good to see the ref going straight for red as they did at the wakey game!! shows consistent policy hope the RFL do the same as well, 1 match ban at least a punch is a punch look forward to seeing if they show it on all the tries on monday or on full show on wed

He's not a washing machine!!!

I seem to remember a certain Greg Bird having a big say in the same fixture last year.

Probably not, but the boys would be singing the song in the sheds and that's the important thing.

We won people. FFS. We won. Look at some of the quotes on here, never mind the title of the thread itself!!!

I saw an English comedian on the telly over here the other day who said "we create misery" in England. Even when it's not there. Fück me. How right is he?

Totally agree Rooster Booster. We won and played quite well and didn't let the Dragons play well (oh dear they were missing Bosch - well we didn't have Dorn, Purdo or Karl T). Encouraged by the yoof - Jamie o'c and Ben Bolger don't look out of place in Super League. Only downside is that Luke Gale may have broken his jaw - certainly doesn't have many teeth left apparently!

I also agree with Rooster. It's amazing the amount of negativity that gets posted on here, and equally amazing how many negative posts there are re the Catalans game from people who weren't there!

Of course we have to improve in a number of areas but this was a decent performance, and a good win, against a side with some very good players. We also had some young London lads in Bolger and O'Callaghan who played very well indeed, and promise a great deal for the future.

In addition a look at the profiles of this years Academy squad in the matchday programme should lift the hearts of all Quins fans, as there are some very good lads not far away from the first team.

What is it about the British that we want to see the problems in everything. Of course we need bigger gates, and yes of course we'd like a star signing, but a bit more positivity on here would on occasions go down a treat.

Very.

I totally agree with you, Kenda.

Why is it that we can't just savour the much needed win?

I am beginning to find these boards a right turn-off because of the OTT doom and gloom.

Christ, I bet David Hughes wonders why he bothers forking out all this dosh to keep our club going.

Anyway, well done Quins - onwards and upwards!

It was a win! Not a great one but a win nevertheless. Catalans were poor without Bosc, made more errors than us but the crucial thing was the timing of the 2nd (just before the break) and 3 rd tries. Excellent hat trick from Will, shame there weren't many folk there to see it. Was at the last win too - but hope it won't be such a long wait for the next! Haven't left the Stoop that happy for a long time!

Thats because its a long time since you saw us win there!

Sharp's catch and try was something else, I never thought he make that.
I also never thought I'd see Greenshield drop a high ball or David Howell be held up one on one - and they both happened.
I thought we played well, support play was excellent, and we didn't let the Catalans get quick plays. Gale played much better mixing up kicking, passing and running and looked good.
BJB has some skills, I actually can't believe he didn't get game time ahead of Lee Smith, and I'm not sure McClennan won't be offering Brent Webb as a swap at this rate.

Agree there are postives but we've just won our first home game in 8 months so lets not get too carried away

D'uh - Target Bell on the wing and lack of speed due to Walters not playing Bently (so no quick ball). I'd make some bantery comment about Ferriol bringing back the Biff, but I hear there was a proper injury.

I for one am very happy. We have not gone for the easy route and got an Aussie even though we are the wooden spoon team. We are promoting our youngsters. I think we are very lucky to have so much more then a normal Super League coach, instead we have a coach who is using the fact that noone gets relegated and has the balls to blood youngsters! Bodes well for the future, and we do have a future. I am in Perth, and I feel from here eben I know we have a future.

First opportunity to post my two penn'oth on the Catalans match as I went on holiday straight after the game.

Ben Bolger was eye catching, very impressed with him. I thought Oliver Wilkes had a sound game as well. Good to see Willie in fine form. The second try was just staggering, absolutely fantastic. A bit different from his showing in the home game v Cats last season! Still can't quite work out Brian Mac's "Will is a cat" quote. Still, we needed the win.
