On the subject of past players thought Luke Gale had a good game for the Quins last night and did not look out of his depth at the top level.

Had a very good game last night and certainly didn't look out of place at that level.

It seems that Brian McDermott is a big fan also.

Championship Table Halifax return to the top of the Championship. Gateshead's victory leaves the Dons six points adrift at the foot of the table (and that prior to any points deduction).
