Think the blame lies not with the team, the coach BUT with the useless Board. The seem quite unable to bring in any new investors and am coming to believe that they really have little in any real knowledge or understanding of either Rugby League or of the need for effective marketing, player recruitment and even for the need to keep good relations with supporters.



Hence after 29 years have not renewed my season ticket will only visit to watch games with visiting teams that I used to support in the 35 years prior to 1980 etc



I think that most people know my views of the Harlequins name and the location of the Stoop as a Rugby League ground well enough. Both have failed and can only result in the Club losing it's franchise in the next renewal round if we do not go into administration before then.

I can't believe he said this after the game........ "At this stage of the season it is not about winning but performance." Im on the phone right now for tickets for Quins next home game, can't wait to see a team who are being coached that winning is not that important at the moment...............truly amazing!

Quote ="mickyb1234"Ok so lets make it much better then s oif you lot get yr way we will have no Purdo, karl t, ward, bishop, wells, LMS and no coach!! how on earth is that going to improve the lot at the mo People complain when the coach says nothing If he had come out and said "yep we were poop" it would have been correct but he would have got slated for that. We do not have a squad that is going to be competative week in week out when at full strength, so how the hell are we meant to be competative when we have 5/6 first line players out!!! McD can only work with what he has got, and i have said it before at the mo its bare bones!! rubbish for the start of the season, but obviously there is no money to recruit, so lets accept we are gonna struggle this year, lets look forward to the occaisional bright moments that WILL happen and for those that want the coach to go, replace him with who?? come on lets have some names'" I hear Jedward are available icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" />

But McDermott has stopped short of deeming it a must-win encounter. He added: “I do not accept that it is a game we cannot afford to lose. “At this stage of the season all I care about is the team performance. Sorry, but he has to either go, or at least keep these little gems to himself. Some have said that the players looked gutted after the game on Sunday...I wonder if they'll even bother trying this Sunday with motivation like that icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" />

I must be missing something, because that's seems a reasonable thing to be saying when you've a small squad, missing your best (and certainly most influential) player in Purdo, key half in Dorn, hardest worker in Temata - and just insult to injury the only player showing any form in Ben Jones-Bishop.



I wouldn't be expecting to beat Wire with that, but you need to see the application in defence we showed against Wakey - which clearly didn't happen.



The team needs to build on the Wakefield performance for the Cats game.
