To be quite honest what York fans think of us does not interest me in the slightest and as another pointed out concentrate on your own team.



Whilst mentioning statistics who has the most points in total between the 2 teams the answer is the Cougars its this that is most important not who scored what against London and other various teams.



At the end of the day assuming York beat Swinton next week we have the pleasure of showing York exactly why we have finished above them, I do however expect it to a close game.



Bring it on.

Given our home form this season, i'm not overly concerned about York or Oldham for that matter.



We've only lost 2 games at Cougar Park all season, Dewsbury and Castleford, and we more than held our own for almost an hour against both these superior sides.



So long as we don't allow David March (amongst others) to drag us in to an 80 minute slug-fest we'll win by at least 10 points.

Well, I could be stupid, or I could be a retard, as you so succintly put it, somehow I don't think anyone can be both at once. It's one or the other isn't it?



But when apart from your well argued point of view as demonstrated above, the only person bigging up York is 'Rhino Roy' and the objective views of a number of Cougar supporters, I think it's a case of QED where my earlier comments were concerned.



Cougars have finmished second over an entire season and have played the same teams as everyone else. In fact they've finished in guaranteed second with most teams still having a game in hand.



That does actually mean that over the season they've been better than all other teams except Dewsbury - that's a fact.



Now we enter a different phase and a different type of game, a knock out competition. But whatever is achieved or not by Cougars, it will be on the basis of a club standing on its own two feet, not through the assistance and support of a Super League club - how would York be performing without that?

Forget all the stuff surrounding the game off the pitch - it should be a cracking game ON it!!!

-But when, oh please tell me, is it taking place?!!!

Mick W its on the 20th september.

I'd rather be supporting a team battling the Skolars for the wooden spoon every season than somebody else's feeder club.

jesus I thought this was a forum which is where people are able to voice their opinions on topics related to rugby League.

I read into your reaction that you are probably nervous about the play offs on your current form, and I would too if my team were showing form in recent weeks of a pretty ordinary standard.

Your coach has openly talked about getting to the final which might just come back and bite him on the .

I also guess that the 'feeder club' comment is also probably a little bit exaggerated, but it appears that all the super league clubs are adopting this process. maybe the fact that your local club Bradford have opted to join up with Rochdale instead of the club in their own district !! Now you must be pretty embarrased about that one or let me guess....you turned them down

you know nothing of our past with Bradford do you??

as for being a feeder club? No thanks we would rather see the fruits of our own labours, as has been evident this season,served us well so far I think you'll begrudgingly agree as is evident in our second place finish.how's york youth system bearing?hmmm

and annoy some other club,which by looking at your history you are good at.on yer bike my son

Rhino Roy lets assume you are a York fan are you not able to realise by being in a partnership (another word for feeder) with Leeds then you immediately are under control of Leeds therefore the identity of your club disappears.



I do not understand why fans of the clubs outside super league are not aware of this. I follow Keighley Cougars and not like you appear to do and follow what in reality will be Leeds reserves.

Oh there are some tetchy people on this site.



First and foremost it is not yet guaranteed that York WILL be the opposition when the play offs start.



If the "Green ,Red and White" tinted glasses are removed from some peoples eyes then everything is not OK with the team , and no doubt the coach is well aware of that.



The team has been more than capable of beating ANY team in this league all season , and yes that does include Dewsbury, but for various reasons this has not always been the case.



People who UNDERSTAND Rugby League, know what the Cougars "weakness" is and it was shown against the Skolars once again.



I expect the team to progress to the final and hopefully win it, but also being a realist, I can see how it could fall down.



We shall see come the season end.





Post edited for the benefit of those who cannot get their glasses off!

League fan I have to ask this were you at the Skolars game as I unable to see the weakness you refer to as we did a professional job against the Skolars by doing what we had to do.



You refer to the weakness that apparently we all know about, well if thats the case we have fooled lots of teams as we managed 2nd place, what a terrible team we must have.
