Good post.
Hughes is losing the plot and grasping at straws. Pathetic.

If we do change names, will you become the Harlequins RL rupe1?  |

I will absolutely enjoy explaining it to everybody if it happens. Friends, family, colleagues. Everybody.

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif |

Perhaps this has more to do with investors and sponsors who don't recognise the difference between Harlequins RU and RL undermining our ability to attract investment into the club a problem faced by the Board and staff and not those that post on here. The club has already changed the logo and name to Harlequins Rugby League due to feedback that the kids and probably their families thought RL stood for Rugby Lessons. I doubt the club expect a mere name change and different coloured kit to resolve everything but is part of a wider strategy of raising our profile and separate identity.
As for mere spectators I only have annecdoatal evidence regarding a few union fans that I know but the recognition of the league side is non existent since we changed names. They thought we disappeared several years ago.

If successfully driving a club into the ground is going to the the top of his list of achievements, he is welcome to them  |

Read it again......
Quote: Moe Lester "I suggest that anyone who lives down south, supports RL and is confused between the RL shirt and the Union one needs to look in a mirror ![]()
Do you reckon my tongue was in my cheek?
Quote: Moe Lester "There is so much wrong with that. I wouldn't be able to tell you were the colours were on a RL shirt or a RU shirt but I'd be able to tell you black, green, grey, magenta and brown made up the shirts and I'm a fan. The shirts are so similar (obviously), there's no way you can label people "morons" or what not based on this.'"
Good job I didn't then isn't it 
The rest of your post made sense BTW..... |

So he's immune from criticism? Good to know.
Laughing stock of Super League? Absolutely. |

Dunno about laughing stock, but if its wasn't for DH all of us wouldn't have a club to argue about!! |

Hughes is no fool, as such I suspect this is being driven by the RFL. It sounds like they are involved in a longer term plan where we have our own ground. Maybe they see our own identity as essential to that so are wanting that part to happen sooner rather than later.

No he's not immune from criticism. But he deserves a basic level of respect from our fans if you ask me. You and Lister seem very pro 'quins'. Why? I really don't get it. its a naff old rugby union name with a daft kit. What do you like so much about it? |

If this link works it should show what the unionites think of the renaming goings on. I have to say I'm surprised at how some of this stuff is almost sensible, with a number of obvious exceptions who are clearly talking complete and utter bollo!
