Great news - seems to have all the right credentials. I wonder what the HKR fans think, why did he leave them?

You would think that the club could spell Surrey on its website though!

With regards to your final paragraph, being very stereotypical, but IMO fairly, a rugby league fan is a different breed to a rugby union fan and I personally would be disgusted if our club began to be followed by this other "type". We have a fantastic following as it is, the people are out there all over London and the South of England, and just need to be tempted in.

Just out of interest, where do you think the majority of London based Academy & younger Reserve players learnt to play rugby?

At least 3 of the current fringe first team squad are ex-union players - do they disgust you?

As far as I'm concerned they could have appointed Clive Woodward provided he did a good job for us. I get more than a little cheesed off with this bizarre inferiority complex that a number of League supporters have about RU, which (it might pain them to realise) isn't bothered one way or the other about us.

So it looks like we are going with a CEO for Harlequins 'Football' and having a general manager in charge of the RL opertaions reporting to the CEO?

Sound sports management is a benefit regardless of what sport it is being used to run.

Will Quins RL become a Rugby Club.........well you already are.
The only real thing now is that you share resources.

It makes logistical, and financial sense to bring both roles under 1 hat.
