Couldn't make tonight. Really surprised by this result. How bad?!

Fairly bad. If you went to some games last year it reminded me alot like that. Never looked like we would win in the second half and didn't seem to have alot of ideas in attack. Still early doors so not time for depression yet, but was not an enjoyable match, the best team won though

On the positive side...how did Ambler go?

At 18 16 i thought we were massive favourites to be honest.

Just on a sidenote, should the player who took smith out have been sin binned???

kicking game one of the worst i have seen

as for smith being taken out powell should have been sin binned. Clearly took out smith when the ball had already been kicked.

You cannot moan about ref decisions after that performance but I think that rules must have changed this year.

Ah Van
Raynor
Powell

All should have been binned for the same foul against Leeds.
Rule change?

It wasn't great but the best team won and we gifted them 3 tries.
Too many passes were intercepted or went to ground and in Jjb's case went into the crowd.
We were looking to score off every set in the 2nd half and awful errors were punished.
Quinns will be happy and deserved the win but we still could of won this game with a pretty poor display with and and without the ball but hopefully a few good old bollickings and a flogging in training and we'll come back stronger.

Best team wins!?. Lucky against Bulls.Good against a poor Hull team.Beaten by a rugby union team!
Senior,Smith, would not hack it in amateur rugby, time for change.Harlequins have improved a lot since they dumped their coach.

Cheers. Sounds abit like first 60 mins of the bulls game. Frustrating....

From an unbiased view, how were quins?

they seem to have made a good start to the year

And worrying! Still, I'm withholding judgement until we're about another 5/6 games in

Well, why are you moaning? Bet you didn't moan at Mr Leeds Ganson when he changed the rules again with his mate Rhino Silverwood to screw the Bulls when they were the best team.Before you start bleating I support Wigan or Warrington or Widnes, only because I am related to Jonathan Woss

Another intense outdoor activity weekend in North Yorkshire perhaps seems in order then?

Bring 'em back down to earth?

Hmmmm! Possibly, possibly not!

I'm genuinely asking if the rule had changed. Even Mr Leeds Ganson didn't send Ah Van or Raynor the the bin so it must have changed right?

did anybody notice only 5 penalties were given in the match today?

do people think this was a fair reflection of the game?

Quite impressive considering most fans tippedthem to struggle this season. They soaked up a lot of pressure, especially early in the game, and looked solid defensively although Leeds posed few questions with the ball. On attack they did the basics very well. Ran onto the ball at pace, made good yards and kicked well.
They look a well drilled team.

yes

good honest appraisal, thanks

Come on!!! The score flattered us. We were well beaten by the better team tonight. I have no quarrels to be fair. Yes we could have been better but we wernt... And they were. We will need to be a lot better next week.

Which is in sharp contrast to the way they've looked during the previous 5 seasons.

I have seen very little of them in the last 5 seasons so couldn't really comment but i remember them beating us at home early last season IIRC.They did play well though tonight. Time will tell if they can keep it up for the rest of the season. I hope they do.

Why are you furnishing this **** with a reply?

Just ignore it!

Poor display in every aspect really. Our last tackle playes and defense around the ruck will be particular cause for concern. In fact our defense in general was worse than I saw most of last season, We made it far too easy for the Quins to make yards and at no point did we pressure their (excellent) kicking game.

O a positive note I thought Burgess continued his good form and Watkins showed some goo touches 2nd half, although is defense is not up to scratch at the moment.

As for Quins they looked much improved. They were well organised, they looked a lot fitter than they have for a while and if they had more pace outwide would probably scored more. They could challenge for the playoffsif they can keep up this form IMO.

Season before last (2009), the one where Leeds were fortunate not to be nilled (4-21.) Last season Leeds won 62-4.
