Do children have to change their season ticket for a ticket down at the shop?

No just take your season ticket with you. Bout 16 of us going in a minibus down and back in a day.

Ok so the 'friendlies' are out of the way, what would everyone's 17 be for against Quins? Taking into account the friendlies, form, injuries etc etc.

10:30 - no sweat

For anyone who likes to know these things:


SATURDAY 30TH JANUARY
engage Super League XV
Harlequins RL v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 3pm
Ref I Smith TJ P Brooke TJ G Dolan IG J Cobb IG M Craven RR S Matthews MC J Connolly

Ian Smith? Not a bad start I suppose.

Need 2 props on the bench.

Was trying to highlight what little faith I have in King/Bibb at the mo, Would rather play KH at prop, at least he will be secure defensively. Think King will come good, but needs to work on his general fitness IMHO.

Yes i agree king and bibb are poor think we need another prop.

King has the experience, and on his day can be just what we need but he looks suspect defensivley to me, needs some work fitness wise and positionally.

Just one stand (ethiad) open on saturday, aparently...

I seriously hope you're joking, Hendo tough as he is would get murdered. Bibb I get your point. King I think it's wee bit early, for heavens sake at least let him play one proper game before you scapegoat him

Not scapegoating Mr V, I believe King will come good, but I have watched him live 3 times already and just believe he needs work/fitness. KH spelled at prop on 3 occasions last season and did ok. I agree it would not be ideal but Bibb/King just dont do it for me at the mo



Nearly as mad as those who think Tronc can do 80 mins aye

Maybe, but let's let King play at least one game before we start to use a very small S/R (pumped up centre) as a prop. To say you're being a touch premature is an understatement.

well he did it quite regularly in the nrl! and rather well too check his stats!

I hope all the new signings are given a fair run before people start shooting them down! Paul King has the potential to be a solid prop for us. He needs work as does any other pro player, but given time he'll come good.

Which is exactly what I have said if people read it properly

As i have pointed out, I make my assesment based on seeing him 3 times already! And anyone who thinks that defending down the middle is all about size................well



King will come good, imho I just wouldn't play him on Sat.

As for Tronc, his stats may say one thing but his body language after 20 mins against Wigan would tell another story, give him time to build his fitness, same as King.

You do realise there is a difference between a friendly and a real game?

Thankfully people who actually know what they are on about like JK (not you or me) base their team selections on more than 240 mins of friendlies.

Of course size matters down the middle, especially in defending! Did you not see how a bigger Catalan pack blew us away in the play offs. You can carry a small hooker like Sam especially as his tackling technique is brilliant, that said three Sams in the pack would be a disaster - don't kid yourself. To wish to do the same at prop is lunacy. I don't care how well Henderson has done at prop in emergency, not many would play him there if they had a real prop available ie King.

If you don't rate King after 2-3 games fair enough, but to suggest we Hendo instead of giving him a go I can't go with.

We'll agree to disagree

Be interesting to see what team JK does pick, and if indeed he does pick King (which i think he will) to see how many tries he costs us? Hope im wrong

I'm currently working in Hampton and have taken the opportunity to stay overnight tonight so I can go to The Stoop for the first time

. All the locals here tell me that the parking around The Stoop is virtually non-existent with resident passes required. Rumour has it that Quins have a limited pay car park at the ground.

I am purely going on hearsay. Anyone had any experience and been here before?
