Was that the best ever London/Quins performance? : Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:08 am  

From the games I've watched over 15 years that has to be it.

The Widnes, Wakey beatings were great but was that perfection yesterday.

Have I forgotten any games? Leeds last year maybe..........

I thought the Wakefield 72-8 game and performance was better. Wakey had finished 5th the previous year and beaten us four times out of four IIRC including three at Griffin Park.

Also the Leeds win last year, bearing in mind their strength and undisputed status as one of the top two teams of recent years, plus our depleted squad on the day and number of academy products in our team.

Certainly looking forward to seeing the tries again. I can't remember too many better team efforts we have scored than the last one.

In terms of an excellent team performance, yesterday was it. But, on reflection I think Leeds last year with the amount of London developed players in the team probably beats it.

Came back down to watch yesterday for the first time in ages (excluding Manly) - what a game to choose. Absolute blinding performance and I'll be back with some mates for Hull.
Could this be a major turning point for the club? Trying not to get too hopeful, there have been MANY false dawns before - but it's early in the season and the club are playing with flair and confidence. And the Londoner/Brit contingent are showing up too. Clubb's hit was massive, LMS's grin the same! And what about the passage of play that almost saw a score from Orr's kick that hit the post....it was quite remarkable.....
All this without Purdham, Williamson and Haggerty.
Let's hope success on the field engenders some success off it! I thought there were more like 4k there yesterday and the vibe in one stand with everyone in it is GREAT!
LMS, Clubb, Sharp, Orr & Howell for England...?

Best attacking performance ive seen. Overall ive seen a few better all round team performances, but not many!

He's an Aussie I believe. Playing really well all the same. Tough for a good looking swine!

Just the scoring of 50 points does not make yesterday's game the best for me!

Of course {well, it hasn't prevented Ricky (kiwi) Flutey...so perhaps we could get him in on residency... } Actually, if we could get Dorn and him in, that back line could perform a damn sight better than Senior et al did in Aus....

Given that Clubb already played for England v Wales - and his ability to cover wing, centre, second row....I'd say if he keeps up the good work, he'd be a shoe in for the squad. Far too early to call, but I'm liking his chances.

He's been over here for well over a year now, and he's better than Senior and Gleeson!
