Micky Higham was the only Wire player to have even a half-decent game. It wasn't just the defence that was bad, the passing and handling was just awful.

I thought the ref seemed to take pity on them with some knock ons and forward passes, yet there was that call on the winger carrying the kick-off into touch after their second try. It was 12-8 then, and we scored from the next set, but it might have been them attacking from the half-way penalty and going ahead. Couldn't see the line behind the ad board so can't judge the call, but who knows, might have turned out totally different.

Had quite a good view of it. After catching the ball the player took a small step backwards just enough to cross the line. Thought the linesman got it right. If player had left it they might just have got a penalty for out on the full.

That must be our biggest Superleague score since the final season at Brentford, when Wakey, Widnes and Leigh all took a pasting.

Terrific Quins performance, although Wire were truly dire! Considering how many big name internationals they've got that was the worst shambles I think I've ever seen from any team at this level. Of course we still had to put them under enough pressure to make them crack, which we didn't do against an equally poor Wigan side in the first half two weeks back. We should have had thirty points in the first half of the Wigan game, and if we'd achieved that I can't help wondering whether we'd have gone on to pulverise them too.

been watching Wire for 20 years now and that was THE worst performance i have ever seen

It had so many handling errors, missed tackles ill discipline that i was almost in a state of shock.

Briers, both Andersons, Rauhihi, Monaghan, King, Clarke, Johnson, Gleeson all need to go
