to hear the Cougar fans being vocal.

It was very reminscent of the 1993 (I think) Good Friday game when we beat Batley to win the title.



Truely attrocius conditions and credit must go to both sides for the standard of rugby on display.

Well having watched two matches consecutively for the first time since 2006 I can safely say that was an improvement on last week. I know the conditions were quick and would the scoreline have been similar in dry conditions? Who knows but you can only play the conditions on the night. Nice to see them throwing the ball about even in the conditions, cos as the sky team said what have we to lose in terms of the season let alone the match.



Look forward to the next sky match.

And the next match on sky for the Cougars is Halifax at the Shay on 8th April. ko 19-30.

Well done to both sets of players.

Not a classic,,,,,but lets thank Mr Murdoch that we do not play in those conditions very often.
