Commentary. We got down the right end of the field enough times. We weren't starved of possession or territory. We got over the line twice. etc.

We lost by 20 points to an equally abysmal team and you say we could have won it because we got near the line occasionally? Madness.

Any team with creativity, direction and structure to their attack would have turned it into points, but as we've lacked that for weeks the argument is academic.

But yet we could have won somehow? Celtic could beat Leeds tomorrow night but they won't. They could do if they had a completely different side but they don't. Now that is completely academic and a pointless comment to make, especially without even seeing the match.

have to say you were the weakest side to play at the KC stadium this season, even Celtic gave it more of a go



your pack was non existent, where you missing a few? or is that your first choice set of forwards? its just the team looked small, and Hull aren't the biggest team in the competition.



it was just a complete non performance, which is strange considering Quins usually give a dogged, determined performance that has undone Hull many times in the past.

You would think we were missing half the team but sadly that was a strong side we put out.



Howell, Robinson, Temata missing-all clubs have 3 injured



Sorry for not offering a challenge- No one likes one sided games- sadly we are the worst team in the league currently

Thanks for that, confirmed what I suspected.

Typo.

Wasn't able to listen tonight. Lucky me.

We all could say that!



To be fair,you didn`t look like breaking us tonight.Our defence seemed up for it,something we could not say often this season.Usually ,the Quins give us a seeing off,and I feared the worse before the game.

and again we persisted with the same tired selection we have used in the past weeks............ what is the point of having young players in the squad if you don't use them?



Tonight on SKY - Huddersfield played a number of their youth players due to injuries - and pushed Saints to the final whistle



Tonight Harlequins played all their younger players in a nothing Reserves match - which they won.



Shame about the first team though

Thats the problem- we have been in a number of games where we have gone toe to toe and lost. I understand the philosophy of defence first which clearly is McDermotts strategy(just look at the type of player he buys) but you have to have attacking options and we have none. And I mean none. I have not seen a set attacking move in 3 months. You can talk me through any try you want that we have scored in recent times and it will be individual skill, a mistake or a chance option.

I was watching Salford last week and when they were attacking you could see they weren't set up to score. They were bunched, flat etc we are just the same. Sometimes when we get close we end up going backwards and hand the ball over further away from there line. Its a good job Howell can jump and catch cross field kicks or we would be in a bigger mess.

We are rubbish-full stop. For me the desire to attack finished when we played Hull at home. That day we kicked the ball dead possibly 10 times. From that day on(successful day) we have reverted to a dull, wear down(come and score from 80 yards) style of play and it hasn't worked. We are the Grinders!! as prof Cullen calls us.

Good points well made. This now seems obvious to everyone except the coaching staff. We aren't going to break down any defence if all our players stand flat and then catch the ball standing still.





What I don't get is how the reserve team can manage to play with a bit of organisation and yet it is lost on the seniors.

It dawned on me that QuinsRL are morphing into the Skolars. Poor defence, no attack. Catching the ball standing still and flat.



How depressing.
