Shame one particular clever dîck numpty can't confine being a prat to on the Sin Bin.

Oh FFS lighten up, both sets of supporters missed what else was happening in sport that weekend.

Oh well at least we'll not have the only three men and a dog turn up at Quins thread or the I can believe they are playing the same day as the World Cup Final...

So there is some law saying that the Quins game has to kick off at EXACTLY the same time as the World Cup Final (whatever that is) is there? It could kick off after? On the other day? Make an event of it - the WCF on a big screen for dull people to watch before the game?
Or lets just make excuses...

Out of interest (not trolling or anything here), the World Cup Final will be on the sunday, is there a reason it can't be played on the Saturday? (I appreciate the Union lot might be playing or there might be another event, just thought the Quins folk would be better informed on this).

If there is a reason, fair enough, I'd maybe agree a Friday would be a better option, as I know I'll be watching the World Cup Final (although I wouldn't miss my club's home game for it, I may miss an away match). If there isn't a reason though, why not play it on the Saturday and solve all the problems?

Having now looked at the fixture - we would clash with the 3rd/4th playoff on Saturday - whoop-de-do. One of the most pointless fixtures in any regular world event ever played on the planet Earth

But again, it could be played after, if people deem it necessary to watch.

I knew about that, but ignored it. I love the World Cup and end up watching almost every game, but the 3rd Place Playoff is so insignificant it's unreal. There's never any interest in it unless your own team is there, and even then, nobody is that bothered.

That certainly wouldn't be a reason, so I assume something else is happening at the Stoop on the day. Either that or a big match at Twickenham?

Unless England ended up playing in it!

Ah but I remember us playing in it in 1990 against Italy. Nobody was bothered about it then. Not even the manager, who put out all the players who hadn't played much in the tournament. It's pretty much the same as a friendly game. But then, Quins have a habit of moving Super League games because of friendlies don't they?

Ah ha! There's the reason!
