Quins RL keep continuity as current stars re-commit Sun June 29, 2008 by Matthew O'Neill Source: www.quins.co.uk Harlequins Rugby League are delighted to announce that Props Karl Temata and Daniel Heckenberg, along with Centre Matt Gafa, have made the decision to extended their stay in London by renewing their contracts with Harlequins Rugby League. Temata, the 29 year old New Zealander, who has been in top form over recent months has signed a two year deal that will see him stay at The Stoop until the end of 2010. Australians Heckenberg (28) and Gafa (29) have both committed to Quins RL for the 2009 season with Gafa agreeing to an option for a second year. Gafa, who is currently out for the remainder of the season following an operation to correct a serious pectoral injury, earned himself a new contract with his impressive start to the season. His 10 early tries saw him quickly become Harlequins RL's leading try scorer. Heckenberg, who has been sidelined for much of this season with a shoulder injury, made his come back last weekend with strong performances for both the Harlequins RL Reserves and first team. Harlequins Rugby League Head Coach Brian McDermott is pleased to be retaining such an important part of his core group of players, saying: "As well as promoting our young English players we want to keep some continuity in our team. "These guys have been three of our top performers over the last 18 months and I am really pleased that we are keeping three players that care deeply about our club." This announcement follows the recent confirmation that McDermott himself as well as long-time Harlequins and London Broncos player Jon Wells have also committed their future to the club. News Source: www.quins.co.uk Heckenberg out for six weeks Wed March 19, 2008 Source: www.quins.co.uk Harlequins Rugby League have taken another hit to their forward pack with Daniel Heckenberg dislocating his shoulder during a training session. Medical staff have ruled the Prop out for up to six weeks at this stage. Heckenberg underwent cartilage repair surgery on the same shoulder in June 2007 and subsequently sat out the rest of the season. This injury follows the sidelining of fellow forward Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook for up to four months with a broken wrist that was sustained in Friday night's game at Headingley. Harlequins Rugby League Head Coach Brian McDermott commented: "We always knew it was coming. "Every club gets an injury crisis and it's now up to our young players to step up to the mark and take their opportunity to show us what they can do." Harlequins have also been without Stand Off Scott Hill for the last three games due to a knee injury. Henry Paul and Matt Gafa also missed the trip to Leeds, Paul out with a bicep injury and Gafa a hamstring strain. It is hoped the three players will be back on board for this Friday's game against Catalans Dragons. News sent by: www.quins.co.uk
