What do you expect haha. To drop 16 points in 12 mins was a big shock to all of us. Really enjoyed the game though. A little bit of me wishes we would of kicked to touch with a minute to go we would of had a set 20 yard out but I suppose not losing was more important.

So it begins. Quins fans saying we got all the decisions last night and Fozzard leads with the elbow? Excuse me if I'm wrong but I think fozzard is the only forward who runs with both arms down. If they want to get into the ref game though, there last try which was a great chip over then the pass to get passed Mathers went forward but we ain't complaining.

As a Wire fan i can say that Cas got the better rub of the green with the ref, Foz always holds his arms high, he did for us at Wilderspool always has done.

Sack the coach. Sack the board! We deserve better, blah blah blah.

watch highlights of game and watch all the rest of the forwards and please tell Mr he's different to the rest of them. Not a chance mate.

Absolute nightmare getting to larhndon, roadworks in Twickenham, traffic rush hour etct etc..

This was my first trip for a RL game since Charlton, Jungle freebe, and quite frankly if it is scheduled again for next year on a Friday I deff. aint goin'.

Sat next to some guys who are Cas supporter who live in the Smoke and they said they cannot understand why they play (Quins) on Friday evening.

The attendence of 4100 says it all ......this with free tickets from ES plus a good turn out from approx 500 - 600 ( tho' sounded like twice that) does not give a good reflection of how RL is viewed by the good people of Twickers.

Surely Sunday will attract more of the Northern contingent to matches than Friday Ev. ........the announcer was in raptures over "....over best attendance of the season "(sic) my own personal opinion is that Twickers is a god-awful place no Pubs (gave up on the route march to the Witherspoons), eateries, cafes.......£7.00 for two pints in the Kings bar, £6.00 for scampi(?????) and chips your havin' a girraffe.

The match....Hmm well lets say a point lost........crap start (again) a la Bradford, Salford, why do we play safety first give the opposition too much respect, then decide we can blow this lot off the park as we did at the start of the second stanza, then far too complacent at 24 -10, started to play tig and pass and not stick to how we had secured a 14 point lead.....in the end lucky to get a point.

Plus points, Snitch great return, Dixon goalkicking carn't spake , rangi well rangi and Joe Arundel great game.

Negatives; Need to come out he traps all guns blazin' and blow oppostion away early doors, Ferres another poor show, handing, penalties perhaps a spell on the bench to get some form back def. NOT a centre, Mathers good on attack but bad defensively.
But hay, ho I would take 3rd in the league ATMIT

All the usual northern bias rolled into a few short paragraphs. I suppose its only in London that there are road works. Certainly never been caught on the M62 around Castleford in the past. Beer prices in London is such a boring comment now a days. If you know where to go its not that expensive and really is something that you should cost into your trip from the end of your garden path.

As for 500 to 600 don't make me laugh. I bet you were the drunken idiot who was telling a journalist that ONLY CASTLEFORD in the RL would bring that many fans to London on a Friday.

As for the crowd. Well just look at Salford's tonight are you going on their site to have a go at them? They have loads more years to build their crowds.

The ES standard offer was clearly well received and after a close exciting game I would hope that a % return. I will also add that the club had coverage in the ES this week as a result which can only be good.

Away from the Stoop the game is played by thousands of kids in schools and is getting stronger. I am not here to be a spokesperson for Quins but take your insular Northern comments and engage your brain before commenting on the south.

Anyway I went as a neutral last night and cheered to the rafters as Quins went in with 2 to go. Your lot blew it big time. Thought they had won it (as did the 300 fans in the stand).

So you were not a neutral then ?, anyway I dont really want to get into a debate about this but RL will never be well supported in London the people there are just not interested and you can have no comback about this, there were 5000 free tickets on offer for last nights game and you still could not atract a crowd of 4500 and that was with around 500 coming from Cas. I dont like to knock people for trying but when will people accept that London is a failed expeiriment ?, I await all the comments of I dont know what I am talking about and this is only sour grapes but I am sorry this is a fact.
