| I hope each and everyone one of you feel totally ashamed of the so called performance you put out on Saturday and are ashamed to look at your reflection in the mirror. The sad thing is as fans we know you won’t because you think you are above reproach.
You are all guilty of killing this club, abject, clueless, witless, couldn’t care less, pathetic, cowardly performances time after time is a killer. You show no pride, passion, bravery or interest and can’t even get the basic schoolboy rugby levels right.
What really annoys me is there are so few true fans left out there who work hard for a living and choose to spend their spare cash on a season ticket and they are being let down time after time because you lot have a couldn’t care less attitude. We pay up front and commit to watch you and it’s a shame you can’t show the same commitment to us. You are well paid and probably a damn site better paid than 95% of the fans left on the terrace. We know the season ticket is not expensive but the getting backwards and forwards to matches, food and drink etc is both time consuming and expensive for a lot of the fans but we do it – heaven knows why….
I would hope you would be too embarrassed to collect you pay packet this week but we all know that is a futile wish as you have to have a conscience to refuse the pay pack and none of you have that.
I have watched this team for a good many years and can say Saturday was one of the most disgraceful performances ever. You have nothing to offer or if you have you are keeping it very well hidden.
Gus is being slated for not selling the club and losing fans hand over fist but to be honest on this one thing I do not lay the blame of fans leaving at his feet I lay it at the team’s lack of pride and commitment, no one – not even the almighty himself could build crowds while you lot run around the field like headless chickens at best and a load of Jessies at worst and achieving absolutely nothing.
Wonder if you will show any pride or commitment on the box on Saturday – bet a few will because it’s contract time and you probably need a new job because I would hope and pray none of you get renewed contracts next year.
I am not a fan of Craig Gower but he is the exception to the rule as he tries to get the game going but with a team of lazy misfits he has a hard job and that is probably why he looks angry all the time.
Am I angry - you bet your life I am

I suggested on Saturday that they should have been made to give their wages to the MacMillan collection that was going around the Stoop on Saturday.

| It needed saying as we have not been at the races for the last 3 years. We blamed the towel for the way we were playing, but what has changed only the coach, the way we are playing is still the same as we were before Tony Rea took over so it must be the players fault.

| The players have a great chance to achieve something this season. The Challenge Cup, a semi would look great on a CV. But if we lose to the Eagles, they will be a laughing stock. So no pressure boys!

| I don't think its over the top, and its not just about Saturday. The players are indifferent, and paying supporters have a right to express their feelings. At least the OP seems to care. I sent the players an email via the club. It was slightly blunter. It won't make any difference but I felt better for it!

I think we've played much worse than we did on saturday. Not that that's a ringing endorsement but....

I remember a game against Catalan last year or the year before (Karl Pryce was playing for us) and we were a lot worse - the defensive line kept running backwards as everyone was too tired to tackle.
We were worse in the Widnes game at the start of this season, and I remember a game against Wakefield last year where we were physically very weak.
We were outclassed on Saturday, but I still think we've improved since the start of the season.

simpsons/017.jpg Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |

| I understand the frustration but I too think the op's comments are way over the top (maybe i've seen so many shallackings that I've become a bit immune to it).
It puzzles me to hear any of our fans saying that they're not fans of Growler. Yes, he looks a miserable, hard barsteward but the guy has given 120 % in every game he has played for us (and rarely misses a game even though the bloke can barely walk after a game (not to mention the late challenges and general roughing up he gets in every game).
If we had a team full of CG's, I'd be very happy.

| Well over the top. The OP was obviously not at Salford last year which for me was the depths. Wigan are a class act and Slippery Sam is something else. Yes it frustrates me that we can't do the basics well and it was chalk and cheese from the week before.

| Agree Paddock, I've barely been able to sleep since the Salford debacle last year
How lucky that the hotel bar was open until the wee hours

| I agree Mr Gower has given a big effort. He doesn't get any protection from the ref...more worryingly he doesn't get any protection from his team mates. London don't have an enforcer....look at what happens to anyone having a pop at the more vulnerable Leeds or Warrington players....anyone in his position would look p@ssed off all the time
