Keighley Cougars remain unbeaten but know there is still room for improvement

Keighley Cougars are flying high at the top of the league table, but head coach Matt Foster insists that his team is still a work in progress. Despite winning all five of their league matches and averaging an impressive 52 points per game, Foster believes there is still room for improvement.

In their upcoming game against Rochdale Hornets, the Cougars will face a tough challenge as they look to maintain their unbeaten record. Rochdale, who recently secured a statement win against North Wales Crusaders, will be looking to cause an upset and break up the duopoly of Oldham and Keighley at the top of the table.

Foster emphasized the importance of not underestimating any opponent and highlighted the threat posed by Rochdale, who have access to quality players on dual-registration from Bradford Bulls and Widnes Vikings. He stressed the need for his team to be at their best in order to secure a victory.

Despite their dominant performances in previous games, including a resounding 82-6 win over Newcastle Thunder, Foster acknowledged the importance of players like Josh Lynam and Matt Bailey, who have deep roots in the club and understand its culture and history.

As they continue their quest for promotion, Foster emphasized the need for his squad to be adaptable and prepared for different challenges. The Cougars showed their ability to grind out a tough victory against North Wales earlier this month, proving that they have the resilience and determination to succeed in all types of matches.

With a tough test against Rochdale on the horizon, Keighley Cougars will need to be at their best to maintain their unbeaten record and continue their push for promotion.
