IF THAT IS ACCURATE THEN IT'S NOT JUST MAC THAT NEEDS TO GO.

very good posting and very measured thoughts, and i agree with virtually everything that has been said

The squad is threadbare, what "stars" do we have?
danny orr is at the back end of his career really lets be honest (although i would not want to be without him this year)
Purds shows class, but needs support
I still think blaming mac for all our woes is pretty short sighted, the coach does not train players to kick the ball out on the full at kick off! he does not train the players to get caught offside at a goal line drop out
one of our best players on the park today is a relative newcomer to Rugby league

the core problem at the moment is finance!!!
it cant be denided we need a couple if not 3 BIG names

I don't think anyone is blaming BMcD for all our woes but our record over the second half of last season and first part of this has been diabolical. He has admitted he is clueless and the team don't seem to want to play for him.

Who picks the team, who decides which players to bring into the squad? The coach. If the players are not good enough they should be dropped and made to further develop their skills. Granted we cannot change the team but is it really different to the beginning of last season before we collapsed? That wasn't about money just poor decision making and dare I say coaching out individual skill sets. This is Mac's team and he has to go, another voice as coach may just have a different reaction to what we see now which is total rubbish. To keep on the present path will lead to no SL team in London. Once out of SL it will be at least 3 years and I suspect many more before we see top class league in London on a regular basis.

daft dad

ok lets drop some of the players who are not performing
lets say drop Clubby, danny orr, LMS
who would you suggest we play in there place!????

WE DO NOT HAVE THE SQUAD TO REALLY COMPETE, thats down to money

Jones, Kaye, May, Smith, Williams - on today's showing they couldn't be worse.

Change your avatar then.

How do we know how much money we spend on our squad if no one at the club wants to offer even a ball park figure.

I've heard:
“Not at, but near the limit” — from Keith Hogg
“1.56 Million” — WireQuin today
“Not the lowest” — another poster

Keith Hogg is a liar. I would trust WQ over him.

Let's face it. None of us know what money is being spent on the squad but we are all agreed that at the moment, whatever it is, is way too much.
There will apparently be a fans forum soon (mentioned on facebook but I can't find it now ) so there will be an opportunity to put questions to everyone at the club. What kind of answers we get is another thing all together.

From the person that spends it



Is it not down to how you spend the money?

Really? Do you have proof? If not then be careful with your verbal attacks on people. I take it as read that if people on this forum don't agree with you they are idiots etc etc etc, Most of us accept that you are the only person who has a valid viewpoint and the only person who could possibly be right but the statement above could be slanderous. I don't know whether or not it is, I don't know what he has told you and what you have proven to be incorrect from those talks but be careful if this is generalisation and without foundation you could bring trouble to this board.

I knew someone would pick on that, and surprise surprise, it is you.

I do not appreciate your accusations that I am making unfounded, slanderous statements.

On the link up with Puma:

"Harlequins Rugby League chairman, Keith Hogg said: “This is very good news for the club and all Harlequins Rugby League supporters."

Lies, the Kooga shirts were a lot nicer. It took months for our shirts to arrive.

Think before you row in next time.

I did not accuse you of making any accusations read my comments carefully before you jump in I said COULD BE not it is slanderous

slaphead, most of us will agree fully with you, but the calls that Mac is not responsible I can't accept at all, something is wrong within the team and the way we play, Mac has had a good chance and he has Failed.

It is totally pointless spending money of marketing, something we have all been critical about, if we do not have the Product on the pitch that will bring fans back over and over again.

I supported fully the move back to The Stoop and the change of name, but I have serious doubts now about the use of the name of Harlequins!

David Hughes has done so much for Our Club and kept us alive, but he can't do it on his own, if we do not make progress off the pitch as well as on then we no longer deserve a Super League place and if we are thrown out will we ever return?

It is the first time since that first day at Fulham V Wigan, that I have felt this way, we have had our ups and down, but currently we are on the knock out count to ten and time is running out.
