and as a so called MOD-erator,an (in)perfect ambassador for all things QUINS RL...in your approach

What are you rattling on about? Why is it our clubs fault if other sites and media sources can't be bothered to keep up with the fixture changes? For such a secretive fixture change, it is amazing how this secret got out to so many supporters from Leeds weeks ago - and then there are supporters like you, little lapdogs for the club, refusing to admit that this is clearly their fault - if the club were LYING to me like they are in sending you such vicious e-mails, I'd be pretty annoyed with them rather than passing the blame. No RULES have been broken.

Well I do not MODERATE this forum for starters; you are an (in)perfect ambassador for all things Leeds Rhinos because the vast majority of Leeds supporters that I have come across have been knowledgeable and reasonable.

Crikey! Dont tel G1, he prides himself you know......

So beers in the bar after the game for the England / USA game chaps? I think we'll stick around after for a few sherbets if we can get a good vantage point.

Let's all lighten up. This was an original post about a good day out. I persevered with my booking for Quinns as I always do, knowing that anything can happen to kick off times and that it will undoubtedly involve coaches leaving at 8am and returning somewhat later. I persevere because, "It's a must fixture." Looking forward to a vital game and then a bit of community support for footy in the bar afterwards. With all the moaning that has gone on here can anybody tell me anywhere else where there will be fans of opposing clubs, with the majority sporting club colours, watching a footy match in the same bar? What a rare occasion to share one of the greatest attributes of our sport - "Respect for each other." Enjoy - I'm setting off with that intention!

Mate, I couldn't have agreed more. The whole thing has been another almighty cock-up, of the kind that Quins RL's office is famous for - although to be fair to them, we have no proof of who is to blame for this.

Leeds Rhinos 19:

1 Brent Webb
2 Scott Donald
3 Brett Delaney
4 Keith Senior
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Danny Buderus
11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan
14 Matt Diskin
15 Greg Eastwood
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
18 Carl Ablett
20 Jay Pitts
21 Kyle Amor
24 Luke Ambler
25 Paul McShane
26 Tom Bush
27 Chris Clarkson
28 Lee Smith

Looking at that 19 man squad, you still cant help think its going to a very hard day at the office for Quins.


Leeds maybe missing four of their top players but their forward line is still big and strong.
And wth the weather looking as if its going to be dry and sunny(just how Leeds like it) i think we going to have to make sure our defence is tight out of the wings. As i have a feeling that Jamie OC going to have a busy day out there for us.

Our players wilt whenever the sun shines too. Leeds by 24.

Let's be positive, we've beaten Leeds in each of the last two seasons; the first time we had all sorts of players missing and the second time I'm sure Leeds fielded a much straonger side than the one announced above. No McGuire, no Burrow, no Sinfield: there are some big boots to fill there and even a stong squad could find itself stretched.

Lets put the fixture kerfuffle behind us and get looking forward to a cracking game in prospect. Im looking forward to bringing my better half to her first game in the capital and looking forward to the banter and shenanigans in the bar for the footy after.

Bryan, Clubb, Dorn, Ellis, Esders, Gale, Howell, Krasniqi, May, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Melling, O'Callaghan, Orr, Randall, Sharp, Temata, Ward, Wilkes, Williamson.

Match Official: J Child

I would stick with the same 17 as last wekk. why mess with a winning team.


If there was to be any change i can only see that it be Bryan for Krasniqi.



dont know much about the ref: Mr Child

He's crap.

he loves reffing the Whinos

coming down in the car is it possible to park somewhere near the ground?

You can either use the Rosebine car park on the main road outside the Stoop or park in the college next to the ground (college car park costs a fiver, Rosebine???). Have a good trip down.

Childs for me refs like a frustrated touch judge- Very finiky(is that a word!)

Thanks alot fella looking forwar to first visit to the stoop

Be good to see you, when your on the main road it's the smaller of the two stadiums you need to aim for, the other one is our next training ground

Ian Millward fancies us today (he didn't last week).

I would be more confident if we had Purdo in the side although we did beat them without him year before last.

Some of our players (certainly Dorn and Chad) were at the funeral on Thursday and it wouldn't be surprising if there hearts weren't in it today.

Or alternatively it could galvanise them to play a blinder?

Well, we had a great day out and got home about 3am this morning. Good result for Rhino's when it really mattered and you could see that by the team reaction at the end of the game. Also superb to see so many stay for the footy in the Kings Bar after the match. Bet that must be your most successful day of the year in terms of takings!! You guys not heard of chairs!! Though I noticed them at both of the reserved sections at either end of the bar!

Also, with such a small crowd what gives with the segregation?? It was daft enough having to sit behind the posts but a bossy little woman tried to make us all sit on the right hand side of the taped off area. Quinns trying to introduce something RL has managed to avoid to date. All the friction died down when the Rhino fans just decided to ignore both her and her toy boy and fill the stand accordingly!!!!

Also - who today builds a stand with posts at the front of it and then positions wheely bins to further obstruct the view?

But then on the positive - really warm welcome in the bars - and great that the snack points stayed open before the very long and late journey back.

So once again a good day out at Quinns and a great turn out by Rhino fans. If you guys get such poor home crowds why don't you market it more to the away fans. Most of us would buy your shirt if it wasn't such a stupid price - (thousands x special visitor price of £35 as opposed to none at £50!!) and your celebration 30 year shirt is a joke with all the colours and patterns you had to choose from.

Quinns - great day out, great fans to mingle and chat with, bossy little stewards and a club administartion that is eaither not interested or has a lot to learn.

See you again next year.

The stewards were actually CHECKING peoples season tickets too. This is the first time this has ever happened. Something must be up.
