"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Fantastic crowd.
Any boos at ft? Or just accept that you were outclassed by a top side?

Just Mr Bentham. He didn't have the best of games, but he wasn't too one sided either, just poor.
I stayed to applaud our 17, and so did alot of Bradford fans. They put the effort in but were outclassed by an excellent Wigan side (particularly S Tomkins who was a constant thorn in our sides) |

According to this article, David Hughes would seriously consider relocating the Quins RL team – you would expect a re-brand at the same time if it were contractually possible
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 398625.stm
There is a dilemma for London RL at the moment – there is no doubt that the sport has suffered through a series of name and location changes meaning that the foundation of support that comes from stability hasn’t emerged
Should they persevere with the Quins name and the Stoop as a home? Difficult one, as I firmly believe that you have to invest time and effort for success but there is simply no denying that Harlequins Rugby Union are widely regarded as the most aristocratic and upper class of all the Union teams and so I doubt that any Quins RU fans will ever be converted and so the question is whether West London can provide an opportunity to find a local fan base that can grow over the years
I would have to say that on reflection (and not a knee jerk reaction to today’s gate) they should look for a new home... which is a pity as I will be moving to West London in the next few weeks and so they will have at least +2 a few times this year |

Rugby League in London has never been as healthy as it is today – it is the pro club (well, the elite pro club) that is suffering
Look at the amateur and school RL scene in London and compare it to the 20 years ago and then make the same statement |

What Quins/London have done at grassroots in and around London is unreal and that can't be knocked but the Quins at pro level are not the succes we thought it would be.
The crowds are terrible and to be honest i don't think it's working at the pro level. |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

| Embarrassing crowd. Yet some of their fans still question the need to rebrand and relocate  |

They can stay , they can move , they can rebrand , they can do what they want , but it still won't make an iota of difference , top flight RL in London will never work from a support and sustainability level , ever

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

615 down on last season and apparently quite a few Crusaders supporters made the trip.
