"Harlequins FC, who play in the distinctive quartered shirt have turned to Sotic to provide them with the latest generation of on line services. After a period of review during the summer Harlequins selected Sotic to undertake a complete rebuild of their online presence, including websites for Harlequins Rugby Union, Harlequins Rugby League and their Online Shops. The Rugby Union and shop sites were launched last week, with the Rugby League site following prior to the next Super League season."

I think we get a fairly equal mention above.

typed a monster reply.....but I am just to tired and pi55ed off to post it.
As regards those rose coloured spectacles you are weraing......specsavers springs to mind
Why do you think the RFL have marketed the Manly game......more so than we have marketed anything over the last 3 years? Might it be they feel the same way as me?

If you've typed it - post it. I really don't see (specsavers or not) what the problem is. If you have only just realised that Quins RU is much bigger than Quins RL and are pulling the strings then I don't know what you expected.

I have expected too much from this "partnership" and as such, feel let down by the false promises of "joint" areas of operation. You only had to see the reaction of one very hard working member of staff by the end of the Festive day to understand the amount of work being "un-shared" with our bigger brothers. And, this is my point....IF they want it to work and IF they want an additional revenue stream, then THEY have to help us.
I can't say for sure, but there is a certain attitude bordering on arrogance eminating from Quins RU as they are self sufficient and have done really well.....but I also get the impression that Mr Evans is looking at the bigger picture and thus the rumoured Joint CEO path.
I just get a little ( ) miffed when some people think all is rosey in the TW2 garden, when it isn't or even worse, we feel the need to accept out lot and know our place .
Plus, I am getting nervous regarding how much beer I will have to buy you

Looking forward to the beers mate. I realise everything isn't rosy and life ain't perfect and the club needs all the help it can get which is why I have volunteered to help when I can.

I reckon the manly crowd will be very close to the Pies season opener last season. Anyone fancy a wager

Have you got some inside info on how sales are going. I reckon 4,000 will be about right. Im not totally convinced about the willingness of large numbers of ozzie temporary residents to get down to watch Manly. My own experience of trying to persuade them has left me a bit of a sceptic

Yes I would like a wager. It will be nowhere near. Let me know details tomorrow.
