Nope. But when London Broncos started off and the community programme which we've been paying for started, a certain Mr L. McCarthy-Scarsbrook was 9yrs old......15 years later and he's off to Saints.



128 years of history and instead of sticking to the plan and getting a decent crop of kids you could play for your club, HKA are trying too hard to catch their better run, more recently successful and better supported neighbours.



I wonder which club defines "progress"

Having gone from around 1,500 fans to around 7,500 fans in five years , not bad



How have Quins done on that front since 2005 ?

Terribly......in fact, even worse than that.......Very Very Terribly



No worries though....the RFL keep sending us parcels stuffed with cash so we'll be OK

How exactly are we trying to catch Hull FC??



We finished above them that obviously wasn't good enough, So this year we knocked them out of the play offs which obviously isn't good enough. Mind you at least they've had more players called into the England train on squad

" No worries "

, you're turning Kiwi , you'll be saying " she'll be right " next

Where were we in league standing 3, 5 or 10 years ago? Compare that to Fulcrubronquins, I'd say we've made more progress.





Face it GF, despite having a population of 8,000,000 to dip into, Quins or a minute club compared to Hull KR, despite 30 years of bias and preferential treatment.

You are a card Gutters, with your penchant for irrelevant statistics. I'd think a Quins supporter would appreciate the value of a club "trying too hard" to be better. Much more likely to progress than one which doesn't try at all.

I do.....I really do, given Quins tick various criteria boxes like they:

Play in a modern and well presented stadium,

have a pretty good youth set up at most age groups,

an award winning community team spreading the game throughout the South East,

no other SL club within 20 miles

no bank loans or debts

2 Current England internationals that have been developed by the club from age group to senior team

The lowest number of overseas players in their squad of any SL team, in line with the RFL requirements

Supporters (see below) that do not cause trouble or throw objects onto the pitch.

No breaches of RFL rules or financial irregularities over the last 5 years





...I think Quins are trying very hard, just not in the one area that WE ALL AGREE THEY NEED TO. Lack of fans is a MAJOR issue.....but as David Hughes is committed to propping us up (not the RFL note), we have time on our side.



Still, I'd rather Quins position than some other clubs in SL...

Get some work done ya lazy pom

Prisoner of Mother England



Tea Caddy I can live with, but don't call me English.....and I am just killing time before I am off to play Golf with clients in the glorious wellington sunshine....tough life

Sod off

is that just your acceptance





Like who? Ali Lauitiiti? Danny Buderus? Greg Eastwood? Brett Delany? which out of the 24 year old current Dally M player of the year NZ international, 30 year old SoO captain Current Aus International, 23 year old current NZ international world cup winner, or 23 year old NRL regular were you thinking that where past it?



and the rest?

no your not, you are drawing a ludicrous comparison between Hull Kingston Australias best centre prospect and Leeds 3rd best centre prospect. You are using the fact that Watkins and Gibson got game time ahead of Ratu as justification for Hull Kingston Australia not giving a shot to young English players. It is hilariously nonsensical

where is the excellence then? Where is the excellence in signing numerous players not good enough to play in the NRL regularly?



are you now trying to pretend i havent criticised other clubs for doing the same

you seem to be finding fewer and fewer straws to grasp at
