Apart from that fact that Howell is a centre, you are otherwise correct.

....stop feeding him.
His type hark back to the good old days of going bust, bouncing around london and supping VB with the players.....and they HATE union for no fathomable reason.

He might have come out with a complete load of rubbish in the past but on this occasion he is spot on I'm afraid.

What is it that people on here expect. Regardless of what spin we were given at the forum, we can't afford top quality players whilst we are running on a low income and we are no way near the cap....not by a long shot. Wilkes is another example of a middle of the road player who has decided to come to London...of that there is no doubt, but until we are running on a much higher level of income, then we can't afford these marquee players that some crave so much.

As for our average team, we have 3 CURRENT England internationals in our squad....when was the last time a London RL team could say that?

I am not trolling. I was a serious fan of the London Broncos. I despise everything about how the club became Harlequins RL. How anyone can dispute that wearing those colours is a shame to Rugby League I find astonishing - the fake blood scandal from the Union club shames us even more.

Even leaving aside that, McDermott has assembled the dullest squad in Super League playing the dullest rugby in front of less and less interested people. I don't see why stating that a turd is a turd is trolling.

Yep, lets just settle for middle of the road, fade away and die. We need a miracle if this is all we can afford and attract. No matter what we can and can't afford, rupe1 is right in the fact that this recruitment is not good enough.

And there we have it folks.....

You have a chip on your shoulder about the tie in with Union. Were you or have you ever been directly affected by the role of the RFU in the treatment of RL or are you just another sad little "we hate Union" numpty?

This is the 21st Century you silly little man. Without IL and without Harlequins agreeing to the tie up, there would be no London RL in the top flight. I am not chuffed wearing the quins colours, but that stems from me spending 2 seasons playing against them for London Irish......but I bite the bullet and pay my way for the love of Rugby League.
Do you still hold a grudge against The Germans or Japs for their behaviour in the war towards POW's? Do you think all followers of mohamed are terrorists.....and do you believe that anyone outside of the top echelons of power in the RFU give a flying f^ck about League?
FFS, they wouldn't have won the RU World Cup without League coaches and players and most of the Union supporters I know freely admit this.
Yes, you are a troll, because every post you come out with revolves around Big Bad Nasty Union...
Get a life

Was....

The club became Quins cuz the other option was to fold.
If you despise this it can only be because you preferred the other option.
Now, do what Gutterfax suggested you (or storming) should do.

We have recruited a SL player from the team that will finish 5th or 6th this year and Rupe1 isn't happy?

How times fly
July 2007
...and 2 years later no other SL team has decided to snap Calvert up either so, let's recruit from CH1 then...that'll keep it happy.

It was that devastating that I am leaving the UK as a result
