Wrapped the game up early.

Played solid rugby for the remainder.

Quins were very poor.

Some players starting to find some form at a good time for us.

i think this argument is purley out of anger/frustration at sam kicking out in the tackle at sculthorpe. there is a major difference between deliberately trying to take someones head off with an elbow and someone recklessly kicking out to try to milk a penalty/ or play the ball quickly. It doesn't matter whether a clean connection was made the intent was there. it was a bad attempt. and as for the comment about a rugby players instinct, there are some nasty f uckers that play this game and for those types there instincts can be to cause an injury. fortunately these players are in the minority. i dont know much about the quins player and im not suggesting he is a dirty player but it was a bad tackle.

I think snowie is failing massively at his trolling attempt.

who got sky MOM?

Tomkins I think

I thought it might have been Bailey.

Bails was Sky MOM, S Tomkins was Sponsors MOM at the game

I was surprise at how poor Quins were to be honest. The game was never in doubt before Howell got sent off. They looked lethargic.

I thought Joel Tomkins had a good game for us, as did TL and Riddell played the best I have seen him. Not sure what happened to Pat getting out jumped twice and he left the kicking boots very much at home.

Sam's kicking was excellent and a nice moment when the announcer made the MoM award about a minute after he got sin binned

I had forgotten how huge Pryce is. Not quite sure what to make of his display. I don't think he did much wrong but he looks off the pace which is understandable.

We got the points but overall not a very high quality game and in the end we ended up at Quins level as it got scrappy which is IMO almost inevitable.

Dave

Pat - Out jumped a couple of times and his conversions were simply rank.

Not one of his better games - Get it sorted lad..!

For the try where he was out jumped he was always an outside bet, he was turning and had no momentum. Ainscough would have been hung out to dry though had he made the same play.

thought phelps put another very solid game

dont think anyones mentioned o'loughlins pass for carmonts try class, farrell-esque

He's doing very well at fullback.

I admire his bravery. He'll put his body on the line and thats always great to see in any fullback.
