There hasn't been ANY news from the Harlequins RL website since Powell named the 19 man squad to face Catalan last week

I agree....apparently they are all on holiday....ermmm...would have been nice if they'd mentioned that on their website

Would have been nice if they had actually got the score correct too! Has been changed now but......

You've pulled out of a deal to sign Nick Fozzard to sign Mark Bryant instead?!

The silence from the club is deafening. Either they don't know how to interact with their fans/customers or they don't think we are that important. A re-assuring press release would go a long way.

The club website has not been updated in over a week. There's no other word for that other than shambolic.

Positive dope tests and the Death of Harlequins RL

During the 2011 season Harlequins RL confirmed that the club will cease to be in its current guise, and that is not the only death that will happen around the club as Jason Death, the man known as Doctor Death, the former Canberra, North Queensland, South Sydney and Warriors Hooker as has been announced as head coach of the London Super League side from the 2012 season onwards. This is seen as positive news for the cash-rich London club, who have so far struggled to attract signings since announcing their inflated recruitment budget midway through the 2011 Super League season.

The club also announced that it was to plead guilty when a large majority of players were found guilty of breaches of anti-doping regulations after being found positive in dope tests. It is unclear how Chad Randall evaded testers as he managed to get away with being one of the biggest dopes of all, and worse yet he ran away from the club with a two-year contract under his arm.

That's about the most positive me and my little imagination could get, and I reckon the stench of death will hover around Quins until some positive news does start to appear, as we sure as hell need some real positive news.

This despite the club being offered help by two folk who have done media work for them in the past. They were told their services weren't required. Obviously Quins seem to think press relations is an optional extra. Of course, one win in eighteen just sells itself...

Bryant just confirmed on twitter 'I'm off to London for the next 2 years...'

There is finally news on the website and it is positive

Rob Powell said: "Michael (Witt) will provide us with direction around the park. He has fantastic kicking game and is a great footballer. It's exciting bringing him in and he will complement our existing quality play makers."

The other quality play makers being?????

I welcome the announcement, but I get the feeling from the full statement that Powell will not unfortunately be going anywhere soon. Andy Ellis surely deserved more than a brief footnote at the end of the statement.
