Brian's biggest problem was finding a superlative to do justice to his side's outstanding display. He need not have bothered. His players answered enough questions about their pedigree during 80 minutes of sheer grit and determination, and no little skill. "The boys showed a lot of passion and endeavour," said McDermott. "And if the game had been rugby union I would say we got to the break-down a lot quicker than Saints. "We exploited that and took our chances when they came." Chris Melling, who like Orr was signed during the close-season from Wigan, was superb at full-back for Quins. "Chris is going to be very good for us this year," said McDermott. "He's one of those utility players who can play centre, full-back or hooker, but Danny Orr was outstanding." McDermott reserved special praise for Orr, adding: "Danny is moving house at the moment but he came down for the first day of pre-season on November 1 without his wife and family. "So he's spent four or five days a week in London without his wife and kids. "For him to go through the whole of pre-season without his family and then come up with the quality he has, then he deserves great credit."

News source: www.quins.co.uk White hot win in blizzard for Quins Sat February 10, 2007 Source: www.quins.co.uk Harlequins RL got off to a dream start in Super League XII defeating Champions St Helens 14-6 away from home. Raging favourites to win back to back Super League titles, St Helens were left grasping for answers as Brian McDermott's Harlequins headed for the capital with two precious Super League points. It was a dream start for Quins, a victory that will send a shockwave through Super League, and a performance based on months of hard work. Scoring tries for the visitors were Danny Orr on his Quins RL debut, Lee Hopkins and Jon Wells. St Helens, the entertainers of Super League, were limited to just a solitary try on their own snow-laden pitch. News source: www.quins.co.uk Full match report to follow.
