Some of do pal.

It is, get over it.



No they didn't, you had ample time to re-arrange it.

Its quite good for those of us who couldn't go tomorrow anyway though...

The only sensible option now is to play it when it should have been played and ditch the friendly. But since when has the word sensible been applied to the RFL?

I can't envisage a time when any friendly could be sensibly described as more important than a superleague game.

Well that's not strictly true. 13 Terminators take on a John Connor select 13 to decide whether humanity is to be extinguished. Robocop is the ref with Bagpuss and a Smurf as the touch-judges and Hitler's ghost the video-ref.

I'm a bit sketchy on the details right now but it'll all be for charity as well.

That is fine then, you keep the proceeds from the important friendly, we accept your forfeiture of the unimportant 2 superleague points, everyone is happy.

Look, I don't care about the sodding friendly. Really. Asserting that a friendly is a bigger game than a meaningful match is obvious gibberish. Your opponents are irrelevant, it's a friendly.

I'm sure they would agree to that considering how important this warm up game against Manly is to the 'development of London'.

If the RFL mess us about regarding this, I'll certainly be finding better things to do with my time and money for the foreseeable future when we travel to the Stoop.

Spot on.

Im glad that its not just me who thinks that the RFL are messing us about.

No you're certainly not alone. I am quite happy for the RFL to assist Harlequins in promoting their club, however they should also not disrespect loyal fans in the heartlands.. which if they suggested a mid week friendly they would do.

I expect the RFL will hope we're knocked out the CC so they can schedule it in during a cup weekend.

CC weekend has been said on another forum, but how do they expect us to play the Sundaty after the final?

Two games in two days is taking the

It's called the big picture, not that I expect any Bradford fans to understand that...

of course we understand "the big picture" it's a David Hockney piece at the Tate

What a load of twaddle. The RFL have bent over backwards to help generate interest in RL in London and the embarrassing "crowds" that flock to the Union ground that you now call home show that it is a completely pointless exercise.

In fact, the very fact that you seem to rate a warm up game for Manly as being more important to Quins than league points pretty much emphasises this.

Perhaps the RFL should have a look at these opinions and revoke the SL licence for Quins (or whatever they will be called in 2012) because it is obviously of lesser importance to them these days.
