WTF has that gem come from?



Like Bradford give a flying one when it is us traveling, oh you are not forced to come either.













Nope, it doesn't





Nope, was done between 9 and 10am today.



The big ground has undersoil heating and Kempton park is on the all-weather track... next.

The guy I spoke to on the phone on Friday, at Quins needs sacking them for handing out duff information

Either that your your talking b0110cks, which wouldn't be the first time on this thread.

Your wrong

Its jump racing on the turf today, they have an all weather track but thats for flat racing, they have 2 seperate tracks

Awww, dum de dums. Does BG not like the opinion of others?

Anyway, definitely the first option, if it helps you establish who the guy was.. he's been working there for a year and admitted her had no idea about pitches although he knew the pitch inspection was at 4pm. He did add that discussions were ongoing with the RFL to move that forward.

Now sod off back to your little threesome with TB and Mintball.



kthxbye

Why is everybody assuming it'll be midweek re-arrangement?
Harlequins may do what Skolars do and re-arrange for CC Final weekend, hoping to take advantage of the huge amount of RL fans in the capital that weekend to boost the crowd.

Remind me, what time was the game called off?

I see all these London fans have all come out of the woodwork.

Maybe they should all follow there team then slate us on here

Some of do pal.

Look here this is what Im getting at

Im vexed off with the fact that the RFL see Harlequins v Manly as a bigger game then Harlequins v Bradford.

One is a friendly, one a Super League game.

This is my point, the RFL made us cancel the Hull KR friendly, so why don't they make you do the same with the Manly game.

It is, get over it.



No they didn't, you had ample time to re-arrange it.

Its quite good for those of us who couldn't go tomorrow anyway though...



The only sensible option now is to play it when it should have been played and ditch the friendly. But since when has the word sensible been applied to the RFL?

I can't envisage a time when any friendly could be sensibly described as more important than a superleague game.

Well that's not strictly true. 13 Terminators take on a John Connor select 13 to decide whether humanity is to be extinguished. Robocop is the ref with Bagpuss and a Smurf as the touch-judges and Hitler's ghost the video-ref.

I'm a bit sketchy on the details right now but it'll all be for charity as well.

That is fine then, you keep the proceeds from the important friendly, we accept your forfeiture of the unimportant 2 superleague points, everyone is happy.

Look, I don't care about the sodding friendly. Really. Asserting that a friendly is a bigger game than a meaningful match is obvious gibberish. Your opponents are irrelevant, it's a friendly.

I'm sure they would agree to that considering how important this warm up game against Manly is to the 'development of London'.

If the RFL mess us about regarding this, I'll certainly be finding better things to do with my time and money for the foreseeable future when we travel to the Stoop.

Spot on.

Im glad that its not just me who thinks that the RFL are messing us about.

No you're certainly not alone. I am quite happy for the RFL to assist Harlequins in promoting their club, however they should also not disrespect loyal fans in the heartlands.. which if they suggested a mid week friendly they would do.

I expect the RFL will hope we're knocked out the CC so they can schedule it in during a cup weekend.

CC weekend has been said on another forum, but how do they expect us to play the Sundaty after the final?

Two games in two days is taking the

It's called the big picture, not that I expect any Bradford fans to understand that...

of course we understand "the big picture"

it's a David Hockney piece at the Tate

What a load of twaddle. The RFL have bent over backwards to help generate interest in RL in London and the embarrassing "crowds" that flock to the Union ground that you now call home show that it is a completely pointless exercise.

In fact, the very fact that you seem to rate a warm up game for Manly as being more important to Quins than league points pretty much emphasises this.

Perhaps the RFL should have a look at these opinions and revoke the SL licence for Quins (or whatever they will be called in 2012) because it is obviously of lesser importance to them these days.

See it's not an either/or situation, we'll have those two points off you later in the season



This Manly game has been give a big push in London, you think they are gonna scrap that? get real.

A slight benefit for RL in general and a specific benefit for RL in london - I can see that. The only team which was disadvantaged by this friendly was us. There wasn't a downside for Harlequins at all. At least the weather has fixed that. Harlequins will now also have to play a midweek match (3 games in 8 days or so). Once the injuries and fatigue start to pile up and the squad is stretched to the limit they will be able to say - well at least we had a prestigious friendly against manly Sea Eagles to offset the ([iworst case[/i) loss of 6 valuable SL points
