Never rated Williamson and was slating for saying this earlier in the season.



Golden is our top tackler. What's wrong with him and the machine that is Joe Mbu in the 2nd?



Oh jesus, I just agreed with rupe.



The end is nigh.

keep the faith!

That said, sometyhing isn't right in the dressing room but I refuse to agree with Rupe1 or his b'stard offspring Lister

Something's gone drastically wrong somewhere - a few months ago we won at Headingley and made HKR look like a lot of bungling amateurs at Craven Park, teams don't alter that much without something going awry in the system. Someone posted that BM had 'lost the dressing room' after (if I remember aright) the Leeds game, which would explain a lot.

Can someome tell me whats happening at this club? Allthough i cant make every home game, this is the first time in 17 years that ive not seen a win.

The club seems directionless,Unless there is something happening behind the sceens,there is no sighn of a buyer for I.L.s shares,that he has to give up by the end of the year IIRC The head coach is clueless,the players dont seem to want to know,the support is hemoraging fast.

Iwant to be wrong,but i really think that by the next franchise round the club will have died.

This is my concern.

We seem to get so many promises! but nothing really gets any better with the way Our Club is run. I can't remember the last time I had anything through the mail, didn't even get the email newsletter this week.



So many websites are saying it is the end of Celtic Crusaders, yes they may become Newport Crusaders!! but they seem to have more vision.

Its a heck of a lot easier for the Crusders to up sticks and move than us. OK they may have lost a few players but Im pretty sure that with the low cost of living (comparitively) they will attract some quality Ozzies for next season. So as long as their owner can cover their immediate losses it may turn out OK for them next season. For whatever reason we dont seem able to sign a Mogg, a Brett Hodgson or a Dobson

We've had those calibre of players in the past.

We've had the Mclindens, Tommy's etc in recent times and let them go. We have big money to spend but it appears we would rather spend it on lumbering, defence orientated second rate second rows.

A proper board of (say) 5 members would help. This isn't a critism of DH, but with the best will in the world he can't be expected to do all that needs to be done on his own together with running his own business.

I hope DH says enough is enough and aims to shake the club from top to bottom with Mr. Evans help.

It's very difficult to say who should go and who should stay because at the end of the day the club HAS one long-term objective: another franchise position in 2012.



On the field you can argue that BM has made LMS and Clubb into England internationals and recruited a number of English born players but what do Quins bring to the Super League as a whole? Poor attendances, no major honours in SL era, no major final spot for 10 years, a huge turnover of players and boardroom staff, regular name changes, no true identity....



It certainly isn't looking to good but the on-field situation isn't helped by the small squad BM has to work with and he has seen injuries and suspensions to key players wreck his play-off hopes but then some of the games lost have been very close affairs like Wigan (18-24), Catalans Dragons (24-2icon_cool.gif, Saints (22-12), Wakefield (20-1icon_cool.gif and Salford (22-26) so that suggests that in fact Quins have performed very well in 2009 but then you look at then Quins have conceaded 30 points or more in 8 games.



I think recruitment is a big, big issue for Quins this winter because I think that BM has to start making big decisions and release some big names and big earners like Gafa, Dorn (maybe) and Wells as well as ditching some fringe players like Mbu, Gardner, Grayshon and Heckenberg. I'd like to see BM make some big signings but this links back to my comment about the low attendances meaning less money is available.



I think now is the time to make a big decision into the future of the Quins RL. Are the club safe enough over the long-term? Are the RFL going to drop QRL from SL in 2012? If these answers are no then there is no point making a bid in 2012 IMO and leaving the "Harlequins" name behind and once again moving.
