I completely agree. And they should be allowed 14 players on the pitch at once, should get 6 points for a try instead of 4 and should get 3 league points for a win.

Quote: Liversedge Wildcat "I think a lot of the Quins problems stem from being linked to RU. If we are trying to expand RL then it seems nonsense to play from the home of union, its a similar situation with Leeds Carnegie playing at the home of one of the biggest names in rugby league, their crowds are crap and always will be. I don't really remember where London went wrong although I am sure someone will remind be. I seem to remember going to Fulham and there being 10000 plus there and having a great time. I think the main thing now is to get their own identity and stick with it.'"


Leeds seem to manage to represent Yorkshire, and Harlequins seem to draw support from a wide area, just not enough of it from every part of London and the south east.

Leeds have played for a crowd of less than 1500 against Gloucester and got over 12000 against the same team with an adult and child for a fiver deal.

Harlequins RL are to play at the Stoop for the next three years so the ground is not going to change.

What makes people think the RFL can run a club? What happens when a player is up on report - will Nige have to appeal to himself to let his own player off? Will he have to submit a license application to himself? If they don't get Club of the year every year does that mean the RFL haven't lived up to their own standards? When they win the Challenge Cup will Dickie Lewis shake hands with himself at the pre-match presentation?

Instead of the RFL doing it - just hand the money to Gutterfax. He has all the answers. Would he come back though? Would he answer the call . . . . . ?

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Te...er Gutterfax.

Quote: deeHell "It would be funny to see Quins have so much favouritism that they would be able to put a team out with the quality to win the Grand Final! The big 4 would see their cosy monopoly under threat! That’s why it would never happen, it's ok to bend the rules a little to gain an edge over the likes of Wakey, Cas and Salford but threaten the big boys and all hell will be let loose!'"


It looks like someone has a massive chip on their shoulder. icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: Captain Library "Really important point. The marketing's all wrong. You can't market a rugby league club under a union moniker in the shadow of Twickenham. Quins RU fans won't want to follow a league team as well, and your Saracens and Wasps fans and so on won't want to watch a team under the guise of Harlequins. The Quins brand cannot and will not sell rugby league on any major scale when it has such an identity crisis.

It may seem counter-intuitive to target an area with more of a football presence, but it's ironically an easier sell. The club does, however, need to be strong on the pitch to be able to get crowds which can be a bit of a chicken and egg scenario without the fans and revenue...

The London question is a difficult one given its nomadic history, but the union link is definitely more suffocating, IMO, than any previous London identity.'"
