I dont think Mcrea would know a class player if he fell over one, He has assembled a bunch of losers and once again salford have become whipping boys. Thanks coach!!!!

dont know if you noticed but the Shed applauded your guys off the pitch last night and its probably the third time thats happened over the years. Its not a slight on your team(who were excellant by the way) more a comment on the poor showing by our guys.

Because it's not a slight on your side, you are a good team. It's just that we're very, very poor. If you'd seen us more than just the once this season, you'd understand.

You are indeed a good team, better than what I was expecting although I haven't seen Quins play since last season. I thought both forwards & backs ran the ball in hard and you don't appear to have any real weaknesses in the team. However, looking at the tries we conceded on The Super League Show we were appalling in defence (stating the obvious I know ). Without taking anything away from Quins they didn't need to do much in attack to create the openings it was pretty much basic one on one tackling and poor positional play that let us down for virtually all the tries. Our defence has gone down the pan since '06 and we don't look like we can stop any team scoring if they get into our 20m area. The defensive line moves up far too slow allowing oppo's to get up a head of steam which puts us continually on the back foot. FWIW, I think Quins will finish top 8 this season and won't be far off top 6 as you've got some quality players (Dorn/Orr/Louis M-S to name a few) and not many teams will do a number on you.

I saw it and I appreciated it as I have done on the other occasions - can't recall it happening at any other ground in 12 years of doing all the away trips.

I enjoy the trip to Salford, from the feel of the ground, to the people I speak to and a friendly drink in the bar afterwards.

I hope your season picks up.

Cheers
