Points well won against a team who were very disciplined and were not going to roll over. Thought we struggled in the first half but looked far more composed in the second half. Think the wind and rain had a great affect on that.

Melling had a mare at times but he also ran the ball out very well and was sound under pressure.

We had a lot of defence in the second half and were very strong.

Temata is possibly player of the season already. He and Ward have been awesome defensively and in going forward. but then their not scoring tries so are not recognised.

Had a quick word with Danny afterwards. He thinks he's torn a calf muscle, maybe three weeks out.

I don't want to put down any initiative. I think there are probably far better marketing routes which could be explored that would get better results before resorting to one-off gimmicks.

Orr or Ward?

Not good for either.

Danny Ward, he came off after about 15 minutes and left on crutches. Somehow I doubt Danny Orr is fully fit either.

I think Temata is very underrated and Im vey happy to have him in the team. Hope he's still here next season as he'd be difficult to replace as will Hecks.

Well, it was a well-earned win but a lot of dopey decision making, particularly late in the game. Wakey were fault-free in the first half I think, but it was a different story in the second half.

Not a pretty game to watch. I'd be surprised if it tempted many first timers to come back, but I wouldn't knock any initiative that gets new people into the ground.

Anybody have any idea why the temporary stage was so far away from the east stand? It was closer for the second performance but I can't see why it couldn't have been near to the touchline. And no, I'm not one of George's Groupies.

George's groupies didn't get to the game on their own. They came with mum & dad, who brought brothers, and some will be back.

It gets the club round the schools again, and reminds everyone we're still here. I took a friend of my son and his dad on my free tickets. The dad's a Yorkie who used to play League as a kid, though he's more into Union. He's been before, but not for a while, and was surprised how much he enjoyed it. He'll be back.

Agree 100% mate. New people came and tasted the experience.Kids with mums,dads and brothers. It all helps.
If we keep banging on the door people will realise we're here, and that 'ocassional game' will become a regular one.

That's probably because they showed almost no ambition and were incredibly conservative.

I don't see it as a bad thing that Quins seem happy to gamble from time to time (running on the last, going wide deep in our half, kicking on the first etc.).

Yes, the players will come up with errors from time to time, but they'll also come up with the big plays that win games.

If you chance your arm then you will come up with errors from time to time, but you'll also come up with the big plays that win games.

Also, we worked out that kicking to Grix was a good idea.
