Moving on up: Chad Robinson believes a couple more victories could see Harlequins challenging at the top of the table

Chad Robinson enjoys all the fun of the flair

Chad Robinson has urged his Harlequins RL team-mates to continue to show their attacking flair when they host Hull KR on Sunday.

Only Super League leaders St Helens have managed to score more points than Brian McDermott's side this season and Robinson believes attack is the best form of defence when Rovers visit The Stoop.

The second-row forward said: "Our handling has been a bit of a problem recently but we showed some attacking ability in the back end of the game against Catalans and then took that into the win over Celtic Crusaders.

"At the start of the season if we'd have said we'd have five wins out of eight then we'd have been reasonably happy with that.

"We are not pushing the top teams yet but with a couple more victories we can move right up there."

Rovers, who are just one point above McDermott's men in sixth place but have played a game more, defeated arch-rivals Hull FC on Good Friday but then slipped up against Huddersfield on Monday.

Robinson said: "They've had a few good performances this year. Like a lot of the teams who are in the middle of the table they've had a few down weeks but they've also shown a few good glimpses too. We'll have to be ready for them."

Quins RL are going pretty well at the moment on the pitch. This weeks game is an important one to win.

Hooray - the Standard covers some London Rugby League. Anyone who fancies a sensibly priced afternnons sport in the Capital - get down to the Stoop some time this summer.
