Good player and should do well for us even if only for 1 year. Good pace and a good ofload. Will give May time to develop as no doubt Leeds will want him back.Put O'Callaghan alongside him and we will have some real pace out wide and Im sure the tries will come. www.league.quins.co.uk/news/10542.php

He's our best signing so far I believe. Not sure he can play centre, but if he can, then it's a bonus. Putting him on the wing outside Howell would be my preference, with Melling at full back. Not sure what we'd do on the other side though.

Just Wing and Fullback.

Worryingly Skyports and Sportinglife have this as a permanent move.

Whats going on now?!?!?!

This actually looks like a decent signing!!

He will become a quality player, I just hope he comes back and its a mistake by ssn and bbc

If Quins say its a 1 year loan then it will be (sadly)

My memories of him from the challenge cup game last year are certainly positive. As said, the most exciting signing by some margin.

Great move by Quin's to tie this deal down.
For a change, lets get behind the way the club are recruiting for next season. If our new British signings are willing to give rugby in London a go, hopefully word will get back to the player's not willing to leave the North, that being down here is not a step backwards.
For the first time in a while, I am starting to feel positive about the way the club are going, & providing our core player's, perform to their potential, I can't see next season being the disaster that some of the "Doom Mongers" on this site keep predicting.
My only concern would be that our youngster's get the needle at not getting a shot at the first team ahead of the youngsters we have brought in, but maybe they will see this as a challenge & so develop & improve their own game.

I would play O'Callaghan on the wing anyway. Bishop to Centre or full back.
May hopefully will get more experience this season at Centre and hopefully come through to the first team so both should be happy imo.
As far as Northern players are concerned young single players trying to get into SL see us as an opportunity. We will play them, and they havnt got the ties, disruption or costs that an established and married SL player has so their thinking is different when it comes to uprooting and moving south.

OK, I know I've been ultra critical of our recruitment policy so far, but with this news I have to say that this is superb! Decent player and good to see him in a Quins shirt.

Glad with this signing, but still abit worried that its another Leeds player, is Brian looking at anyone that he hasn't coached before?
Brian, just because you've coached them before, doesn't mean they are world-beaters.

true, but then maybe it's what persuades players to join us rather than other squads. also Leeds' first team is so stacked that you have to be a pretty obscene youth player to break through, leaves a lot of players looking at moving on.

Much better signing.

I've not seen much of him. Has he played many first grade games?

Is our home kit blue and yellow next year?

"Were Quins Rhinos' were Quins Rhinos"

Listy get a white rose on that flag you are making

1. Ben Jones-Bishop
2. Chris Melling
3. Will Sharp
4. David Howell
5. Jamie O'Callaghan

or pretty much any combination of those five and I think we will be able to score tries again.

A few seasons ago it would have been the wattle flower, so maybe we're making progress.

for me ben jones bishop was the best academy player for leeds.i have watched him alot and he is probally going to do really well for harlequins

Where has this influx of pro-Leeds academy idiots come from?
