Really ? What form is this ? The event is to be applauded but that statement alone is utter nonsense.

I think some of you so called London Rugby League "fans" are bloody idiots.

Just because you didn't get your own way and get a bumper crowd you start acting like children...

Skolars, Keighley, Bradford, Quins and the RFL probably looked at playing the two games on the same day but with a number of people already with tickets for the game in Tottenham it would have been a huge inconvienence to those and therefore Skolars, Keighley and the RFL probably didn't fancy the hassle of a number of disgruntled fans. There are a number of other simple explanations against this idea as well.

The groups may look at doing this next year but after the way some of you lot have kicked off I sincereley hope Skolars shove two fingers up to the Quins after the silly debate this has caused.

Come on people be proud there are two London RL teams in the pro game, support the Skolars in there venture.

Doesn't change the fact Skolars are crap and their spokesman on here is a liar though does it pal?

This has to be the most hilarious post I have EVER seen on here.
OK, so Skolars did well at Oldham. But they lost their last match 64-0.

I am a big supporter of London RL, but I have to say, Skolars have been woeful this season, and posting comments like they are coming into form is not going to do them any good. It's a bit like saying that Quins are a well marketed Super League club.

I would love to see a Quins and Skolars double header sometime though - I think it would be good for all London RL fans to get together at the same ground on the same day to support both sides - doesn't have to be Friday Night Lights event at all - why not a different date earlier in the season?

I haven't seen that many games this season and all the home ones have been woeful but the Skolars showed what they can do at Blackpool and Oldham. They lost both games but could hold their heads high for the effort they put in. They now need to show that they can play well at a home game - it's their last chance this coming Friday.

So come on Skolars - show the Quins supporters that you can play the game of rugby league - you owe it to your own supporters who are trying to defend you. No excuses.

Like we showed what we can do when we turned over Leeds?

No interest in Skolars thanks, we have enough worries of our own.
