Our attack still needs work but a step up from previous weeks. Quins gave us plenty of opportunities to practice it. A few lineout steels in the first half killed a lot of Quins momentum allowing us to exert more control.
Some time off now to rest some bodies and reflect on a long run of games

To not be able to hook the ball in that scrum was comedy, simple things that lose games, a wins a win though and always good to shut up the Healey

Yes but if you are stripped of 3 TH , 2 2nd rows and your jackler it will be

We didn't so much 'win' it as Quins lost it.Tigers86asw wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:32 pm We deserved to win the game and win did. Just. Well done Dan McKellar.
we had some glimpses of brilliance to balance out the brainless today, but still got lucky at the end.

4th choice TH did the full 80
5th choice Hooker on the bench
LH late pull out on the bench
I'm not excusing that scrum but my goodness people were saying they would be happily surprised with a LBP before kickoff just down to our front row situation...

Superb result, onwards and up wards.

Seeing as we were missing our entire first choice 2nd row and our 3 front line 3s I think that is a hell of a result.
Richardson didn’t let anyone down with work rate against a strong Quins front row who had the edge in the scrum. Carnduff made some big tackles and looked at home too.
Honestly, we should just enjoy the win and look forward to getting Heyes, Dolly, Clare, Cole, Martin, Chessum, Reffell, JVP, Watson ans Steward (and others) back

Nice to get a bit of luck go our way.
Long way from perfect, but I think our tactics were spot on, and we looked to create with the ball.
Thought Richardson played a blinder, all things considered.

We are a very good team - on paper. We have yet to translate a 23 man performance for 80 minutes. Few teams do. It does seem that STILL there are issues with passing and catching. I cannot fault the heart and desire but I hope the team cohesion is growing towards the Twickenham final.

Remy time.
But only just. My late father would say "Beat 'em by half a point. It's enough."
Still need to learn to catch.

We hooked the ball then it just bounced back forwards off Rogerson's knee, it's unfortunate and cost a try but thankfully not the game...

Maybe it could be said they lost it at the end, but equally for the majority of the game we could have scored a number of times more if it weren't for errors, the bounce of the ball, or an officiating mistake.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:40 pmWe didn't so much 'win' it as Quins lost it.Tigers86asw wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:32 pm We deserved to win the game and win did.

Also shoutout to Carnduff... McKellar showed faith bringing him on before Carter in the 2nd row, thought he brought physicality to us... like it!

Quins were poor - especially in the first half. Plenty of things for us to improve. But four points is four points.
Mike Brown scoring in front of Quins fans was the highlight for me! Well done Tigers
