Ben Kaye?

Ben Kaye short of class? His standards must have slipped, he was good enough for the Leeds first team last season.

Ben Kaye isn't good enough for the Leeds Rhinos first team hence why Leeds let him go as they thought Paul McShane was the better prospect of the two...

I wasn't particularly pointing at Ben Kaye as having a 'lack of class' more the whole team as a unit. I hope Kaye makes it - the only real playmaker in the current Quins outfit is Chad Randall and he can't do a full 80.

I think Brian McD is doing a pretty good job with very ordinary material although with a full side on the park Quins look a mid table side rather than a bottom 4 one (which is what they looked last night). They had 6 missing and it showed.

Also Will Sharpe gave away the comedy try of the season - well worth a look on Boots n'All if it gets shown.

What was a player, who isn't/wasn't (I presume) good enough doing playing five times for the Leeds first team last season?

His not being good enough wasn't reflected in the teams results as Leeds won all five games he played in.

I don't doubt that Leeds saw him as surplus to requirements this season with the signing of Buderus and the emergence of McShane but that's no reason to say he isn't/wasn't good enough.

Will Sharpe is an Offiah protegy. It just shows what a bit of mentoring from past players can achieve. Watch out Aussies.

Thought the Boots 'n all analysis of Englands world cup 'performance' and their suggested remedies were woeful...Pity they aren't running the sport
