Well done to Wakey-Good win for you guys. Decided to come and see RL at the top level for the last time at Wakey. Best wishes from Quins for the future.

If you think that was top level then things must be much worse than I thought down there.

Stuart Howarth looks a real find. He's timing and selection of passing is superb. Really impressed with alot of our young british talent

As Kear said on the radio, we deffinately got what we deserved yesterday. Very well played and the scoreline was a fair reflection to me.

Took our eye of the ball in the second half and a better side than London would have made us work much harder in that last 30 given the way we played - but you can only beat whats infront of you and we certainly did that and did it well.

Good to see us throwing the ball around a little and being a bit more creative than the usual.

Well played all round guys.

Matty Wildie looking very promising and thought Griffin keeps improving every week, a fair few deserved MOTM Mariano continuingly impressing, Rinaldi getting better, Jeffries showing what he can bring in attack and Morrison defining what a captain should be. Although defence was poor it was important to go out there and let loose on attack to get plenty of points on the board i'd sooner see this sort of flair in attack every week then see the sort of scorelines that dont reflect our effort in previous matches

Enjoyed yesterdays game, i stood behind the sticks for once. Ive got to say for all our attack was sharp and some well directed passes alot of the quins players were playing halfhearted as if the pitch was too hard to make a tackle on which helped us. Some of the trys we scored were 1st class and it should be a massive confidence booster for them. On the downside anybody who blames the ref for quins getting back into to the must be wearing blinkers, stupid pen after stupid pen and most looked fair enough. Big turning point for me was when the quins player was about to score and gledhill got underneath him to hold him up, that was a fantastic effort.

More importantly now is doubling up against saints on Friday.

Time to dig in and set ourselves up for the Easter weekend in a strong position.

Very happy with the team and with the warm weather coming I think we'll see more.

Attacking play looked good and we need to carry that on.

For my part I don't think the penalties against us were unjust - what he got wrong was that he didn't apply the same rules to both teams. He penalised us for not standing square and pinged us for tackling off side which led to a try for them yet they got away with it twice within a few minutes. I suppose it's swings and roundabouts but I do think it had a big effect on the score, I'd have to watch the DVD to see if it was justified.

If this sides going to improve then giving away these penaltys everyweek isnt acceptable as its just giving the opposition piggybacks up the field which these side are then capitalising on. If we dont get a franchise then some clubs are going to pick up some fantastic young british players, lets just hope they get game time.

Very true, we have to make sure we are doing the basics right on top of effort and application. We cannot afford to let teams off the hook and put ourselves under pressure with stupid penalties and stupid mistakes i.e not finding touch with penalties.
