I was thinking about this last night-I think what we could consider is a director of rugby who overseas all rugby matters including the first team and the youth development and brings it all together.

Maybe this guy

I think every Harlequins fan sees us as a weaker playing squad than last year, and all but one club has made improvements. We look at the table and think it isn't too bad, and a win yesterday or at least a spirited performance would have gone along with the 'yeah it's not too bad attitude'.

We sound like we are paying for a period of poor management behind the scenes, and it will take time to recover. At the minute no-one will want to take the chance a pay to come and see the poor standard of rugby league offered by the home team. Hopefully we can find some spirit and remedy that, because a relatively weak roster matched with poor spirit will only further dishearten fans.

Away support is visibly scant on the ground, we have been hemorrhaging home support because of the last 18 months and it is a big expense to travel North-South and then South-North these days so it is understandable for away support to listen in on the radio or wait for the highlights.

We need another Lenagan figure to come in and help Hughes with the burden to help us move back to where we were, because at the minute we are paying for poor office work, and the team needs investment to marry the increased off the field work.

The basic remit is the same one that we had when we first became Harlequins RL; the media may have changed a little and the country may be a little worse off, but a strong work ethic on and off the field, an entertaining matchday experience in a vibrant Super League, where Harlequins are competitive.

We could do alot worse than follow these, as long as the team decides it wants to roll their sleeves up and put some Super League level effort in.

Also I think the club missed a trick on making the ground look full on Saturday. I understand that the Aussies and Kiwis are that interested in Super League, rather than our club, but given that Anzac Day was only a few days before the game, why not give every person who turns up in a New Zealand or Australia jersey, everyone who sings the Aussie or Kiwi national anthem out loud, everyone who shows their passport at the turnstile, (preferably after giving some details) a free ticket.

Like it or not this is a popularity contest and it was embarrassing to see the level of fans who sat in the stands. My mate cried off on the morning of the game, and I told him he didn't miss much and probably did the right thing. We were helped by a few union boys who watched their game beforehand and a there must have been a fair number of STH's who did the bring a friend.

I was not happy with the performance, and hopefully a year of rebuilding on and off the field.
