Fulhamcrusaderbroncoquins have never finished in a relegation position.....how's that for a reason?

You took your time , lazy b ugger

widnes actually finished in the one off, extra 'make way for the new french team coming in next year' spot. we never finished bottom of superdooperleague.

These threads serve no real purpose. Yes it was a shocking crowd, you dont have to be a genius to work that out. But its up to the Quins to sort it out, Personaly i think the move from having their own identity to being a bit part player in a much larger brand was a shocking idea. There will only ever be one Quins club gathering support in London.

But stupid things like using the Widnes gate as a stick to beat them with, Im sorry but i would rather people just commented on it being a good gate and stopped trying to use it for some Quins bashing. Quins need to find somewhere in london where the local populace still consider themselves a community within the Borough of London and set up home and real roots there. Get a Target audience and give it the hard sell, It seems like everything they have done since becoming the Quins has been half d. If they cant find somewhere in London, Move to one of the bigger outlying town's like Bracknel.

We need a club in London, We need as many clubs as we can get wherever we can get them, But they have to be capable of doing the right things.

"Great for the game."

Maybe they just need some more time eh.

Yes but they should never have been fast-tracked in the first place.

Cougars! Cougars!



So, what's your next identity going to be to try and help this 30 year experiment become successful?

Maybe i did get a little carried away when i said they didn't have a single english player in their team but only a little carried away

1997 squad shaun edwards, mark maguire, david krause, paul smith, martin offiah, tulson tollett, josh white, matt dunford, peter gill, tony mestrov, steve rorsolen, matt nable, teryy matterson, nick mardon, adrian spencer, roger best, matt slater, mick seaby, andrew hamilton, greg barwick, gilkes thomas, scott roskell, russell bawden, paul terry, robbie beazley, kim howard, tony martin, abraham fatnowna, wes cotton and kerrod toby.

I must say, them names look pretty aussie like to me.

You thought Shaun Edwards and Martin Offiah were Australian?

Anyone who thinks a SL club in London isn't viable doesn't know London. The victory over Leeds a few years ago showed the potential - plucky locals versus arrogant noisy Northerners made for a great atmosphere and a great spectacle.

I even think that with a little thought and creativity, the Quins ground/nameshare can be made to work. Sadly, all I hear indicates that the people in key positions at Harlequins Rugby League (their actual name, Quins RL was dropped some time ago) are utterly clueless. Not Rob Powell, though it remains to be seen how a coach with so little playing experience will fare long term. But Quins have put a good product on the pitch before without it translating into success off it.

Other than the fact more people play the game in this region than any other region in the UK-Maybe they are playing a sport they dont like
