Should win this as I think we are the better team now and Keighley shut up shop several months ago.

Fighting for their lives though, and ran Halifax very close.

Banana skin this, we are pretty much in the playoffs bearing a huge york or batley win, but Keighley have to win.
In a way if batley (who play sat) have a huge win vs Newcastle, then it might make it easier as then London will have to get a result to make the playoff

Rhys Lovegrove should have the measure of Keighley.

Keighley twitter saying they are only able to name a 19 man squad. Struggling with injuries and some recalled loanees.

Nevertheless we need to bring our "A Game". Bradford game planned really well against us and Keighley will no doubt try to emulate.

Massive game and I hope the lads do themselves justice, they deserve to be in that playoff mix.

A few familiar faces among the Keighley 19 man squad.

As an aside it strikes me as ludicrous that the last round of matches don't all kick off at the same time.

Forecast looks like a dry track for tomorrow

That’s a bit of good news!
We can’t seem to perform in the wet!

Decent win for Batley, sounded like Newcastle made a game of until late on

Looks like Whitehaven are safe. Despite falling two positions into the relegation zone it's hard to believe that both London and Halifax will lose (or neither win by at least a converted try). Two draws the other highly unlikely way Whitehaven would be relegated. At the recent Plough Lane match, I heard some Whitehaven fans talking about keeping the scoreline as close as possible. Looks like they were spot on that points difference would decide their fate.

Anyone else feeling nervy?

Pretty grim first half, Keighley on top for most of it, executing well in possession and slowing it down defence, just like Bradford. Need a big second half.

Are the players on a bonus not to reach the play-offs after watching that first half? Just asking.

Terrible first half, lucky to be only 10 down

What the heck are they playing at, how many penalties and set restarts they giving away, and everyone fully deserved, absolutely shocking

Bit more like it so far in the second half. Fax losing to boot.

Won it!
Good start to the second half, held on after a bit of a wobble- but we got the points!!
COYB!!

Full time and we win 24-16.
I guess they had a good talking to at half time.

Congrats!

Impressive half time team talk "The bonus are for making the play-offs not missing them". And the response was instanteneous. Feel sorry for Keighley. A try from avoiding relegation.

I have absolutely no idea where that second half came from, but fair play, was some shift. I might just chip in to keep Dean Whare here next year, what a player

Thought it was a poor performance overall, yes did enough to win it in the end but shocking. Far to many needless penalties. Thought will lovell in particular was poor, not what we want to see from the captain. Last tackle kick options again rubbish.
On a positive bill Leyland is developing into a decent player. Whare showed a bit of class.
Big improvement needed if we want more than one more game

First half they out enthused us and had a good kick and chase game. They are a really big side and maybe the didn’t have the legs for the second half. My memory must be failing me but Ioine looks about twice the size he used to be- he was a real handful and they had a couple of other decent players as well. IMHO they were better than some of the others down near the bottom but a salutary lesson in what happens when you pull the plug half way through the season. We were rubbish in the first half. No energy, loads of handling errors and we looked very lightweight compared to them. Agree with others that it must have been a stern half time team talk. Agreed that Bill Leyland did well and Whare and Norman have been real assets. Special mention for Macani. I’m not sure he has got the top speed that is required but he keeps going even when he gets a knock and did well in the second half. Keighley were well supported and quite a few in corporate - using last week’s ‘official’ attendance figures as a guide -I’d say about 900.

BT yup agreed, talking to a few Keighley fans they couldn't understand why lovegrove was sacked, results after he went tells the tale! When did our season turnround hmmmm Mr lovegrove seems to be the common denominator
