I saw more enthusiasm and the players that played well last year by and large played well today. BJB is obviously a handy addition. But that still leaves us way short is most departments.

It was 20 minutes before we had the ball in the opposition half and besides 5 minutes the 1st half was dreadful

There is just no creativity for me and no stage was there ever a thought in my mind that we would win

Liked the simplified seating arrangements, probably about the crowd expected...........poor and for all those who derided me for saying that replica shirts should have been available before Xmas by saying as long as they were there for the start of the season its OK................well they weren't and its pathetic

And to see a quote from the coach saying

"I was excited by our defensive performance in front of our try line."

well we would all be delighted by that if there was any hope of scoring at the other end but at home against a team who we would probably consider in our mini league then I am not sure its enough to get excited about

Please support Rob Purdham's testimonial season:



Tend to agree about the ingenuity in attack. However I thought the defence was superb. I also thought the attendance looked bigger than it might have been for the same fixture last year. To me we looked badly in need of a run out prior to this game.

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom, for trying to change the system from within I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them First, we take Manhattan - then we take Berlin:1795.jpg



Defence was excellent.

Attacking was ... variable. No platform in the middle and a bit too rushed when it went out wide. But we had so little possession in Wakefield territory that it was obvious we weren't going to win.

Crowd ... I thought it looked around or just over 4,000 but it's been announced as 3,800ish?

Thought both sides better in defence than attack - not surprising for so early in the season (when I could see properly - why didn't I remember to bring my baseball cap icon_biggrin.gifOH: ). The difference seemed to me to be the number of errors and penalties against us which meant Wakefield must have had a significant advantage in terms of territory. Goal line defence - and it was excellent at several times in the game - only goes so far. We have to cut them out, but again - first game. If there has to be a choice I'd rather start slow and pick it up than follow last year's pattern.

Glad I did not either buy a season ticket or even attend todays match. The club is going no where upwards this season. Plus without any really major signings fans are going to be watching the same dross as in recent seasons.

We need new investors before this season ends and the board must risk funds for real marketing otherwise the 30 year 'trial' in London will end within a season or two. icon_cry.gif icon_cry.gif icon_cry.gif icon_cry.gif icon_cry.gif icon_whisper.gif

Sadly, without investment on the pitch, all the marketing in the world won't put bums on seats. It seems that unless significant investment is forthcoming, we are on a downward spiral despite not so supermac's predictions.

Glad I did buy a season ticket even though I didn't attend today's match.

Who is this "We" of which you speak?

And the support you are giving to the board? Nowt.

You kept telling us last year that you were going so by now you must surely be gone? So, now go and devote your energies to something you're interested in, eh.

think its very negative on here. personally thought quins played some good rugby today. defence was superb including being on the line for three sets. also thought they moved the ball nicely out wide which needed some desperate tackles.
ollie wilkes will give 100%, jones bishop looks a brilliant prospect and with the class players of dorn and purdham to come back i think quins could do ok

glad to get away with the points today

It may be negative and that is probably clouded by the fact I haven't seen us win since early June and our next five games are:

Warrington
Catalans Dragons
Melbourne
Hull
Leeds

And I can't see us winning any of those either.

Yes, correct. 8 months since a home win, a grim battle for bottom place awaits! This is our thinnest squad since 2001.
So much for early season enthusiasm. Still BJB what a player, how long before Leeds recall him. Boo hoo.

If we can compress the opposition defenses under the post and whip the ball wide quickly to him so its a 'one - on - one' situation then he will score us loads of tries. However, BM never managed to do this with Dorn so I doubt he will manage it with BJB either. Lets pray for lots of broken play for him.
