Results like that one make you wonder why they can't just get on with playing rugby, which they're clearly pretty good at. It seems they can't stop themselves being dirty though. "Hard but fair" is not the assessment of anybody I've spoken to or heard from after playing Queens, let alone a majority. I suspect that's why they're stuck playing at a level well below their abilities. Might be wrong, but that's what seems to be happening, to an outsider.

I think you are looking at and hearing from people talking about past Queens sides, I asked for comments from the teams we have played in those 2 particular competitions this year not our previous history.

Come on get behind a great Leeds team and see them march on to the National final.

If things have changed, fair enough. It was only what I'd heard, not personal experience. If you're doing it by playing rugby rather than by intimidation, then the very best of luck to you and I hope you go a long way in the tournament.

Queens have played sides this year ( Birkenshaw to name 1 ) and roughed them up big time, Some individuals on Pennine site crapping themselves incase they get in . If its down to a vote of clubs I dont hold out much hope for them, My experience of playing Queens many years ago were good ones and game played in good spirits so I wont slag them .

I think all Queens need is quality opponents as this brings the best out of them. As someone said earlier it is not much fun winning by 60 points. I look forward to a day when they are playing quality teams week in week out.

I think you have read this wrong ( Mind you it wasn't clear ). I think Headingley meant a team that is NOT in the NCL could win the cup this year.

Queens have been awesome this Season in both the National & Challenge Cup. If you ask any team we have played in those competitions they will say hard but fair. I only ask for a couple of home fixtures and we will be a match for anyone left in the National Cup.

Still not correct tho
Simms Cross Won the National cup 2 years ago
Who play in the North west counties

Queens were good at Bank Quay a few weeks ago

Challenge Cup. I wonder If Doncaster will want a ground change. I don't suppose they will fancy playing at Bus Vale!!

What do people think have Queens a chance?
