Its right that the SL show is mainly aimed at northerners so there teams get most of the limelight, watch it when we play catalans dragons and they barely show one try.

It'd be nice if BBC London News, or London Tonight/London Today on ITV gave us some more coverage but hey ho.

Just watched boots N all online and to give them credit, they gave Quins a lot of praise, after mentioning Warrington were terrible, they applauded Brian Mac and our pack for playing so well. Barry McDermott especially praised us, saying that Brian Mac is delivering on his pre-season promises.

One other thing Barry Mac mentioned that was interesting was that Chad Randall offered to give back his wages after the Wigan game because of his mistake. Anyone else heard this as well? or is it just him exagerating a point.

Cats coverage is due to copyright.

I have emailed tonights Boots n'all asking for some credit as opposed to Salford/Wire were crap. Did this before I watched the on line show where as Sogs says we got some praise. Let's see what tonight brings.

BTW is Rammo back on the radio tonight?

No he's mentioned this about Chad before both on the online and tv Boots N all. And i'm not 100% sure but think even Stevo said something the same on Sky too.

As for BBC London News/London ITV todays programmes i have in the past e mailed them if they can give us a mention, i never got an answer back from either of them.

Thers is also a reporter on BBC Breakfast, Mick Bushell is his name. He does the sports for them,but he also does what is called an alernative sports slot. Well they were looking for ideas for this slot and asked people to e mail in. I had noticed that last year he had been to Quins Union so i wrote asking if he like to come back to the Stoop and do a bit on our side of the Club,just to show there was two types of Rugby beening played out of the Stoop.

and yes you guessed it already i didnt get an answer from any of the above.

Old news.
The BBC will only ever give us coverage once we give them something newsworthy.......which we never do.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
,,,,,.......sorry, nearly started a marketing rant. It's just all these other posters repeating what I and others have already posted 1,000+ times....

Every media outlet should be alerted and PRed with everything and anything that goes on at the club, especially PA - where the nationals get a lot of their sports coverage from.
The club doesnt. Why should media outlets chase them.
Quins RL dont do anything newsworthy and has no fans. so who would be interested in it.

FTR what should the beeb etc be reporting

Yep, it was mentioned in "League Express" the issue after the game.

Going back to Harry Gration - I loved his attempt at "praising" Quins on this week's SL Show - "They look like they might have a half-decent team." To which Terry Matterson snapped back: "I think they've got more than just a half-decent team!"

Good ol' Harry Grates-on. Talk about damning with faint praise.

Wish we could say that the SL show had a half-decent presenter.

TBH i can't wait until tonights Boots N All. I just want to hear Wiggy blame every one from the man on the hill with his dog down to the toilet cleaner for everything that went wrong with Wire on Saturday, and then bang on about the job TS has got there to do.

Or could i get a big shock and he say well Wolves were bad but just how good were Quins and are they a team that rest of SL should be wary off. We know Stevo will if can get it in, before he goes off on a rant about TS doing Wire and England job.

I presume it was your email Eddie read out. He seemed to think the point you were making was unfair!

I think the email had the desired effect though as prior to reading it out they did praise quins performance and what was happening at quins.

Well done.
