dear oh dear oh dear, where to start with this one
Cant believe i am responding to such an embarrassing post, but hey ho. The sport would be embarrassing if it had remained being played through winter by a handful of villages either side of the M62 pal, so be thankful for Quins, Catalans etc that Sky are still interested. We'll await your thank you for the fact that wire are able to finance top players with Sky money.

| Team coach passed us on the way home, not very happy by the look of the faces. Worst performance I have seen from a Quins side, dropped ball, no tackling, no ground made. Huge penalty count didn't help, little discipline. Wire were in our faces from the off and provided a master class of RL and could have had 3 figures but tired near the end.

| What i love about the Quins fans is you actually remember them, it's the same small bunch of guys every time so you don't forget a face. Couple of rotund guys with Gok Wan on the back of their shirts, the guy with the black hat/badges and one arm, all of who are great rugby fans singing and laughing.
I really hope the Quins fan base takes off at some point, they are great for the game.

One of the fashionistas would be Paddock Punter for sure.....he's a big Gok Wan fan......and I think you may have just desrcibed 1 armed Steve...though I am not sure
The few away games I went to were always fun, regardless of the result....

| I know it is a tough question, but what went wrong? And can it be fixed? Sure Wire were on top form, but 82 points? Centre still seems a problem and what has happened to Randall and Howell?

| The guys above and on the 3+4 pages are not true rugby fans.
If you take enjoyment from a team getting 82 points on them then there is something wrong. Yes they were cained with penalties, had injuries and not much support away from home but irrespective of that you should still be supporting the game. Yes it's a big scoreline, yes we were on form on Sunday but to go gloating about it on the quins board isn't nesessery. With not many posts to your name suggestes to me that you haven't been watching the game for along time and that you may not be clued up on all things rugby.
I feel for you quins fans and the quins team when stuff like this happens. But you also have your highs, beaten Leeds and Saints away from home this year is fantastic. I seem to remember you beating saints at home a couple of seasons ago too.

What went wrong? We were simply dreadful. Looked beaten at 12-0.
I have to question Powell's judgement in bringing O'Callaghan back into the side in place of Calderwood - there's no way he should be water carrying. Clubb and Howell continue to look very poor.
As was mentioned on the minibus, now we find out how good Mr Powell really is - this result was either a blip, or the start of a more 'adjusted' run of form.

| i wasnt there so maybe unfair to post, but seems some obvious lessons that i am sure our coach will learn fromdo not change a winning team unless you have to? O'Callagan was a mistake, calderwood had played wel at St Helens, should never have been dropped. Calderwood nack for Hull game, he will want to prove something
[*] I am a huge Howell fan, but he is out of sorts, maybe better to have left him out (confess i would have brought him back)
but in end, if i read and heard right they palyed at their peak, we were 20% down and rthey had one of those days...........................
We need to climb back on the bike and start pedalling..............

| Don't see how Jamie O'C is copping flack - he was dreadfully exposed by those inside him, Pryce in pasrticular for the early tries.
