Perhaps 'The Lucky Black Cat' can explain why 'fax were so desperate to sign Danny Jones when, in their opinion : he is too slow and cant organize [sic]. Was it because he was the: Only one Professional Rugby League Player in the UK has scored in each of his team 2009 matches. He is a Keighley Cougar - Danny Jones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40qLOr1kRM4 Whatever 'The Lucky Black Cat' says, we liked him at the Cougars and were sorry to lose him 'over the hill'.

I know I am new to this forum and you do not know me. Time sits heavy on us down here; a friend of a friend is a Cougar and it sorta became infectious. However, looking at things logically (from a distance & less involved) and with JD's comments - if someone isn't up to scratch & don't perform (a) they won't play & (b) they won't get any money. So it's up to them & JD has put together a squad that gives him options - does it not my friends? A pragmatic & fortunate position to be in I think. Many thanks to the person who contacted me via PM re match report. Thanks.

Calland was for some reason wanting to sign anybody who had played in Fax academy or had links with Fax- Jones was one. Another was Ryan Clayton who was really poor. Gannon, Smith etc were other old boys. Josh Barlow was another but is half decent and still young. Sadly Jones has done nothing for Fax in both his times there. He didnt really organize and struggled when playing Fev, Leigh, Sheffield and Batley. He offered very little. Thats why Harrison was happy to let him go as there was much better on offer in Handforth and Thackeray-though I do think Fev have the best halfbacks. I am glad for Keighley that they like Jones as he is a nice lad and will give his best. Also glad to see you back in the Championship. But this League is very tough as you can see by the tables over the past couple of years. There are no real easy games and if you get slack you will be punished-as Fax found last year for example. Batley, Sheffield, Leigh, Swinton, York etc will make life very difficult whether you be Fev, fax or keighley. You will enjoy the season as no game is a certain win and the standards are quite high as well as entertaining.

Thanks 'LBC' but have you forgotten that we played in the Championship in 2010?

Unfortunately, we started on minus 9 points then, with a team that mainly consisted of the players that won promotion from C1. We know how tough a competition the Championship is and with a new player-coach at the helm we believe that we will be a completely different team this time round.
