I was not at the game on Saturday, but from what I have read the performance was the worst this season. Could the training in the week have had something to do with the lacklustre display, I'm wandering was there some sort of punch-up/fight and the team is now divided, I'm just guessing/looking for excuses as to why we performed so badly ?????

Also, why do the club always seem to hold back about telling the fans about injuries???? All they said about Howell was he was injured in training, why did they not come out and say what and how the injury occurred, what is there to hide as it always comes out in the end.

David told me he was in a collision with Purdo during training....

What was Sam Tomkins doing at one of your training sessions?!

Apparently full contact training on Thursday

Maybe not a good idea to have full contact on a Thursday before a Saturday game, to me it does not leave a lot of time to get over even minor lumps/bumps/bruises etc.

Do other Clubs do the same ???

Do they have the same routine for away games ???

This sounds as stupid as England cricket squad playing soccer on the morning of a Test, to warm up?

Just seen on the BBC website that Howell's season is finished as he has a fractured eye socket. Once again we here about these things from outside sources rather than from the Club(website). Big loss for us.

rlBBCrl have it now, but nothing on the quins site

bye bye play offs

Dragons and possibly still Hull will come past us.

It's on Quins site now and news is worse in that Temata, Ward, Orr and Robinson are all injured too.

Just can't believe our luck. It seems since we became Quins, we have been cursed with freak injuries or injuries to key players at the same time.

When will our luck change? Can't help it but I feel sorry for us and our club today.

In my wallowing self-pity, I forgot to say get well soon David. You will be sorely missed.

A least Clubb will be back for the weekend.
Robinson wont be much of a miss, we have plenty who can cover the back row and Gale can come in for Orr and play 7.
Maybe Gigot will get a call up? Probably not though

Teams falling apart........looks like we might get another spanking at home.

Its going to be tough watching Salford fill their boots.......shall I go to the pub for anaesthetic before or after the game?....best play safe and do both.

It's going to be a long day, UTS!
