You cannot match it. Not one of those is a playmaker or a goal kicker.

Only Gene is at the playing standard of a Gossard or a Raguin.

None of them, including the two convicted felons, is in the playing class of Bird, Bosc, Mogg or Ryles.

Rather arrogant and ignorant statement there.

Also if I was you I would keep quiet about convicted felons.

Why should I keeep quiet if the judge has already spoken publically?

Of course, not comparing with the awful Leon Pryce.

Playmaker is crucial to any team!!

Quins had Danny Orr on for the first half, and Hull KR were behind 12-8

He never came back for the second half and the Quins collapsed.

It is a pretty basic observation that no rugby league team can win without its playmakers.

Aren't we just so lucky to have been playing under-strength teams lately?

Good job we never have any key players missing!

i would give rovers a 28% chance of getting finishing in the top 4, based on complex mathematical analysis

The Wolves are on the prowl.(cue embarassing defeat at Murrayfield next week).

I would give them a 50% chance based on they might or they might not

I notice there's no "what are Fc's chances" thread on any board (including ours)

I think the sudden loss at half time of Orr (to be replaced by the inexperienced Luke Gale, who immediately made a crucial mistake to concede a try that put the visitors in front for the first time) was a big factor in Cooke and Dobson (a class double act) being able to exert their dominance in the second half at The Stoop last week.

This week Quins were able to prepare properly without Orr and went with the experience of Rob Purdham at stand off (with Luke Dorn switching to scrum half) and this experienced pair both showed up well and along with Chad Randall controlled the game, backed up by a far more disciplined and determined display from everyone else.

Anyway, back on topic, I think HKR and Huddersfield are the best two sides I've seen so far (the only Quins games I've missed were the big wins at Salford and Bridgend, and we've yet to play Saints, Bradford or Wakey) my own team will probably be too inconsistent as usual, and I'm not convinced Wigan, Bradford or Hull will win games consistently enough to make the top four. So there's a good chance the current top four will be the final top four, with Wire possibly coming into the equasion if their improvement under Tony Smith continues to gather momentum.
