Should of played Bulls two weeks ago, but hey ho, cant control the weather!

No, it should have been today. The fixture should never have been arranged in the first place.

Manly playing reserve team first half apparently then 1st team in second half.

What's the 'point' of that in your one and only warm up game ?

I'm all for expansion, but we all know Manly shouldn't be playing Quins today, but should be up against a national league side just like last year.

All of the Championship teams have NRC fixtures this weekend. Surely three points are more important than a friendly? Quite a few of them also played midweek and I expect others will be playing midweek this coming week.

A decent enough game, but crucially also a decent crowd - now the trick is to try and retain some of the people who came along and get them back, the success of it can only be determined in the long run.

Of course it would have been much better for our sport for today to have been Quins v Bulls, maybe the same 2500 folk who bothered to turn up last year might have done so again.

Good game, it was all over when half-time came, when Manly walked out with their full 13.
It was stupid of Quins to play there normaly 13 in the first half, against the second-string manly squad, and then take off the normal 13 as Manly's came on.
