Tough game this one. Quins like Cas will see today as a good opportunity to bring their bad run to a end and pick up 2 points.

We looked as knackered as Rocky in the 15th against Ivan Drago at the end of the Wakey match but, hopefully we're all fresh and recovered.

Massive massive match.

Good win today, towards the end of the game we looked to have found the confidence in attack we had at the start of the season.

However,the defence will have to improve a lot given who we are playing next week.

Any news on Isa's injury?...it didn't look good

Cas U20s won 46 - 24. Eden got 3 tries!!! Time to give him a go if Isa is out and Youngquest is still not available.

On his past couple of appearances I'd give Thompson a starting place. He was fantastic today.

All in all a decent performance today. The final 20 minute blow out covering for a distinctly average first 60. As TM said, we need to control games better, and we kept letting Quins back into it before stepping up and playing more like we did earlier this season.

A needed win gained though, and hopefully a corner turned. Next week will be a huge test of where we are.

I said at half time we were lucky to be in front but should of blown them away ?? odd i know but they were poor but we tried so hard to gift them the game. Second half they stayed poor but started to play to a pattern and completed our sets. easy win not a good display.

Thompson deffo mom was a revelation in the second row

Ferres is fast becoming one of our best players, he has been immense over the past few games

After the game he was up on his feet and walked out of the ground, so hopefully nothing too bad!

Apparently new rule if you are injuredon opposite side of field to players entrance you have to be stretechered off. TM said this in press conference. Isa not too serious.

According to the bloke stood next to me on the railway end for the first half, he's crap, not up to SL standard, and shouldn't be on the park along with Richie Owen, Fozzie, Jones, Orr and about half the team ...

I never really rated Jordan Thompson, he changed my mind today. For me it was the Rangi Chase show. Four tries and a hand in numerous others.
