QUINS ON THE UP - PURDHAM
Harlequins captain Rob Purdham burst through the pain barrier on Saturday
at The Stoop to inspire his team to their fourth successive Super League
victory, the 24-0 win over last season’s play-off team Huddersfield Giants.
Now he is ready to take his team to reigning world champions Leeds Rhinos
for Friday’s top-of-the-table encounter.
Since losing to Wigan in their opening game, Harlequins have not lost,
producing easily the best start to a Super League campaign by any London
club in history.
And Purdham, who had to have a painkilling injection at half time to soothe
a shoulder injury, insists there is more to come. The loose forward said:
“We was probably our best performance of the season so far against the
Giants. To beat a team as good as Huddersfield I think it is the best
result we have had in a long time.”
Quins are currently equal-top on eight points with defending champions
Leeds, and Purdham will relish the test.
He added: “I hope I’ll be fit for Friday for the Leeds game. It is a
top-of-the-table clash and we are there on merit. They are a world class
side and we are getting there, playing well. We are confident we can do a
job on Leeds.”
