I think you lot should go in for Saqib as a 'dual' - he was awesome for the Broncos at Toulouse

I think you mean the Skolars. But thanks for the heads-up! I expect a real improvement from the North Londoners this year. Saqib Murtza is a good prospect but let us see how he goes in Championship One first.

Don, you jump as usual! did I not say that it is "rumoured" from good sources that St Helens have an international half back ready to be signed up??

Re: Luke Gale : Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:15 pm

Not having a go, he is our outstanding performer so far, but made 64 tackles and missed 9

Wouldn't be too concerned about half backs missing tackles...

excuse me pp for the error (too much red wine etc) - yeh, he was really influential for the Skolars on saturday without being disrespectful to the rest of the lads who were brilliant - JM seems to have instilled a great team spirit and was really upbeat after the game,very proud of the display and the attitude shown and even rueing the fact that his team didn't take the three points ! - really impressed with Neil T,Dylan S,Gareth H to name but a few but for me Saqib stood out with his powerful running & tackling - the whole team were a credit to the club and RL - hopefully the southern rl fans will respond positively.

As AlanW said to me, with Orr gone he is getting more responsibility with the ball and therefore dictates the play more and will get more opportunities to shine. Close to the line with ball in hand he is certainly looking more dangerous this season. This could be a big year for him at Quins when he really shows his talent.

Re: Luke Gale : Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:27 am  

Luke has really developed and I so agree with others that once someone is in a position to shine when someone leaves it is up them if they take it and I have no doubts Luke has raised his game even more and can have a real good season for us!

http://www.superleaguefans.com/harlequi ... rview.html I haven't even thought about next year yet. For now though, I'm happy at the Quins and I'm really enjoying playing rugby in the capital.

With Eastmond gone and the top clubs always going to Oz for their halfbacks it is quite possible he may have a chance in 2013. I'd also add that young Ellis will be in with a shout as well. He has clearly got over his injury now and has had a good preseason and got himself fit. He knows where the try line is and is distributing the ball fast and making good yards from dummy half. With the refs making tacklers clear the ruck quickly he has adapted very well.
