Deepest sympathies to Cougar fans.

Just out of interest, have any of the above posters played any rugby at a decent level? I am a PE teacher and never have I once got up on a morning and thought, "I think I am going to go lower standards today", how many of you think that Owen gets up and thinks I am going to be "s@it" today? When a player is in form they do not give a flying proverbial about what fans think but clearly Owen is struggling for form at the moment so what do fans do....

He has been a class act in the past, he will come good again. Just look at what has happened with Seymour at Hull, can we not get off of his back and see the bigger picture?

Yes I have. both league and union. Having played union at yorkshire ameteur level and believe me there are players who think they are better than the club and he is one of them. He is only a couple of years younger than me and having seen him on boozy nights out also lifting his shirt up showing his amazing body :/ and saying 'do you know who I am???' to people. I think hes just bothered about his pay packet at the moment.
If fans are on your back you put that extra effort in to play better, not look lazy in warm ups and play poor at championship level.
Owen was a class act before his bad injury. Since his return hes lost his spark and I think he knows it as well.

It isn't about waking up and thinking I'll play badly. It's about not having your head in the right place to play rugby. Either because you think you are bigger than the team, because of some perceived injustice or something outside of rugby completely. This doesn't just go for rugby, it's true in any job.
Someone needs to sit Owen down and have words or the answer to the question "Do you know who I am?" will be "A nobody".

Owen is still a talented player, that doesn't just disappear, but he needs to get his head right and then his form will return.

Owen had a nightmare game last night , i watched Keighley last Sunday against Leigh , their full back that afternoon was far better .

Re: owen is $%^& : Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:14 am  

I meantioned on the other thread about him warming tansey up against wigan.

was like watching a moody child having a strop.

I don't think his ego can take playing for Keighley (no offence to the cougars whatsoever)

When?


I remember him having a very good game when we beat Huddersfield 13-6 away, in 2009. Other then that, you can count on an abacus his good games. Class act. Don't make me laugh.
