I'd go for Ben Volavola of the available 10s who seem reasonable targets from a cap perspective. Obviously Liebenberg becoming EQP may help things but we may need an EQP player If EQP is the criteria then Worboys, trying to bring home Charlie Titcombe, give McPhillips another go. I don't think ther...

Talking of potential signings, with Pollard obviously the incumbent 10 and Shillcock proving a capable deputy if required, is there a chance to take a bit more of a punt on a back up 10. Someone like Pat Pellegrini from Coventry; really good in the PRC and champ last season, late call up into the T...

Yes, there's a training squad due this weekend. Players will come in and out as the playoffs progress.

I’m not that sold on Kev tbh might get ripped to shreds on that one He brings inspiration TBF but technically I not sold I think he's a good defence coach and an excellent leader/motivator. He's not a great coach though, perhaps he will be in time. Considering the mess that is Quins defence current...

We cant wait another year!! We need a top No 8 now. Where we going to magically summon one of those from? Weise backed Beets when he could have easily been non-committal. Moving Hanro to 8 and Chessum to 6 with Hendo and Martin in the row would give us four good ball carriers. Hatherall is a solid ...

Yeah his ankle injury seemed pretty nasty. He's quite lean currently but he's got a big frame and could quite easily fill out over the next couple of years and be another 6ft6 18 stone option. If he develops into a 6/8 that would be very useful for us particularly if he's got that ability at the bre...

For those that don’t know (including me ) who are HS and JB….can you use names as am sure that there are other users thinking the same. Jordie Barrett!

I presumed he meant Harry Simmons and Josh Bassett.

Josh Manz, iirc can play across the backrow which will potentially be very handy going into next season. He's a big lad as well so a handy jumper in the backrow. I haven’t seen much of Josh Manz, can you describe what style of player he is/his strengths/similar to any previous players? I saw him pl...

Dunno he's been playing Championship Rugby for the last two years. Could be he's got himself a deal back in the Prem now he's got his EQ status back.

I think Finn is big enough to play lock, and has done for us this season and not looked out of place. Its not so long ago that we weren't sure Martin was a lock, and look how that turned out! For me Martin has always been and always will be a lock. Carnduff could do with putting some bulk if he is ...

The All Blacks props headed by De Groot and Lomax are excellent scrummagers, so if Genge not fit it may be both Quins looseheads touring They are both absolutely massive. Going to be a tough job for anyone we send though they are tall so perhaps a shorter loosehead can cause some issues if they are...

Spoke to Jasper in the ABC at the Black Lion's game about Beets and he said, and I quote, "we've got a good one there - he is a really good player". I smiled as he had said "We've" and he won't be here and "is" a good player not will become or is a real prospect which ...

Archie van der Flier gets Young Player of the Season at Nottingham Just looked at his stats he’s tall for a loosehead. His best chance of quality game time next season will be to stay at Nottingham Same height as both Kiwi loosheads Same height as Nephi Leatigaga and Logo Munipola as well. A big ba...

Looks like Gengey picked up a calf injury and could miss England Summer Tour. We do have options at loosehead. Marler, Obano, Baxter, Rodd, Haffar, Ioygen, Brantingham... Some are a bit on the youthful side but they'd do the job for the Japan test and as the third choice. Genge is the best of them ...

100% this - hope DMK and the rest of the staff and players get some time to switch off and reset mentally and come back hungry and ready to rip! Today showed the support behind the club and even with a tricky season there is huge backing to see this great club into the new season. We back the club,...
