Maybe if they sign 6-7 big name players they wont need to loan in 7 players at the same time.

Where are all these kids coming through who are supposed to be playing the game in the capital?

In the academy sides? Just a crazy idea I've had

in the academy side and the under age groups.......one of them recently scored 4 tries for England in an international, another was snapped up by St Helens........we have about another half dozen who are getting game time in the senior squad this year.
.....but some of our northern cousins expected a team full of cockneys withing 10 years


If we are going to comment on "home grown" talent, there are plenty of clubs tha are bigger targets...Hull Kingston Australians to start with

I think you will find there has been 30 years for you to produce players now surely that is enough time to be able to produce enough players so that you don't have to loan 7 in at once or how ever many it was. Also surely it would be more beneficial for the game and for your lads in the academy to give them a game in Super League rather than loaning in 7 players.

If rumours are to be believed on these forums there are approximately 650 million schoolkids who have all been playing RL at school in the London area at some point during the last 5 years or so

Surely they can find 6 or 7 decent ones to play for Quins?

Kyle Amor and Tyrone McCarthy could not agree with you more, They ask why arent quins making short-term overseas signings like Tadulala and Hickey instead of taking these young lads on loan.

Kyle is still on loan with us and McCarthy doesn't play wing or prop, so not the best way to try and make your point.

Yes, McCarthy and Amor are players on loan with you, you know the thing QUins were being criticised for.

Im not sure why where they play is relevant?

We had 2 players on Loan conpared to Quins who had 7. Bit of a difference I think you will find.
