True, that goes for Wakey too but it may not save us.
Suppose thats different though.

What protection is that? Please expand

To be fair I dont recall them being in a promotion place when Superleague was formed either....

| The first two games were against poor opposition in reality, both those teams were playing badly but quins rightly won.
Third game was against Leeds and they won away from home, that was a bit of a freak result but it just so happened to be third game of the season and they had won their two previous games.
They looked classy against Saints but other than that I didn't see anything which made me think Quins could stay in the top 4.
Same with Cas, wait till their fixture list gets rather tough.

| There's no depth to the team. The squad is knackered.

I admit that we have had a number of what would appear the easier games at home than other clubs have had so far, but you can only beat what is in front of you.
We have beaten Huddersfield, who in my opinion, are one of the best sides in Super League, we have beaten Catalans, who Wigan and Warrington have failed to do.
We have beaten Hull KR, who beat the 'Mighty Leeds', so at what point should these tough games come along.
To be honest i cant wait until we play some of the 'Bigger name' clubs, because from some of the games i have seen this year on sky, Leeds, St Helens, look a shadow of their former self, and playing these teams do not worry me like they would in the past.
Whichever way it goes, at least we can stop hearing this drivel from fans of other clubs who give Cas no credit based on the clubs we have played so far.
Keep writing Cas off, it's the way it always has been, and probably always will be
This post may come back to bite me but for now i will enjoy what has been a great start to the season, and i am eagerly awaiting the tougher tests ahead

I must have missed the sticky thread that said all threads relating to Harlequins and London must include a detailed analysis (or not) of why they exist and are in Superleague. I was under the misapprehension that this thread might be about our current loss of form, but of course that would be ridiculous.
To those posters that say we London fans are ALWAYS banging on about the development work in London, well maybe if you stayed on topic instead of turning every thread into an anti-London rant you wouldn't be hearing that response quite so often.
Add Wakey to the long list of sides we are keeping out of Superleague... even though they are still in it.

Don't remember them originally getting in by finishing in a promotion place either!.

Completely agree, you can't talk about Quins or Crusaders without poeple just starting to slag them off.
Back to topic, from what i've seen-which is mainly try highlights it looks like Quins are conceding a lot of tries on the fringes to me. Maybe it's caused by previous plays and they are on the backfoot. Maybe a Quins fan can enlighten us?
From what I can see, the injuries seem to be in the pack-Krasniqi, Golden, Ambler missed a couple, as did Burnett and Bryan. Maybe the forwards they have got fit are just a bit shot at?

| Ok enough with the Quins bashing, they were never really likely to stay top, but anything around midtable is a great result for them, after a few years with McDermott, its a miracle they can play at all. Cas will not finish top either, but again if they are in the top 8, thats a real acheivement. Good work by both teams, i hope it continues

| I'll have a go then Jonny. Here we have a team (Crusaders) in the elite league of our once great sport, gets quite alot of TV coverage (all be it on SKY), and they haven't even got a main shirt sponsor and neither have they many players sponsored either.
To keep this thread sort of on topic, Quins place in SL is nothing to do with success or failure

For a minute, I thought you were being serious till I realised it must have been a joke, because only someone with slurry between his ears could actually be serious about that post. Good effort.
Good attempt to cover the fact that the truth hurts old luv. It's all blah blah waffle, you're the sort who have been making the same excuses for year and can't admit they have been wrong all along - I'd rather have slurry between my ears than continually spew out your particular brand of bull - jog on you dull little man.

Why, who made them a protected species - oh yeah I remember now.
