See it's not an either/or situation, we'll have those two points off you later in the season

This Manly game has been give a big push in London, you think they are gonna scrap that? get real.

Mick couldn't be happy with this, on the VT he is saying he is mad with the fact Bulls have the fixture list of:
Game off, game, game off, game, game.
Giving you the two points would not resolve this issue, so not everyone is happy

Gives lynch and tupou an extra week to recover, they might have to contend with bird as well then so its not all bad.

I am loving this.

Seeing all the Bulls fans sulking, because the big bad RFL are not putting them first.

AAAwwwwwwww didums.

You will play when the RFL/SKY want you to play.

Get used to it.

All GW?? I`ve counted about three. Go on then four. This particular Bulls` fan is quite happy in the knowledge that Manly will get a warm up before they play the Whinos in the WCC

in a similar way to how you've got used to not being allowed into superleague

On the playing side this isn't too bad for Bradford. One lesse game on feb (which is the wettest month of the year) is one less game for players to get soft ground related injuries in. It also means that we've more chance of winning this game as Quins will really notice the extra fixture if it's earlier in the season.

RL in London has been given the big push in London for long enough and there is still very little interest in the game. The game v Manly will change nothing at all.

I realise that you are a little hard of understanding on such issues so perhaps you should just continue to live in your little fantasy bubble.

They will not scrap the game, that much is obvious but to even think that it will make any difference to future Quins crowds is utter folly. People (Oz ex-pats) may well come to watch Manly, but that is where there interest will end.

However, as I will say again, if you value a friendly as more important than a league game then I find that puzzling. Admittedly, Quins are never involved in meaningful big games so I guess that they will have to cash in at any chance they get.

<cough, cough>

You're a bit quick with the insults today. Shall we assume all London fans are insecure, patronising fscktards with a Napolean complex?

I don't see it as a big deal. We all have to be flexible about fixtures these days anyway, especially at this end of the season. Play the friendly, I wouldn't expect anything else at this kind of notice. Pretend it will make a difference to your club's crowds and general standing if you really want to push the boat out, but don't pretend that local advertising endeavours are more relevant than the primary business of the league. That's just silly.

I think you're being unkind. The "nur nur nur my dad's a policeman" school of debate is a dying art. Its nice to see it alive and well and being practiced by a mod.

On the whole I'd rather he wrote in text speak and then he'd be the complete poster.

Looks like the mods are taking over this thread. . . . . . . .
