| Great move if true.. let us all take the blinkers off and stop hating another code/sport because of history. In this day and age people will obviously still hold grudges and have reservations, thats understandable, however Quins RU have gone from 1st division to play-off positions in 1/2 years under Mark Evans. Admittedly the team is run by a different and very well disciplined respected man - Dean Richards...who is a mirror image of a certain Brian Mc.
I think this has the potential to rocket us forward, with "one club" running two codes...they are not competing with eachother, there can be "one structure" in place so both teams can work to meet targets, train together, gain advice/experience from eachother... Oh and its clearly better than us worrying about Ian L leaving and us being broke.
I guess I'm one of those rare breeds of rugby fan, I can enjoy and understand the strengths and weaknesses in both codes. I'm sure we'll get the very anti on both sides - those on this board and RL in general who can't stand the thought of us having a nice stadium, future stability and a more than strong financial base to keep us in Superleague past the 3 year licence renewal period. With also those Quins RU fans that I must admit can be very blinkered and closed to the thought of a league outfit even being allowed to warm up on the Stoop pitch!
Lets rid ourselves of this boring hatred for Union and I'd say the exact same to them....League should be given every chance and is an awesome sport itself.
Anyway, enough rambling....I hope this comes to fruition and Quins Rugby can be a great success in both codes/tournaments.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND LIFE CAN BE FUN!!

i just don't see the point, if you don't like something leave it alone,'"
So opinions should be censorted on message boards if others might not like them and throw a paddy if someone dislikes Rugby Union?

| Quote: gutterfax "and with that attitude, is it any wonder that the Union lot don't come along.
I watch both games and as I can understand the rules of both, as well as the tactics used, I can enjoy both.
I freely admit that Union is becoming very very very tedious at the moment and their constant tinkering with the rules is making the game a kickathon, but I will still watch and appreciate some of the finer things about it.'"
So because Penguin doesn't like Union, their fans won't bother coming to watch RL? Have a laugh.
I can also understand the rules of both as well as the tactics used, I have even played Rugby Union, but I cannot enjoy Rugby Union as a sport and I cannot enjoy the RFU. Tough. Get over it and stop bleating about how we should all be sympathetic towards RU and get into it. I'm not going to go and speak to staunch RU supporters and tell them how their sport is sh*t and they should start watching RL, its their opinion, they are welcome to their crummy, inferior sport, and its highly unlikely they will ever change their mind. And neither will I.
Rugby Union can collapse and disappear for ever for all I care. Heres to hoping!

| Is this the same announcement that David Hughes hinted at at the season launch. He said then " in a few weeks..........."
During the Spanish Civil war in the 1930s the republicans had a song with the line -
" one day soon all Spain will be a republic".
They are still waiting............

As I was reading it I was thinking isn't that the bloke from HKR.
So is this bloke basically CEO then?

| Great news - seems to have all the right credentials. I wonder what the HKR fans think, why did he leave them?
You would think that the club could spell Surrey on its website though!

| Quote: Dave Lister "
With regards to your final paragraph, being very stereotypical, but IMO fairly, a rugby league fan is a different breed to a rugby union fan and I personally would be disgusted if our club began to be followed by this other "type". We have a fantastic following as it is, the people are out there all over London and the South of England, and just need to be tempted in.'"
Just out of interest, where do you think the majority of London based Academy & younger Reserve players learnt to play rugby?
At least 3 of the current fringe first team squad are ex-union players - do they disgust you?

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| As far as I'm concerned they could have appointed Clive Woodward provided he did a good job for us. I get more than a little cheesed off with this bizarre inferiority complex that a number of League supporters have about RU, which (it might pain them to realise) isn't bothered one way or the other about us.
