We provide a theoretical context for understanding the recent work of Kalfountzou et al (2014) showing that star formation is enhanced at lower optical luminosity in radio loud quasars. Our proposal for coupling the assumption of collimated FRII quasar jet-induced star formation with lower accretion...
